The summary of Chapter 3 of The Souls Of Black Folks?

Booker T. Washington's advocacy of accepting the system and working to become a part of it shocked the white nation in a positive manner. He opened doors by rising above the cataclysm of the *****'s plight and immersing himself into the culture of the conquerors - i.e. those who had been the slaveholders. Some said that Washington was giving up the quest for civil rights by accepting becoming an integrated part of the "white world". Most applauded the spirit of cooperation that Washington evinced. Washington represented both a leader of those who wished beneficial compromise and as simply a black leader. Many paradoxes accompanied Washington's opinion and leadership- that by setting aside desires for more equality in order to imilate the black man into the white business world- he was both bringing about benefits for blacks AND setting them backwards. But DuBois, while respecting the benefits of Washington's efforts cautions that the detriments were too much to be accepted by black men. He concludes that it is the duty of black men to use patience, cooperation, good will, and above all understanding while not compromising on basic equalities that all black men should fight to possess. Espousing the dangerous half-truths of Washington's "compromise" only breeds further pain for the ***** race. Dubois closes that all who are at blame for the plight of the black man, ex slave, in America should accept their blame accordingly and work, in a spirit of true compromise and cooperation, for the goal of enriching all, not to let the blame fall solely on the black man.
