[Rhodes22-list] Politics continued - John misleader on W.E.B. DuBois

[john Belanger]

anyone heard of a program called  "no child left behind"? i'm not advocating communism. booker t wanted to stay within the system including jim crow (wiki) but was also 10 years a slave. gaston had a series of confrontations with other members of the civil rights movement but still tried to stay inside the system. i don't believe any minority in the world has been able to demonstate their need for respect without some level of confrontation occurring.

John said, "DuBois was born in 1868, three years after the war. what do you
think his point of view should be?" 

He was a contemporary of Booker T. Washington and Arthur Gaston. Both those
guys were active in Civil Rights advocacy. They adamantly disagreed with
him during his life. I respect the achievements of those two rather than
your fellow travelers. 

Communism and socialism are not a freedom bases systems. They foster
dependency and ultimately fail to provide what they purport to say what they
will provide.

They fail because they kill individual initiative. People are smart enough
to see that if they do not have to work for sustenance and medical care,
then they do not work. You cannot provide ascribed benefits out of air.
