Seemingly, David Walker blamed the Black community for its own wretchedness. Was he right or wrong?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Walker did not find whites alone blameworthy for black oppression; he also harshly criticized blacks whom he felt were servile, treacherous, and cowardly and therefore complicit in their own oppression. He regarded ignorance as the principal cause of these vices. What blacks were ignorant of was not so much their group history or national culture, but God’s will.
