I'm not trying to sanitize anything, I'm saying that people like you who seemingly never read the whole essay love quoting it out of context and acting like it absolves them for being too edgy to vote.
Please. It’s manipulation and unseemly. Find your own civil rights icon that supports your point and stop whitewashing history.
Providing context is manipulation and whitewashing? Sure sure.
Absolutely, when no context is needed. Dubois wrote an article to express his intent. He doesn’t need any interpretation.
