Mark--- You are the reason why Du Bois' civil rights activism career was put to a hault, i am ashamed that people such as yourself are still around; he was a pioneer to the civil rights movement and one of the greatest intellectuals of his time, patrotic and did more for the african american race than any other leader, but yet his favor towards communism was a righteous one given situational factors, please read the book which the quote came from.
