It boggles my mind how they don’t see the massive damage created by teaching a group of people to play the victim or to always attribute any failure to racism.
They know there’s massive damage. The “great new society” model was to bring blacks back under control. The biggest failure of reconstruction was not being properly able to implement self sustenance into newly freed blacks who were used to having their lives controlled. They offered the easy and “secure” route instead of the ability to take risks for ones own gain.
It’s interesting that Booker T Washington is seen as a “sellout” by black liberals today. He was big about learning a skill and being the best you can. My great grandfather ran three small businesses in his lifetime despite minimal education and was a big proponent of education. He was a big fan of Washington. Today my great grandfather would be an Uncle Tom
Washington wanted racial acceptance through proving diligence and ability to the whites. Du Bois wanted to blame whiteness and capitalism for the woes of blacks, given the choice between hard labor and being a victim we see how humans often choose.
Bingo. I’ve read DuBois and while he may have some good points (like talking about frivolous spending he had seen from blacks) he was part of the intellectual community so he had ideas that seemed great on paper. Plus he was always in the “upper crust”. Washington saw reality and knew the best opportunity for former slaves was learning a trade.
It's not as if they would care if they could see it. Just imagine what a nightmare it would be if that community actually succeeded, and they could not longer pose as its savior.
Great points. I remember one time I was watching an old Thomas Sowell interview on YouTube and one of the comments said that Sowell is just telling white ppl what they want to hear. So telling people that they control their destiny and dismantling the argument that racism is holding you down is just pandering to whites. Smh
If there's anyone telling white people what they want to hear, it's the Ta Nehisi Coates and the other three-named bastards.
Some old guard (non-white) Gamergater got infected with the disease of social justice. Disappeared for a few years, went to university. When he came back, he was calling me a 'token'.
What is it about this belief system that turns you into a vile person?

My dad always says that white people need to stand up to this. Coates gets most of his income from white leftists.
