Hey guys can you ill give

w. e.b. dubois, was an author and member of the naacp. below is an excerpt from his article “separation”.
[ here is the letter of an honest colored man in the new orleans times-democrat.]
"whatever may be the opinion of others concerning the drawing of the color line in the south, the thoughtful negro has accepted it as a fixed principle, realizing that the race has absolutely nothing to fear or lose by social negro does not desire racial intermingling. all he wants is a square deal before the law."
[du bois responded] . . this black man would better ask himself good and hard is this: is such separation physically and politically possible, and under it is there the slightest likelihood of the segregated getting "a square deal"? . . the white south does not want separation, but subordination. they do not want separate negro schools, but negro schools under the control of white superintendence who hold the purse strings. . every man, then, that bows to the dogma of race separation must accept subordination and humiliation along with the destruction of the best ideals of democracy.

answer the following questions and include a 3-5 sentence reflection for the last question.

1. what do you think dubois is referring to when he mentions a “square deal”?

2. does dubois think african americans will be able to achieve a “square deal”? why/why not?

3. what were some of the social inequalities african americans were experiencing at this time, especially in the south?

4. reflection: in your opinion, why do you think the man speaking in the new orleans times-democrat believes african americans have “nothing to fear or lose by social separation”?
