Let me say this again. ANYONE who says Blacks should have "just followed the Booker T. Washington philosophy" is foolish and not taking into account the times both men were in.
This takes some critical thought, and those who say it may be displaying the inability to display critical thinking, but here it is laid out plain enough for those who say it, to understand. They may not admit it, but they should be able to understand it.
Business creation means nothing if the law of the land does not protect the business owner. If the land the person owns can be taken away without compensation, what good is owning the land? If the business owner cannot rely on business law to protect the business in business transactions, what good is owning the business? If any person cannot rely on the general fair application of the rule of the law, what point is it being a member of the society you are in?
One more time, both men and both ideas were needed at the time. One would have been nothing without the other.
