The Chris Hedges Report: Dr. Gerald Horne on the legacy of W.E.B. Du Bois 

Yessss indeed

That will be an enlightening but bitter read.

I will look for it. He takes pride in his field. That has to be an awesome feeling.

You meaan........Gilead-Kabul formerly TX

He did not go to Harvard bc of his financial issues, but bc Harvard did not accept black students.

@@ibrahematta4218 : He went to Harvard. Where did you get your "facts"?

@@susanmercurio1060 He went to Fisk after being refused admission. He finished his Bs there and went to Harvard and repeated his undergraduate studies. Read the radical democrat by the late great Manning Marable. It is a biography about Prof Du Bois.

Yes Sandra - and Western mankind is also devoid of a moral compass - inhabiting a swamp of greed and depravity

I can remember whst did written and ..my ñbone in two sixteen was win

And this hatred still exists. Black communities are literally fighting for alot of the same things now as before the civil rights movement. It's as if the civil rights era ment nothing.

actually the country was built upon "I'm getting mine, I don't care about you" and the collection, evasion and enforcement of debt and property rights. Everything else including the hate sprung from those roots.

. .......and continues to rely on

Sayyyyy that

Read the "Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith carefully and Alex De Tocqueville's book, "Democracy in America," and Howard Zinn's book, " A People's History of the United States of America." Along with all Chris Hedges books and Professor Gerald Horne's. Then also may I add philosophy and history that goes back 5000 years ago as cultures traveled and languages mixed.

James Loewens books bring to life the lies we are taught in school.

@@obedirect5491 None of what happened in the past regarding our people is being taught today except "slavery" This is all by design to create and promote the narrative that nothing negative or oppressive ever occurred in the lives of Black people, they never had/have any successes, and must be maintained at the bottom. The reason our history is not taught accurately if at all, is because he gov't controls all curricula and syllabi. Thus the fight against CRT, which is only taught in graduate law schools, and NEVER in K-12 . They maintain a great fear of us bc of all the historical injustices of the past and the present.

Oh snap a fellow breaking the set fan ☺️☺️ yay.

Ujamiai acan let dlown your country

I checked his books on Amazon and found some very interesting works including one about slavery in my native Brazil.

@@maxheadrom3088 yeah, that's another great book.

Brother West as well

@@robertbartlett1958 I love both to death but they are slightly different.

You said that right... but who was DuBois, really? Read and read more. Go deeper that the surface tale. Kind of disgusting how these tales have been carried like water for so long. Time for truth to rise up from the wells.

I feel a lot of young Black people / conservatives fail to understand the breath and depth of Jim Crow law and what DuBois worked to dismantle. Yes, there were many weaknesses about DuBois and his Talented 10th theories of uplift, and the bourgeois classist thinking of the NAACP, etc. But Notions of Jim Crow public spaces, traveling and Sundown Town edicts would untenable in the 21st century. Black Conservatives wax nostalgically about Black Separatism, exalting and mythologizing the sense of Community that was Lost to Integration. Black Conservatives fail to understand that the Black Nationalist / Back - to - Africa Movements are long gone. Those windows of time are forever nailed shut.

I have only one little pushback. I argue their can be no black economic uplift under capitalism. This economic system is built to have different classes and black folks will forever be on the bottom because of racism and bigotry.

@@jonblaze4244 BIG FACTS!!!! Also the Blaxit/repat movement is strong & very much still alive

@@jonblaze4244 I would not disagree with your point about Black uplift under the Present State of Capitalism either. For what its worth, Afro Americans can never escape capitalism. Many of us remain uncritically and misguidedly " invested " in it anyway, not recognizing its traps and paradoxes. But Historically, whenever we have tried to Participate in the White Capitalist SYSTEM, we have been marginalized or completely excluded----had our businesses burned down, denied Government Protections / License, and Bank Capital. All the Booker T. and Marcus Garveyite Black Conservative disciples out there dont seem to recognize that one still needs Govt protections or Investment, if one's business is to Thrive and not remain just a "side hustle". And there is no point in going off as a Black Separatist, building your little "back to the land" commune---where is the Infrastructure and Development going to come from, where is the water and hydro-power going to come from...? The Blaxit Movement is a great IDEAL and Delusion.... it aint gonna happen in our lifetime. That Black Separatist Window of Opportunity was Nailed Shut since the early 20th century / World War I. Blaxit to Where, what part of America...? The Caribbean or West Africa-----where China is busy Re-colonizing and making slaves out of children...? Even Continental Africans cant get it together to fight off China's influence...? Sorry, if I sound Disillusioned.

@@j.w.2391 You got it wrong on China. . . . .

Be sure to research DuBois' involvement in the Tuskegee Experiments. Yes... research it.

Have you ever seen the talk Akala gave at Oxford on African contributions to world history having been erased? It's informative, infuriating & entertaining the way Akala presents. It's here on RU-vid.

Willie King and The Liberators "Terrorized"

@@chrishedges2203 absolutely love these episodes. This episode specifically got me fired up enough to try to preach DuBois to a gathering of mostly swiss German Anabaptist folks this past weekend called "kingdom fellowship weekend" . Thank you for the encouragement Chris. I just ordered some Dubois for my 12 year old son and I both to read

ONLY the black community is paying the price

BERNIECRATISM is Economic White Supremacy from the left.

Keeping it about left vs. right plays right into the hands of those who use those divisions to keep their knees on the necks of humanity.

@@doktormcnasty You’re absolutely correct. All must educate others ✊

Another manifestation of our empire's death throws.......indifference to quality citizens and a preoccupation with military, cops, wealth accumilation. 2030? 2045..........for the collapse?

We need both...no such thing as a 1 dimensional Blackman, Black is the full scale...all the colors in the spectrum combined.

No sir! We must be undergirded by a political philosophy that a bottom caste group up agenda that heals the wealth and income gap! We have the benefit of history and data to validate those prophetic voices of the past! I'm not afraid to say you're wrong to the educated class that we witness negotiate positions for themselves in #GovernmentUnderwrittenWhiteSupremacy!

@@princesstonyaj WEB Dubois didn't build a College..? Great man don't get me wrong but let's not play the Malcolm vs. Martin or Huey vs. Bobby...or Malcolm X vs. Elijah. That's the devil job to divide.
