正如可以看到的，华盛顿和杜·波依斯在如何处理和推进非裔美国人种族问题上有着不同的观点。华盛顿对职业教育抱有极大的同情，这将给美国黑人在南方的生活提供实用的技能。华盛顿没有关注社会和政治平等，而是强调了经济发展的重要性，认为一旦非洲裔美国人拥有了财富的力量，政治、社会自由和权力就会随之而来。华盛顿认为，在安抚白人占多数的问题上非常重要，因为它给他提供了经济和政治上的力量，使他能够继续推动非洲裔美国人的事业，因为他生活在动荡的南方，成为一个激进的黑人是危险的。杜波依斯的政治思想与华盛顿的“绥靖政策”形成了鲜明对比，他对民权的态度更为激进。杜波依斯认为非裔美国人在实现社会和政治平等之前实现经济平等是不可能的。杜波依斯更为激进的做法源于他的背景，因为他没有像华盛顿一样害怕，也没有经历过同样形式的种族主义。布波依斯可以更激进一些，他没有经历过奴隶制，他在北方的位置意味着他不像南方的许多人一样害怕私刑。杜·波依斯也更加关注学术教学，他认为华盛顿的职业教育在帮助非洲裔美国人的进步方面是有用的。然而，华盛顿和杜波依斯确实在政治思想上有一些相似之处。他们都认识到拥有强大的白人支持的重要性，他们既能资助也能鼓励他们的事业。
澳洲文化研究论文代写:社会和政治平等
As can be seen, Washington and Du Bois had to some degree very opposing views on how to handle and progress the African-American race. Washington put great empathise on vocational education that would give practical skills to African-American's living in the South. Rather than focus on social and political equality, Washington stressed the importance of economic advancement, believing that once the average African-American had the power of wealth that political and social freedoms and powers would follow. Washington felt there was great importance in appeasing the white majority, for the economic and political power it affording him in furthering the African-American cause and because he lived in the turbulent South, where it was dangerous to be a radical black man. Du Bois' political ideas contrasted with Washington's idea of “appeasement” and he had a far more radical approach to Civil Rights. Du Bois didn't think that it was possible for African-American's to achieve economic equality before they had achieved social and political equality. Du Bois' more radical approach stems from his background, as he did not share the same fear as Washington and did not experience the same forms of racism. Bu Bois could afford to be more radical has he had not experienced slavery and his placement in the North meant that he did not share the fear of lynching that many in the South had. Du Bois also put more empathise on academic teaching and did not feel that Washington's vocational education would be useful in helping the progress of African-Americans. However, Washington and Du Bois did share some similarities in political thought. They both recognised the importance of having the support of powerful white men, who could both finance and encourage their cause.
