Booker T. Washington's philosophy: interactions between the races should be cooperative rather than adversarial

Mainstream media reports usually focus on racial establishments like the NAACP and Al Sharpton’s organizations; those organizations that not only disapprove of American society, but also express hostility towards white Americans. But rarely if ever does the media mention the Booker T. Washington Society: a society that espouses Mr. Washington’s philosophy of conciliatory rather than adversarial interactions between blacks and whites.

Although you probably wont see this in media reports, the black community’s approval of belligerent racial organizations has diminished over the years while the Booker T. Washington Society is gaining support among blacks.

Although born into slavery, Mr. Washington never succumbed to self-pity, nor did he allow segregation to hold him back. His hard work and diligence not only gained him a college degree, but made him a man of unusual prominence in Southern society. In 1881, while only 25 years old, he was chosen as the first president of the newly formed Tuskegee University, which has produced numerous celebrated black graduates, and is still thriving after almost 150 years.

The only thing the MSM would be interested re the name “Booker T. Washington” would be “Booker T. and the MGs” rock group. The intellectual level of the MSM is slightly above that of the sea slug but lesser than that of the plague rats.

Never heard of the Booker T. Washington Society.
Been trying to understand why the civil rights movement shifted to the WEB DuBois phylosophy (basically undiluted Marxism) for the longest time.

Good to hear there are people out there keeping the torch lit.

Those who don't back tolerant race relations would belong to the BOOGER T. Washington society.

Pick...oh never mind.

Never knew that sharecropping/tenant farming was a sustainable way of life—in “school”, I would only hear/read sob stories about how sharecropping financially devastated Negro families—back when Negroes actually had families. A better time indeed, in spite of the racism. (Thos. Sowell notes that Negro wealth actually INCREASED *before* the “Great Society”)

(Yes, this realisation dates me somewhat. Thanks to my passion for independent study, I am NOT a victim of the government indoctrination service.)

The Great Battle for The Negro Mind:

Booker T. Washington vs. W.E.B. Dubois

DuBois, an avowed Communist, promoted the concept of the "Talented Tenth," i.e., that if the very brightest Negroes were somehow selected and educated, the resulting 'Black Intelligentsia" would somehow elevate the black masses: a 'Trickle Down' effect, so to speak. With support from the Socialists, Communists, and Harvard University, among others, he won the debate, his ideas becoming official Democrat Party policy.

OTOH, Booker T. Washington believed in individual: fundamental education for everyone, and then training in skilled trades, and for those able, the professions. In short, he believed that economic independence and self-sufficiency would eventually lead to social equality. Booker T. Washington did not win the debate.

Booker T. Washington was a great American whose name, somehow, has become anathema to Liberals. The 'hood is the result: home to a culture of crime, riot, violence, illiteracy,and illegitimacy.
