Re: Elaine Chao: Model Minority's Poster Child (Score: 1)

(User Info | Send a Message) | | Actually you need to learn your history better. Booker T. Washington publicly endorsed the slow and gradual approach but he privately agreed with Dubois and gave significant amounts of money to causes more aligned with Dubois and others like him. Washington realized that if he wanted to keep his public stature he needed to advocate a slow approach that would not alienate whites. But privately, he wanted changes sooner, not later. Remember Washington was scorned by whites even though he was a "centralist" as you say it. He dined with Theodore Roosevelt at the White HOuse but the public outry was so great that an African American did not dine at the White HOuse again for decades. It seems whites were just as reluctant to compromise as you have criticized Dubois for. |
