Should we have followed Marcus Garvey plan???

Marcus Garvey was a smart but stubborn man.... in the late 1800's and early 1900's...Mr. Garvey stood tall, strong, and poised against movements of Booker T. Washington, WEB DuBois, an others.... Mr. Garvey felt that people of African descent should follow his trans-African movement .....so we as an African People can live at peace away from racism and in our natural land of Africa... With Mr. Garvey's theory....he recieved many threats and bad-talk because of his thought of Africa..... However...Mr. Garvey felt this movement would help escape racism that deprive our everyday lives as African Americans and minorities in society... With this being said.. Booker T. Washington felt we should learn trade and earn the white man's respect...while Dubois believed in liberal arts education and the talented 10 percent of black folks...with these theories... Some of Booker T. Washington and DuBois theory has been inforced more than Garvey..in fact Garvey could be considered a laughing stock then... Now close to a 100 years later....I ask the question...would we have been better if we would have followed Marcus Garvey plan of returning to Africa... With all the racism.... All the trails of HBCU's recieving poor education... All the baby mama drama with black women All the drama of blacks dominating the jail system... Were our ancestors logical?? We took DuBois and Washington's advice.. we have grown..but we are still opressed....this can be seen in our everyday lives and in a government that laughs and turn it's back on black folks.... With all this being said...should we have listened to Garvey and went to Africa??? Do you all think we would be better off if we listened to him??? Please give your opinion...I will say mines later..

I walk outside of my neighborhood and turn on the news... well that is a no brainer... :cry:

i definitely think that we would have been better off in Africa but since the majority of our ancestors chose to dismiss Garvey as said laughingstock and we are still here, we need to continue trying to make the best out of our situation. DuBois and Washington were trying to do that in the past. we need more to try and do it now in the present.
