5. "Valid criticism"
In response to In response to 0

          

Given Dubois' politics and his legacy, I'd say your description of his "Talented Tenth" theory as the catalyst for Afro-elitism is valid.

But I've always liked the Talented Tenth theory on some level because I think it says we should set our standards according to our best and brightest. Encouraging folks to aspire to the median has always seemed like a cop out to me.
