Du Bois perceived Washington's conformist politics as being nothing more than an act short of betrayal, as it related to black social progress. Dubois characterized it as feeding into the racist stereotypes and appeasing the status quo, which he professed this strategy as being reactionary politics steeped in past historical norms and no different than the relationship blacks had with whites during slavery.
Here is a quote from Du Bois about Booker T Washington
"Mr. Washington represents in Negro thought the old attitude of adjustment and submission; but adjustment at such peculiar time as to make his program unique. This is an age of usual economic development, and Mr. Washington's programme naturally takes an economic cast,becoming a gospel of Work and Money to such an extent as apparently almost completely to overshadow the higher aims of life. Moreover, this is an age when the more advanced races are coming in closer contact with the less developed races, and the race-feeling is therefore intensified; and Mr. Washington's programme practically accepts the allege Inferiority of the Negro race."
