In this article, Abby L. Ferber shares her thoughts and experiences while reading the works of white-supremacists as a Jewish person. Growing up, Ferber never noticed her Jewishness because she grew up in a Jewish community and attended a majority Jewish college. She wasn’t made aware of her Jewishness until she attended graduate school in the Pacific Northwest and another student referred to her as “the Jewish one.”
Malcolm X claims in his autobiography that whites were considered superior to blacks. This claim is supported through many instances whether it may be in history or during the course of his autobiography. For instance, the claim of white superiority is proven correct when history has displayed time and again that whites have placed restrictions on blacks which do not apply to themselves whatsoever. A few famous examples of these restrictions include colored only drinking fountains and the bondage that African Americans faced during the course of slavery. Additionally, Malcolm X mentions that since African Americans had it ingrained in their heads that whites were supposedly better than themselves, certain African Americans mutilated their
The White Race and Its Heroes, by Eldridge Cleaver is extremely unapologetic and captivating. It appears that the movements of the past are similar to the ones sit-ins have been replaced with the Black Lives Matter movement. As of today White Heroes actively practice racialism without the disguise of a hood. Things like this article and the events behind it represent minority grievances a large part of conflict, which always seems to be a controversial matter. I found it interesting that Cleaver explained how many tried to de-escalate conflicts only to be disillusioned by their efforts. I feel that many minorities are still stuck in a subordinate mindset to cope with adversities without further issues or we hide our true feelings as a way to
Initially, I felt very in tune with the writings of W.E.B. Du Bois, and when given this assignment I was certain I would pick him as my favorite author. W.E.B. Du Bois touched on a great majority of hardships and cruelties presented to African-Americans in this society. However, when reading Alain Locke there was a more advantageous response. As Du Bois touched on the distress, it developed an irritated reaction afterwards. Du Bois read was without a doubt compelling, but I appreciate Locke’s reading regarding the empowerment of African-Americans.
It's never to late to take in somewhat about your own particular kind. I have had the pleasure of speaking of around an African American man by the name of William Edward Burghardt Dubois otherwise called W.E.B. Dubois. While experiencing childhood in a generally European American town, W.E.B. Du Bois recognized himself as "mulatto". Mr. Dubois is a critical African American since he is: one of the organizers of NAACP, the primary A.A to get a doctoral degree from Harvard, and he is likewise an A.A writer, teacher, and social liberties extremist.
One of the main differences between Washington and Du Bois stems from Washington’s Atlanta Address, which proved to be one of the most controversial speeches of the decade. In this address Washington talks of a tale of two ships, one has depleted its clean water supply when another ship stops by to assist the other. A sailor on the second ship says to “cast down your bucket where you are.” This tale became famous due to Washington explaining that it is better to start were you are and ground yourself in order to self-improve and grow. This means that one should work for their success rather than to aspire to affluent ventures, such as higher education. Du Bois and many other higher educated African Americans felt that Washington was asking the underrepresented and
The black people had form a party called the Black Panther Party in Oakland, California in 1966 which established by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Sales who response to help their own people for surviving and against violence. According to the article of “Platform and program of the black panther party, 1966”, it state,“in response to police violence against black people and the deplorable unemployment, poverty, and substandard housing conditions of the inner city”(P.2). The women also form a organization called “The National Organization for Women” in Washington, D.C. In 1966 which against discrimination. According to the article, “Statement of purpose of the national organization for women, 1966”, it said,“The organization was established as a
I agree with W.E.B DuBois, because blacks are people too. They deserve an education. They deserve to be treated the same as whites. They are judged by the color of their skin. The Jim Crow laws was not right. They separated the blacks from the whites. If the a white man/women got to meet a black man/women, they can see they're not bad people. The whites were scared that the blacks would take their jobs. Just because someone has a different skin color or the features are different that doesn’t mean they're different from anyone else. Some blacks and whites probably had a lot in common, but the Jim Crow laws kept them apart. The blacks just wanted equal rights. They wanted to walk down the street without getting killed or arrested. Booker T.
W. E. B. Du Bois was an African American pressing for desegregation and equal African American rights and opertutinities. Being the first African American to graduate Harvard University with a Doctrate Degree, he felt that all African Americans should try to obtain the highest level of education they possibly can. He also felt that racial equality had to be won by fight and that it would not just come if they African American communities waitied patiently. He felt this way because most of his life he was not near a lot of segregation, so when this issue became apparent to him he felt the need to strike back hard.
David R. Roediger displays the history of how the theory of “whiteness” has evolved throughout the years in America in his book, The Wages of Whiteness. According to Roediger, “whiteness” is much a constructed identity as “blackness” or any other. He argues that this idea of “whiteness” has absolutely nothing to do with the advantage of the economy, but that it is a psychological racial stereotype that was created by white men themselves. He claims that it is definitely true that racism should be set in class and economic contexts, also stating that “this book will argue that working class formation and the systematic development of a sense of whiteness, went hand in hand for the U.S white working class.” Roediger basically lays out the fact that “working class ‘whiteness’ and “white supremacy” are ideological and psychological creations of the white working class itself.
Black Nationalist can be referred to as a member of the group of militant blacks who are involved in advocating for separatism from the whites and forming a self-governing black community. Black Nationalist was involved in reaching for the centuries of the institutionalized white supremacy in the United States. They were involved in the belief that the solution to white racism was the formation of the separate nation for black people. Majority of the Black Nationalism was anti-Semitic and anti-whites. Black Nationalism can be referred to as a political belief which was practiced by African Americans as separate people who are having a different historical personality who were politically supposed to be involved in the development of their
I think the main concept of this article by W.E.B DuBois is regarding racial inequality still existed although slavery was abolished and fought for equal rights that was made. He elucidate his point of view about the division of blacks compare to the rest of American society; like how their encounters and struggles as slaves as well as unfair treatment and the deep anguish they had to face for a long time. African American did not have the privilege of freedom. Essentially, he is saying their lives were created vulnerable by slave owners who did not show any sympathy with no mercy on them. Since the pain and anguish they went through were recognized as in the past and still has been in the present day they can reflect through. The
“How does it feel to be a problem,” (W.E.B Du Bois 3) asked W.E.B Du Bois. The activist was born during President Andrew Johnson’s term and eventually died during Lyndon B. Johnson’s term. Born and raised in Massachusetts, he graduated from a black liberal arts college in Nashville called Fisk University, and taught in a rural school during the summer. His experiences with the school were documented in his book, The Souls of Black Folk. Du Bois became the first black folk to receive a Ph.D in history from Harvard University. To earn his post-doctoral degree, he studied in Germany. However, he ran out of funds. With the Philadelphia Negro: A Social Study, Du Bois established himself as an impressive scholar of black life present in America, and the study was of the initial black communities in the United States. Between 1898 and 1910, he taught sociology at

“I believe in Liberty for all men: the space to stretch their arms and their souls, the right to breathe and the right to vote, the freedom to choose their friends, enjoy the sunshine, and ride on the railroads, uncursed by color; thinking, dreaming, working as they will in a kingdom of beauty and love.”- W.E.B Du Bois (BrainyQuotes.com) As said in the quote people are not better or worse because of their biologic genes. Many people have stood up for this in the past; one of those people is W.E.B Du Bois. He stood up by saying that our sex and skin color are not what we should be judged by.
