Question

Why might some of Washington's supporters say that DuBois didn't understand what life was like in the South? Based on what he wrote, do you think DuBois was clueless about what was happening in the South?

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

1. Because Du bois was born and raised in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, which is a northern state. For these people Du Bois, despite being black, had a totally different life from black southerners, because northern blacks, despite suffering limitations, had more opportunities than southerners, because the northern population was less racist and violent in relation to the southern population. who was extremely racist and aggressive. Thus they claimed that they did not have the same opportunities as Du bois and that he did not know the struggle of southern blacks because he never experienced it.

2. I believe that Du bois, despite not having experienced the limitations that southern blacks lived, knew the problems they were going through, as these problems were not hidden in any country calling. However, Du Bois based his words on his own experience and often claimed concepts that seemed very dangerous to southern blacks, but he believed that if everyone acted together, they could achieve the success of the cause defended.
