The souls of black folk written by W.E.B Dubois was it prophetic? This book appears to be written before it's time. By the opening statement made at the 1:16 point of this audiobook one would think soul. The statement that is made is "for the problem of the twentieth century i the problem of the color-line". Dubuis who is black man recognizes at the dawn of the century that racism would be a serious problem. Dubois an American sociologist, historian, civil rights activist, Pan-Africanist, author and editor saw the difference in the races. He also saw and noticed that whites saw the difference also. At times it appears that feels like he a black man is cursed. This book, "the souls of black folks" was written in 1903 which was about 40 years after it put into law to own a slave.
We must bare in mind this was the beginning of the twentieth century. What is so amazing is that a people that should have been free from slavery seem to incur the wrath of those that had a different color of skin. We are no in the twenty-first century at it appear that the predicted problem of the twentieth century is also the problem of the 21 century. Dubois share some keen insights that may have helped some in the twentieth century that may help many in the twenty-first century. This is a good read and listen and enjoy!!!
