The black people in America were deprived of their right to understand their skills in crafts.4 The White America race has always stifled the attempts of numerous black artists. This has resulted to the question of whether the Black idea that gained support from the whites is the only one that is still there. According to historical evidence, there were and still are numerous systems of Black art that have endured racial bigotry.

Du Bois focuses much of his attention on the theme of duality and twoness. As a white American in the 21st century, I have never faced this idea of having my race be something very different from my nationality. I have felt great sadness, astonishment, terror, righteousness, and a whole range of other emotions when studying our nation’s history with racism, or witnessing examples of racism that still exist today.

DuBois, describing the ideas of B.T.Washington, doesn’t see the reality, because he believes that the problem of accepting African Americans by the society is a problem of the whole nation, and that the whole nation should make an effort for equality. His main idea is that accepting African Americans in the socity as citizens with civil rights is a business of both sides: those who accept and those who are being accepted: “On the whole the distinct impression left by Mr Washington’s propaganda is that his future depends on his own efforts“.

In American culture at large, the fiction of race continues to operate as fact.” In general, American’s view race as a cultural interest rather than a biological entity. They believe that Hispanics, blacks, Asians and whites all comprise of biological units (Fish, 1995); they do not consider the variations within these groups of people as variations of race, but simply as a diverse form of that group.
