Du Bois himself dismissed antiracists as hate-filled to advance his assimilationist agenda

Evidence

In addition to scolding Washington for his “accommodation,” Du Bois scolded those leaders “who represent the old ideas of revolt and revenge, and see in migration alone an outlet for the Negro people.” A.M.E. bishop Henry McNeal Turner had for years preached that God was a “Negro,” but he urged African Americans to migrate to Africa so that they could leave all the discriminatory policies behind. Du Bois reduced all back-to-Africa efforts, including those on Black terms, and violent protests against enslavers and re-enslavers to revenge and hate. Antiracists were not defending Black humanity and freedom, he said, as Ida B. Wells had so eloquently advocated doing. — Ibram X. Kendi, Stamped from the Beginning, 759

• QUESTION: A historical case testing Kendi’s scheme: assimilationist labeling of antiracists hits even a titan like Du Bois — worth verifying the timeline against primary sources.
• XREF: Ties to the reader’s own goal of testing Kendi’s inversion against real cases where ideas and policy interact.
