this thread isnt about the wrestler...
Something about a Black man starting a college designed to put freed slaves to work...ducking the KKK in Alabama in the process.
The real question should be: why aren't other black HBCU founders not as prominent in history as Washington was.
I swear...black folk are some of the most unappreciative mufukkas

DEB Dubois is a must read. Booker T Washington was a working class koooon. fukk being working class.
booker t tried to lay the foundation for a self sustaining black community, produced more black millionaires than any other black school, and most importantly,
his students from tuskegee went to teach all around alabama, laying the foundation for the civil rights movement, which was fought mostly in alabama.
blacks are always taught to pick one or another, why cant we have plurality? he had good points, and dubois also. to be frank, the talented tenth birthed the boule, and BTW simply said, you need to learn to work, because the workers are just as important as the thinkers.

You're dumb as fukk. Please don't tell my baby what to like and not like. Also stop projecting your stupidity on everyone else.

no qualms with garvey, garvey actually came to tuskegee and admired the self sufficiency he saw. him and btw corresponded until his death in 1915
He did some ok things... but his mentality is not right to fix our current or past situations- is y we don't like him like that. He basically was a c00n. I can't knock him for that because he was directly brain washed by slave owners. However, there are other people more appropriate for us to respect.
