Marcus Garvey v.s W.E.B Dubois and the battle for Liberia

[IllmaticDelta]

Pretty much. They say the US Govt Used Dubois to thwart Garveys Plans.

Pretty Much Liberia was being run into the ground by the "c00nish" Americo Liberian Elite who were pretty much cut from the same Talent Tenth Cloth as Dubois. Garvey wanted to overthrow them, Garvey more than likely would have had the overwhelming support of Indigenous groups (assuming he wouldn't repeat the same acts).

President C.B.D King of Liberia was pretty much a Crook
Liberian general election, 1927 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Garvey pretty much wanted to have personal leadership in Liberia/Africa with Western Blacks (West Indians + AfroAmericans) as the leaders to as he put it: "assist backwards africans".

he basically said native africans were dumb and lazy because they didn't realize what resources they had on their hands

.
.
.
he wanted to kick the Euro's out of Africa and have Western Blacks take over. Garvey's own words:

This is where he and Dubois disagreed about how to approach Pan-Africanism in Africa. Dubois believed that Africa should be ruled by and for Africans

.

George Padmore summed it up perfectly:

Based on this passage, it seems like Garvey was more like the "c00nish Americo-Liberian elite" than DuBois ever was. What am I missing?

You're 100% correct! One of the many Garvey(ism) contradictions

Garvey was equally harsh. “A white man’s ******,” Garvey said of Du Bois, “an unfortunate mulatto who bewails every drop of Negro blood in his veins”.

Dubois flamed Garvey for bowing down to the Klan

Garvey was gonna move to Africa by any means necessary.
