On this day in 1900, a magazine publishes the first installment of a weekly series. That series would eventually be compiled and published as a book: "Up from Slavery: An Autobiography," by Booker T. Washington.

One important theme of the book—and of Washington's life—was the value of hard work. “Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work,” Washington concludes.

Aren't hard work and perseverance two traits that have always made us AMERICAN?! And don't we lose a little piece of ourselves when our society starts to downplay the importance of work, as it has in recent years?

What would Washington make of us today?

In a couple of generations , say , and nobody will work anywhere on the planet other than for self satisfaction .
Sheeple with have to find different ways to be bored while remaining stupid.
Hopefully a huge proportion will commit suicde from their boredom making the planet a more pleasant place for the dwindling few remaining .

Hopefully Men will be redundant and we will be rid of the more dense and weaker gender . In betweeners will be melted down as surplus to anything else .
 
Booker T Washington was a joke. While he was saying that whites were being given all kinds of things they didn't work hard for.

Of course you believe all hard working blacks are a joke. No matter how many times you think Facebook posts are a reliable source for news.

I really think that a white person who thinks like you should think long and hard before they tell somebody black about work. Booker T Washington was a joke because his philosophy of kissing the white mans ass for respect was a joke. His ass was born a slave and so he knew blacks knew all about hard work. His Atlanta Compromise only empowered white racists.

Frederick Douglass spoke truth.

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”

Booker T Washington didn't want to do the hard work in struggle to force equality, yet we see whites like you praising him for words because those words are what you want to hear.

Hard work scares black racists.

Black slaves did work hard, when they weren't mutinying, running away, resisting, slowing down, feigning illness, or sabotaging equipment.

Whites were lazy and shitfless, which is why slavery existed in America to begin with. So don't be white talking to blacks about work.

So who cleared the millions of acres of old-growth hardwood forest in the central and north east coast? Who built New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, New Haven, Boston and every other city outside the Deep South? Who manned the merchant ships that took raw materials away and brought finished products to and from the colonies/states? Who fed the nation?

All slaves did was to work as little as possible and abuse their tools. That’s true of slaves of all races throughout history. Free labor always replaces slavery because it’s far more efficient.

There never should have been any slaves in the first place, so you really need to STHU. The fact remains that Whites were lazy and shiftless, which is why slavery existed in America to begin with. So don't be white talking to blacks about work.

Whites in the south maybe. It's often too hot to work down there. A warm climate usually promotes a more laid-back lifestyle.

A simple test would be what happened to the American economy in the years after slavery ended. It seems to me that it flourished as never before. This would reveal the true impact of slavery. It is also worthy of note that the end of slavery coincided with the rise of the industrial revolution, which would replace much of the labor that slaves performed. So, the era of slavery would have died a natural death even without Emancipation.
 
You could take anything IM2 says and swap the word “black” for the word “white” in it and it would sound like something the KKK would say.

Slavery was a broken economic model that failed to provide the south with the industry and economic power needed to win the Civil War. It’s an ironic twist of fate that the black-workforce enslaved in the south were ultimately freed due to being lazy and reluctant to work.

The reason for the modern disparities between black and white people are due to culture.

Also, any wealth created by slavery that benefitted the south or the north was wasted or destroyed in the Civil War, thus the term "Reconstruction" for the southern economy. The north also carried huge war debts. So the idea that slave labor provided enduring wealth for either and should be the basis for reparations is misguided.

The Economic Costs of the Civil War

Even after 150 years, the Civil War evokes memories of great men and great battles. Certainly that war was a milestone in U.S. history, and on the plus side

Man, you're really an idiot. Slavery benefitted the North and calling eslavred people lazy when the lazy people were the enslavers who did not want to do the work is another example of cognitive dissonance. You must be retarded.

Yeah the disparities are due to the racism in the white culture. You are an example.

Slavery benefitted the south, the north, France and Britain, until the Civil War swept it all away leaving the south destroyed and the north deeply in debt.

Bullshit.

In the 1830s, powerful Southern slaveowners wanted to import capital into their states so they could buy more slaves. They came up with a new, two-part idea: mortgaging slaves; and then turning the mortgages into bonds that could be marketed all over the world. First, American planters organized new banks, usually in new states like Mississippi and Louisiana. Drawing up lists of slaves for collateral, the planters then mortgaged them to the banks they had created, enabling themselves to buy additional slaves to expand cotton production. To provide capital for those loans, the banks sold bonds to investors from around the globe — London, New York, Amsterdam,Paris. The bond buyers, many of whom lived in countries where slavery was illegal, didn’t own individual slaves —just bonds backed by their value. Planters’ mortgage payments paid the interest and the principle on these bond payments. Enslaved human beings had been, in modernfinancial lingo, “securitized.”

As slave-backed mortgages became paper bonds, everybody profited — except, obviously, enslaved African Americans whose forced labor repaid owners’ mortgages. But investors owned a piece of slave-earned income. Older slave states such as Maryland and Virginia sold slaves to the new cotton states, at securitization-inflated prices, resulting in slave asset bubble. Cotton factor firms like the now-defunct Lehman Brothers — founded in Alabama — became wildly successful. Lehman moved to Wall Street, and for all these firms, every transaction in slave-earned money flowing in and out of the U.S. earned Wall Street firms a fee.

The infant American financial industry nourished itself on profits taken from financing slave traders, cotton brokers and underwriting slave-backed bonds. But though slavery ended in 1865, in the years after the Civil War, black entrepreneurs would find themselves excluded from a financial system originally built on their bodies.
