Malcolm X Vs Dubois Research Paper

On the last post, I agreed more with DuBois that education was the answer because it offers people of color a voice with which to firmly oppose the injustices done against them, and education is the key to ultimately gaining success. I argued that Malcolm X’s idea was more radical because of the terminology he used (“liberty or death”, stop singing and start swinging) and because I was told to believe he was a violent, pro-Black advocate. However, after the discussions in class, I changed my mind and am now at the fence. Even after reaching the end of DuBois, I am not leaning to one side in particular on deciding whose idea is more effective for racial progress in America. I think both DuBois and Malcolm X suggest some effective solutions to racial progress because education is needed to start economic stability and to understand the politics of one’s community. I think DuBois is right
I would go for Malcolm X because Dubois did not persuade me on his last chapters that education is the best agenda to reach racial equality. First, just like Mylah said, education is not always the key to everything, DuBois, did not argue that education was a great solution when he mentioned he did not want his son to know the brutal realities of slavery and its dehumanizing nature. He wanted to shade him of the endemic racism in American society. If you asked Malcolm X he would of probably used the term, “Black nationalism”, in which there needed to be more black involvement in Black communities to stop racial injustices. He would argue that racial progress started with making the black communities stronger and less inferior to white communities. He would of said something that their needed to be a direct stand in order to stop the injustices that would occur to DuBois’s son. He would have called for economic independence, so DuBois could help his son and to assist Andrew
