W. E. B. Du Bois Solutions To The Negro Problems

The “Negroes problems” stated by W.E.B Du Bois was that even though slavery was abandoned, African Americans still did not get the full benefit of it. They were still being treated unequally. Also, the white race was still trying to dominate them in many ways.
The solutions to the Negro problems have been suggested by white thinkers, governments and businesses are; the first suggested solution was that the only choice for the black race is to just serve the white race without any objection or they are as good as dead. The reason for that is because the Europeans and White Americans still viewed themselves as being the most superior. Also, it suggested that the Negroes would only receive partial benefits of the all the privileges that the

white race had. The second suggested solution was to force the Negroes to work but to drive them into a more advanced social structure. In other words, they turned into virtual enslavement. Making the whole situation seems as if slavery has been abolished, even though the White race was still trying to be dominant over the colored race. The third solution has the same intention as the second suggestion. The African American, West Indies and American were forced to work for landowners and being taxed without an education. The reason they were not allowed of education, because the Whites were afraid that they would rebel against them. The fourth solution stated that the Negros were born different and that the way they developed were also different from the Whites and therefore they cannot be compared to the Europeans. The purpose of all the solutions were to keep the Negroes and the United States as well as the West Indies separated. Nevertheless, the intention of these methods were to keep the colored people from being civilized in society.
The solutions that Du Bois saw in Pan-Africanism was that the colored races and the working classes are uniting. Thus, leading countries like South Africa and America as well as the world to see that there are no different between black laborers and white laborers. Also, by uniting, the colored race could work together to achieve their goal, such as freedom and to fight back against the white race of their injustice acts.
