When DuBois really wanted to get "radical", he was accused of being a "communist" by the US who was not threatened by his economic approach for his people. DuBois would later escaped to no other place than a country that was economically practicing the Garvey model in Ghana. Kwame Nkrumah in his youth days lived on 125th Street in Harlem, NY, and had consumed Garveyism. He'd later used the "Black Star" concept in his new nation's national flag, the Black Star shipping Line, and the Black Star football Team. Du Boiss could not go to Liberia because Liberia was not only a colony of the US but also a Firestone Tire "slave plantation". DuBois knew very well that pale people's lack of melanin is what made them to "redicule" dark-skined people due to deep-seated envy and jealousy, and should not be on a public stage and using it to remind us as something positive that pale people could use to legitimize their existence, rather he should have spoken the truth on the color line. But its all good when he got woke to join Kwame Nkrumah in Accra until his death which we all can agree on would make Marcus Garvey smiling in the ancestral world. We all should take a good lesson from this on who the expoliters of our souls refer to as "refined" and to support them until they morphed into "unrefined" to truly lead us on the path of true economic liberation.

DuBois and Garvey themselves are proof that the best way "to work together " is to work with others who share your views, which means you can not use skin complexion as the criteria for cooperation.

[@Bklyn_Perlz]

The problem is that Black folx fail to factor that Washington, Du Bois, and Garvey got a number things wrong in their views, as well as a number of things right. If we had taken time to use wisdom and discernment, we could weed out the bad and centr the good of each person. Also, it’s weird to expect American Black to do what foreigners do since many of us don’t know where we come from exactly. Go back to what and to who?

I believe the black community needed both men and their opnions and unique solutions equally. Unfortunately, in too many instances we (as a people) think we need to think one way or the other; pitting both solutions one against the other. Where a two prong or even a three prong approach to the issues at hand would have gone a far way to styme the issues instead. Sometimes our own ambitions, selfishness and ego works against our progress and delivers us directly into the arms of the enemy.

Funny how Garvey preached back to Africa, but Dubois actually got citizenship in Ghana and died there.

[@Macdaddyflash]

I think it displays more irony than anything else. DuBois was an intelligent man but wasn’t effective for overall change within the greater black community. Much of it had to do with his elitist approach. Garvey on the other hand was more precise emphasizing identity factors that resonated with the common black man/woman and effectively utilized key economic factors as a vehicle for change. Hence, why he was more of a threat on the world stage to European powers. Dubois wasn’t.

[@fuoks4880]

Your comment says to me that you are not informed on Marcus Garvey, go and learn about the massive influence Marcus Garvey had on the African leaders at the time, the white world that have interest in the under development of Africa did everything in there power to stop him from entering the continent, Dubois was never a threat and he can go anywhere he wants, just do a little bit of reading on Marcus Garvey before you start talking.

Hmmmm. Fantasy. No such billionaire forthcoming. Take a hard look at them. They make their money ( in entertainment and sport mostly) on us but they are about that “ money, power and respect.” They got two out of three. We need Black Power for all of us and no one is going to give us that. We gave to take it. I never heard of anybody giving power away. No one funds revolution but revolutionaries. What we need as a people is a new mind . The rest will flow from that but not unimpeded. Prepare to fight. We’ve done everything else but this time the stakes are even higher. Fight to win not to settle or negotiate by throwing the lower castes to the hyena. Until we do: Ho hum…messianic dreaming about a charitable rescue. Scoffing and coughing. Nothing personal. Both/and not either or. Talented tenth⁉️ Too much heavy lifting. Garvey’s Pan Africanism lost ground because of martial opposition , internal contradictions and no doubt agents provocateurs. but the idea that nations of any color are not about empire was and is a naive idea. From the both of them! Look at Africa today. Is it for the Africans or a few elite just like you know whom. So until we advance, we’re stuck here with the either or and insufficient analysis of the both and. The contradictions have to be addressed for a critical analysis to set off a critical mass. Physics. IMHO. That color line ish is still a major barrier. It is the origin of our discontents! Get rid of that and watch us improve our social, political and economic situations en masse. Not accepting an Afro pessimist world view. Not At all but things like the problem of the color line ( DuBois) that are not faced cannot be changed.

The dynamics between W.E.B. DuBois and Marcus Garvey could be likened to Malcolm X and Martin Luther King. Malcolm X had a plan - one that envisioned self-determination and independence. Martin Luther King SAID he had a DREAM - that ONE DAY whites would change. Martin Luther King and W.E.B. DuBois both promoted the ideal that the notion of black FREEDOM involved participation in and acceptance by whites. Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X promoted the notion that black FREEDOM involves making decisions for ourselves and a world where black people control their own resources. W.E.B. DuBois and Marcus Garvey WERE NOT FIGHTING FOR THE SAME THING. And neither was Malcolm X and Martin Luther King. Malcolm taught that if a man puts his hands on you to make sure that he never puts his hand on anyone else. Martin Luther King taught that "if there is any blood shed, let it be ours." Malcolm and Marcus taught black people to fight, MLK and DuBois taught blacks to submit to whites and hope they follow the constitution. #GTFOH

DuBois would later escaped to no other place than a country that was economically practicing the Garvey model in Ghana. Kwame Nkrumah in his youth days lived on 125th Street in Harlem, NY, and had consumed Garveyism. He'd later used the "Black Star" concept in his new nation's national flag, the Black Star shipping Line, and the Black Star football Team. Du Boiss could not go to Liberia because Liberia was not only a colony of the US but also a Firestone Tire "slave plantation". DuBois knew very well that pale people's lack of melanin is what made them to "redicule" dark-skined people due to deep-seated envy and jealousy, and should not be on a public stage and using it to remind us as something positive that pale people could use to legitimize their existence, rather he should have spoken the truth on the color line. But its all good when he got woke to join Kwame Nkrumah in Accra until his death which we all can agree on would make Marcus Garvey smiling in the ancestral world. We all should take a good lesson from this on who the expoliters of our souls refer to as "refined" and to support them until they morphed into "unrefined" to truly lead us on the path of true economic liberation.

[@DictumMeumPactum]

In a world of consequential outcomes, activism is not destiny. Material success in a capitalistic world is the yardstick that earns respect, status, undeniable identity, cultural pride and social/economic mobility. Activism is a veritable instrument of demand, assertion and defence, yes, yes & yes. But it's not a substitute for grind, industriousness, responsibility and accountability. This is my reading of both of these giants of the Black struggle.

[@agubata1]

Very thoughtful and deep reading of the issue presented

[@vnorm2907]

Yes we do not need to follow their evil capitalist system. We have others that work well for the benefit of all. Gaddafi's Green Book is one.

[@hairelementsproductsceo]

This is the most succinct and powerful capturing of my perspective, experiences, and frustrations when it comes to the much easier path of "Activism" cpntinuing to be the prevailing choice of the Black counter culture and consciousness. Very well said. I will quote your post passage often in the near future as I am engaged in this very conflict within my own industry. It's the much like the Debois and Washington rivalry.

Sounds like a study in classism, colorism & tribalism. I hate that Dubois' Talented Tenth rhetoric cut out regular folk. I hate that Garvey tore Dubois down to make his points of being for the people. I know we're not all gonna hold hands by the campfire. But I hate, hate, hate that throughout history there has always been inner conflict in the struggle. I'm not picking a side. And can't a mf compel me to either 😅.

[@wyltucker255]

While Garvey WAS The moor PRAGMATIC of The Two, DuBois was to show moor PERSONAL GROWTH. HE WAS ALSO The MOOR VISIONARY of The Two. In the Final Analysis, the FACT that Malik's Foundation was Garveyite and Martin's Organization [SCLC], worked closely with The N.A.A.C.P. proves how Important BOTH Garvey & DuBois were!

Unfortunately these two great leaders, Garvey and debois just like Malcolm & MLK, had the same goal but couldn't get past there difference to combine there intelligence. & Unfortunately Malcolm & MLK didn't learn from the example before them. With all the progress that each man accomplished, so much more could have been done if they could have got it together.

Then I must say that both ideas would had work out pretty good.Look at us today we are still trying to grasp at straws like drowning people. We have no love for each other we get very busy destroying one another instead of building up each other and creating communities of love and properties this is very sad. We must think of an idea with togetherness and without selfishness that way we can accomplish whatever we set out to do as long as we don't hurt others while getting it that is the best route.

Team Garvey. Great video. W.E.B. Dubois was throwing rocks and hiding his hand. Colorism was a major issue in America and Garvey saw through it with the NAACP having an office full of people who could pass the brown paper bag test. In hindsight, African Americans have a large spending power they could assist Africa in a positive way.
