    Thank You for this very polished video about my Great Grandfather's Legacy. I enjoyed this video. Some misunderstood my Great Grandfather's beliefs but he stood strong for equal rights for African Americans. He wanted the world to know we were a very smart and talented people who could do ANYTHING WE SET OUT TO DO. He proved that through achieving many things. He never lacked confidence and his offspring feel the same. Thanks for your support and uplift of Du Bois's Legacy

      Dr Shakespeare Agamemnon Beard... Never met a quadroon or octoroon woman he didn't like... Didn't stand with Ida B Wells against the "white" civil rights interlopers - in fact he embraced them. Had a sweet tooth for "high yellow" simultaneously tried to date and employ them. A real trend setter...

    Hello sir I do enjoy your channel. However you should do a story on a truly interesting abolitionist whose family was the largest slave owners in Kentucky yet he turned his back on his family in college after attending an abolitionist speech. And that would be the amazing story of Cassius Clay. His life story is truly amazing

    Mr. Du Bois was very interesting, but also polarizing even to the black upper middle classes that he was so proud to have belonged and definitely to the black Southern working-classes and sharecroppers, especially those in the South. My wife's father and his side performed very well via HBCU educations, but never looked down on the farmers or dirt poor members of their race or think that only college grads should lead the race and not the blue collar 'negro'. Some of the world's best leaders of any race or sex have been from the blue collar/working-class crowd. Yet, I do respect his quest for knowledge and desire for his race to receive a classical education.

    Wow!!! This was amazing. After listening thoroughly, I dont know if Dubois was an overall positive or negative figure for the race. If he was a wise intellectual or a fool. Simply wish he helped Washington instead of hurting him. It took Dubois half a century to agree with Washington after helping destroy Washington and his legacy.

      You're always going to find a way to blame the Black man for the fallacies and atrocities of the white man... Professor W.E.B. Du Bois was focused on his people. Not those who hold white privilege in their bosom, and the power to crush those whose only wish is to have equal footing, justice, and rights & freedom.

    He did not like Marcus Garvey because he could not understand how a man with such dark skin completion and from a little island could organise so many people all over the world. But Marcus Garvey fought for everyone of African blood. W.d.b.DuBuis fought for class and lighter completion people in America. But taken nothing away from him,Marcus Garvey did not set foot on African soil yet DuBuis died in Africa. That's like

      Wrong. DuBois was talking abt Black Americans. Garvey abt Black Caribs. Neither knew any of the 1000 Black African languages. Meaning their knowledge of real Black people was extremely limited. What abt Black Latinos? What’s more, the souls of Black Africans can not be really understood nor adequately expressed in a White man's language like English.

    • @UlrichW-mm8yz
      @UlrichW-mm8yz 3 месяца назад +1

      @@ncheedxx0109 Your comment is nonsensical.... What are "real Black people"? And who are YOU to define this? So, am I a more "real White" person because I'm a native Dane, and my wife not a "real Black" person because she is descendants of slaves on one side and Sahelian African on the other? Of course she is black, and no one needs to speak an African language to understand what this means. Being black in the diaspora is an experience, Afro Latinos will share similar experiences as other slave descendants but not exactly the same as they were owned by a different ethnic group of Caucasians then those that, say, owned my wife--not all us whites are the same so I suspect they wouldn't have ruled over their slaves in the exact same manner, but the underbelly of their horrific experiences no doubt would have been identical. No Germanic stock white American need speak their native Indo European languages either, in order for us to communicate with one another and share our unique but still similar Germanic experiences. White man's language? There are Africans in cities that are barely fluent in their native tongue(s), and most of these Africans were continentally colonized by these same whites, with many nations still keeping our languages as their OFFICIAL lingua franca of government, while only recognizing their own native languages. So again, your comment is bizarre. Only Ethiopia remains the lone black African nation that never adopted our languages as their official tongue, because they were never conquered by whites in colonial eras and never had to learn Italian or English or even Arabic.

    I’ve been watching a lot of black history lately. Whenever W.E.B. DuBois is mentioned it always bothers me. But I was always under the impression that DuBois was pronounced. doo-bwah. Is it on purpose that everyone pronounces it as doo-boys? I’m just wondering
