1. this guy is an idiot. he doesn't know what double consciousness means and hes BLACK….he was trying so hard to use any many words as he could think of and somehow explained nothing. how does white hedges understand this more than you do black man,?,,ps. it doesn't have anything to do with africa,,,tryng so hard to prove his "intellect' to the white man…

2. Stunning! Should be part of teaching history, everywhere.

3. Did Dubois have blue eyes?

4. We definitely have a need for Gerald. Hornes perspective he has so much value to add to the current conversation

5. W.E.B. Dubious unfortunately has all but been forgotten. However, I believe all true scholars find him eventually. I highly recommend reading Professor Gerald Horne's work. A fine historian.

6. What about Hubert Henry Harrison?

   I never heard of him until his book, When Africa Awakes, turned up in public domain, PG.

   I voluntarily read Souls of Black Folks in high school in the 60s and wondered, "Why do I keep hearing about this antiquated stuff?"

   Black Man's Burden by Mack Reynolds is actually more thought provoking even though it is fiction from a White man.

   When are palefaces going to figure out that planned obsolescence is just a high technology form of slavery? What is the annual depreciation of automobiles?

7. We all need educating, not training. Thank you for a step in this direction.

8. This gentleman speaks well and yet sounds ignorant 😢

9. Sing the blues

10. Them may kill me fright down

11. Outstanding!

12. Sorry… but this guy is the driest, most trivial and didactic guest who has ever been on. Isn't he a classroom professor? He ought to develop a better delivery.

13. W.E.B. Dubois was a sellout. He challenged the greatest black leaders of his time, Booker T. Washington and Marcus Garvey who gave black people hope. Dubois did absolutely nothing for black people. He started the Talent Tenth the so called black elite, we call the Boule, gatekeepers for White Supremacist. Their job was to control the black vote and keep black people divided.

14. Did he get his doctorate out of a crackerjack box? Sounds like it.

15. "My client didn't do it and he won't do it again"….that line hit me like a punch gut….brilliant discussion..ty both.

16. Homosapien isn't anything else.

17. Thank you Chris Hedges and Professor Gerald Horne, for this discussion on W. E. DuBois.
    I listened to this before, but evidently did not leave a comment.
    Again, with the deepest appreciation and respect to both of you for allowing all of us to grow with more understanding.
    For I love American history on all sides and I read many books by men and women who exercise both sides so the truth is exposed.

18. A true scumbag🇺🇸

19. Fantastic

20. Treacherous w.e.b. dubois was the ultimate biracial individuals before obummer – helping gay edgar hoover undermine The Honorable Marcus Garvey and help keep Black self determination and Black self sufficiency under control of the small hats – then crawled his treacherous old azz to Ghana and die – typical biracial dude –
