WEB Du Bois on education and wealth

this is an excerpt from The Souls of Black Folk. pgs 38-41 from the "Digireads.com" version. just for reference, it was published in 1903. that's why he uses words like "whither" (which, btw means "where"...i had to look it up)

as always, here's a link to the written blog about this passage: http://www.leesimply.com/blog/archives/146. thanks for stopping by!

Wow!

So now a race owns morality?

This couldnt of been more bigoted.

You're just an ugly suburban girl, who THINKS she can relate because of your ugliness you didnt fit in. BUT when you come across some real blacck bigots you'll see it doesnt matter who much you agree with them your still 2nd to them. You can say "kill all white people!" and they'll say yeah but you still are a racist tool for white supremacy. You didnt grow up in the hood, yu dont know how deep they're hatered is.

@benympls it's true that as a white person, i will always participate in white supremacy, whether or not i wish to simply because the system favors me because of the color of my skin. i do what i can to challenge that every day, but i'm only one ripple in the pond. of course, i believe that every action i take to be a better white person and challenge racism has an impact. it is horribly offensive that you seem to think all black people are bigots. i hope you encounter something that....

.....challenges your perceptions. because you could not be more wrong. i find your attack on me and WEB DuBois to be very sad. i can only wish for you to overcome your ignorance, and hope that happens quickly. what we put into the world we get back.

@leesimplydotcom #2 The 2 richest ethnicities are Jewish& british and its been that way since the begging of this country with jews or british swapping the top spot. Wall St was set up by Jewish Bankers& Brits, The 1st Italian wasnt let on to Wall St until the 60's and he was adopted by some rich Brits. It wasnt until the 70's that the 1st Italian with an italian name was let into Wall St.& The 1st black was let in, in the 80's. So i guess we got a 10 year head start? Not all white is the same

@leesimplydotcom 1st off when did i say all blacks are bigots, i said this is bigoted. I grew up around mostly black people& my closet friends are black so....

A tool in white supremacy?

What is white supremacy??

What is white??

Because what we NOW call white wasnt even white back in the 70's

"White" supremacy doesnt exist, British& Jewish supremacy exists

Only 2 non british presidents were ever elected to office(obama is part british).

For the majority of this country's history white was WASP
