...Resulting today in devastated communities and a Black population with the lowest scoring in income, wealth, employment, education & health outcomes...Not to mention by far the LOWEST value in Babylon social circles 
Combine that with the highest rates of incarceration, internal violence and government murder
This is a result of adopting a policy combo of the Quisling Booker T ...and the "integrationist" NAACP/Dubois models
But nuh fret!! Wi play nuff sports, run up & dung inna sun hot wid football, basketball, track, sing nuffnuff chune, dance...and generally play the fool for Babylon's entertainment and profit.
The above describes what Chemical Ben regards as the "best place to be a Black Man"
Wat-a-ting.
Three Visions for African Americans
In the early years of the 20th century, Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Marcus Garvey developed competing visions for the future of African Americans.
Civil War Reconstruction failed to assure the full rights of citizens to the freed slaves. By the 1890s, Ku Klux Klan terrorism, lynchings, racial-segregation laws, and voting restrictions made a mockery of the rights guaranteed by the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, which were passed after the Civil War.
The problem for African Americans in the early years of the 20th century was how to respond to a white society that for the most part did not want to treat black people as equals. Three black visionaries offered different solutions to the problem.
Booker T. Washington argued for African Americans to first improve themselves through education, industrial training, and business ownership. Equal rights would naturally come later, he believed. W. E. B. Du Bois agreed that self-improvement was a good idea, but that it should not happen at the expense of giving up immediate full citizenship rights. Another visionary, Marcus Garvey, believed black Americans would never be accepted as equals in the United States. He pushed for them to develop their own separate communities or even emigrate back to Africa.
