Who was in the right?

Didn't Washington do a whole bunch of shady political maneuvering against other black leaders?

Du Bois just wanted people to write poetry and shit.

Washington was willing to make blacks a permanent working class in an Apartheid system that was never going to honor it's promises of upholding a pro-american albeit black blue collar class instead of European immigrants.

Dubois recognized the futility of trying to uplift the poorest black underclass and instead focused on intergrity and increasing a black middle and upper class.

Both had fault, clear Dubois won because America never cared for the poorest black masses.

Also does anyone else notice talk of Dubois vs Washington posts and questions only occur during the school year and never the summer?
