[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: [qb] Hey Argie. Let the brother vent. What's your problem. I do take exception to the Marcus Garvey vis-a-vis DuBois statement. Being of Caribbean parentage I did my reserach on Marcus and it did not go down like that.. . . but we are all black people with strong links eg Malcolm (part Caribbean Parentage), Powell, Holder, Biggie :D , etc. 1st generation. Let's not get caught up in that we all have the same objective here. :D [/qb][/QUOTE]It never ceases to amaze me that someone, sitting at the computer, a fountainhead of information, can make such ill informed statements! [QUOTE]Garvey's espousal of the doctrine of racial purity, beginning in the summer of 1921, however, did not originate with his alleged West Indian misreading of the supposedly different system of racial segmentation in America. "Not only did Garvey advocate race purity," E. D. Cronon comments in Black Moses,[b] "but as a Jamaican black he attempted to transfer the West Indian three-way color caste system to the United States by attacking mulatto leaders" (p. 191).[/b] This view echoed DuBois's earlier statement in his essay "Back to Africa," in which he claimed that Garvey brought to America "the new West Indian conception of the color line" (p.541). "Imagine, then, the surprise and disgust of these Americans when Garvey launched his Jamaican color scheme," DuBois recounted (p. 542).[/QUOTE]Marcus Garvey and WEB DuBois http://www.ritesofpassage.org/garvey_dubois.htm I try, unlike some here, to have a knowledge of what I say before I say it; IE, I've read many books on/by both Marcus Garvey and Dr. DuBois... FYI: Vent:release: activity that frees or expresses creative energy or emotion Inform: impart knowledge of some fact, state or affairs... ...notice the difference? :cool: [/QB][/QUOTE]
