Washington's View of the Future


Booker T. Washington envisioned a future where if everyone worked hard, quickly and efficiently in a field and most of all, do their absolute best, there would be no racial discrimination.  I only partially agree with this theory.  Why?  Because although many people would be impressed with a certain person’s hard work and perseverance, there will always be people who won’t buy the product because it was made by a person of a different skin color or culture.  So yes, they may be working harder and better than most people, but that’ll NEVER take away all racism.  One other theory he brought up was that if a black man was a better plumber than a white person, people would go to the black man and not the white man.  I would agree with this statement one hundred percent…  BUT unfortunately, like I stated before, there is always going to be racial discrimination no matter how good you are at your field of work.  It’s just how the human race works.  The better the worker, the worse the haters.
