>and he says you are W. R. O. N. G.

Your argument is an appeal to authority and "wrong" spelled like initials? What are you, 15?

Yes, Booker T Washington was a bigger expert on race issues concerning African Americans than all of us (nobody doubts that).

Not an expert on global race relations, or the conditions abroad. And obviously those uterrances were an expression of american exceptionalism, and very likely placating white US audiences (as a champion of a contested matter like race relations you never got far if you don't appear patriotic enough. That had to wait until much later with figures like Malcom X, and he didn't have the best of receptions of course).

>but it is wrong to say that the US was the worst. It wasn't.

Nobody said it was the worse.
