I’m a big fan of Booker T and DuBoise. My family members are in educational fields and in the labor fields. The debate on real world labor and scholarly debate is still being debated today. I & other relatives chose the hands on maintenance field which takes a toll on the body but helped out families by letting our children have the opportunity to chose the education that’s right for them. I want to writ more but at this moment I have home repairs that are part of the skills I learned growing up. I’ll play this while working on my home.
Very thought provoking and articulated. In 2020, if some aren't grasping the concept of the ideas that are the basis of the problems that we are experiencing socially in the US, and the world, they are simply choosing to.
I've enjoyed your lecture, you gave me a better depiction of who this man was and how his life work became so important to the future generations of African Americans. Thank you for this knowledge.
I’m revisiting and reading the Souls of Black Folk, W E DuBois and like hearing different perspectives and the real-life connections illustrated during Dr Smith’s lecture. He’s great!! Ase’
Or he is just a Dr/professor. Not every black person needs to be compared to their entertainment equal just saying this is a bit racist I know you don’t think it is but you could’ve just said he is brilliant
Really enjoy your lecture. You really inspire discourse. You have a great gift for teaching. I am NOLA Creole. We were always in the trades. We usually went to college to get a trade. We were able to marry and have families as slaves. We have firm families. But Christ got us through all the terrible times. We do not try to integrate so much. I am curious why Dubois decided to be a Communist. It seems like a oligarchic system.
Liberal arts education vs practical arts education? Well, since science and math are considered liberal arts we can then say the liberal arts provide the explanation of the practical application. Practical describes how to do something. Liberal arts describe why it can be done.
“I actually think they are looking for my intelligence.. but no..” I feel you brotha . Imma artist but dang my job isn’t entertaining and informing you about the black experience all day
I feel the terms "black" and "white" have resulted in an ideology which concludes we are different. We are only different in how this world has treated us but we are intrinsically the same. There is no black and there is no white. There are simply differences in physical appearance due to genetic variations.
I am so glad both of my sons have made it thru four year public colleges and are gainfully employed. I would hate the thought of paying $54,000 a year to learn that Dr. Smith’s post office was robbed by three young black men his senior year and that he and his wife cleared out a restaurant they dined in. Would this get my son a job? It certainly would have been much more educational to actually center on WEB Dubois rather than make him the mere diving board to launch into little more than personal experience. No potential employer will care about his opinions, but those of Dubois might very well be another matter. Why a faculty member from an English department is (supposedly) lecturing on an HISTORICAL icon is beyond me in the first place. Dr.Smith confuses the spoon with the soup….an indoctrinator dressed as an academic. TRULY, Dr.Smith would do well to consider a career change towards pastoring/preaching.
I think this is a big problem in today's society. People's inability to simply listen. I read your comment and wondered, did he even listen to the same lecture I did?
If college to you is just a means of getting a job, then perhaps you feel that way about many equally well taught courses. The fact is, if your sons end up being leaders in their fields, they would have done well to sit through such a lecture, which builds on an ancient intellectual tradition.
Is “supposedly” lecturing.. you def didn’t watch full video or are so blinded by your prejudices you can’t see your hand in front of your own face. To say he is supposedly lecturing, tho he is clearly doing this in front of a class is basically saying “is this black dude REALLY a Dr? ... can’t be a credible school... blah blah blah” your a old white looking dude surprise surprise you don’t like this lol
Can I say something about the problem with racism that everyone misses. No matter were you stand or what perceived wrongs you may have, "Yarr, activism means nothing if it's not intersectional." Horatio McAllister. I'd like for someone to hear what I got to say about how they are hanging onto the wrong thing and missing the important parts. Just once, open minded willing to hear my perspective without preconception of who I am. I'd like to show you how your wrong, so you can show everyone else what they were wrong. I'm not going to get into it in this comment, and not without assurance of someone willing to listen, even if they think it's only to point out how I'm wrong after I'm done. As long as they are willing to take what I have to say serious and consider thoughtfully as a rational person. 😉🤫
This is one of the most engrossing lectures on Du Bois. Prof. Smith is a brilliant orator with a keen insight on history.
I am truely disapointed that only 12 people so far haveseen this link by this young man i am 81 and itruely am enjoying thank you sir.....
Cheers to you sir!
Very articulate and very well put together Sir… the ancestors are pleased !!!! 👏🏾👏🏾

We're no longer in the veil.. they're used to us being blinded. The veil is fading and fading: The Fading of the Veil!
Brilliant man, smart and sharp. I wish we could have more professors like him.
This lecture is next level…I damn near started levitating!!!✊🏽💯 #salute
He did an incredible job!!!!!

Just stumbled across this unbelievably fantastic lecture. This is an incredible teacher!
I drink to your health Dr Joshua hoping you got such a long life like Dr W.E.B.
Dr. Smith is an excellent lecturer! Currently reading through Du Bois' "Souls of Black Folk." Very helpful.
I have no idea why none of my profs delivers lectures in such an inspiring way,
Cause they don't care. They're just picking up a check.
@LHMOM.8610 what kind of white people is he talking about very broad cause the so called black man is die from one another
@@LHMOM.8610I know that all Black people come from a similar place and the climate of the world is dependent on politics.
Brilliant teaser to the giant WEB Du Bois was. Thank you.
the souls of black folk and many books like it can be found on google play books
So glad I stumbled on this. A great subject and a great lecture. Definitely going to check out more from him
I like how you put it thr first time "How does it feel to be the problem?"
I've enjoyed your lecture, you gave me a better depiction of who this man was and how his life work became so important to the future generations of African Americans. Thank you for this knowledge.
Absolutely well done and definitely keep it up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Oh god it’s depressing but enlightening. We are so bounded by the forces of history even today. It’s 2021.
He's like a brilliant, eloquent Kevin Hart. Awesome lecture!
Or he is just a Dr/professor. Not every black person needs to be compared to their entertainment equal just saying this is a bit racist I know you don’t think it is but you could’ve just said he is brilliant
Amazing lecture. Thank you so much!!

Broken down into easily digested chunks.

Was his name ever pronounced Doo Bwa?
Yes, but by DuBois himself, no.
I am his Great Grandson. He did not like that pronunciation. That is a French pronunciation but he preferred a more American pronunciation. Doo Boyce
Wow! Respect!
Thank you. @@Jeffreyduboispeck

Intersectionality disregards men and whites being discriminated. I cant get behind that. Its a racist and sexist ideology.
Boooooooo. Think beyond yourself.
