[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

He considered a great black philosopher.

He wasnt pro black like garvey was he was more of a boule liberal democrat.

He started the naacp which was a important civil right organization for many years.

He wrote great books and was a pioneer in activism.

I gotta look it up but I think a white Jew started the the naacp

W E. B Dubois is a polarizing figure. He was a pioneer but at the same time he was Boule/ a protector for white interest which keeps guys like him paid. I kinda felt his "Talented Tenth" mantra.

Where do you begin? He was so influential and I don't think he is as appreciated as he should be...if that makes sense, I could be wrong.

I did a project when I was younger on the Harlem Renaissance and Du Bois really sparked my interest in civil rights.

Yeah, I don't think there was a black president/leader of the NAACP until the 70's. Somebody fact check that

he would be a shea butter today and would get clowned on the coli. He was used to destroy Marcus Garvey movement that's all you need to know about that fukk nikka. He also went at Booker T Washington preaching economic empowerment and self sufficency of black ppl. Straight backwards fukk shyt like all these shea butters and feminists.

Talented Tenth was a flawed notion as well. Because instead of Black intellectuals leading Black people, we have entertainers, compromised politicians and crooked preachers.

Funny you should mention him. I'm using his theoretical framework on double consciousness to do a qualitative study on young black male students to investigate whether they feel their educational experiences have been culturally responsive or not.

Any conversation on dubois that tries to relegate him to a 5-10 year period is kinda pointless

• Talk about CIA and garvey all you want but Dubois was instrumental in the pan African congress movement that lead to "political" decolonization in Africa
• While his "talented tenth" notion eventually gave way to his ideas on the “Guiding Hundredth”

Point being, his positions swinged wildly throughout his 95 years life. You don't pin Malcolm X to “Detroit Red” then act like nothing else happened after that.

SIDENOTE:
Stop with all the Dubois vs Washington nonsense. shyt is old bruh. Both approaches were needed.
One person focused on material economic needs while the other focused on ideological political needs.
