W.E.B. Du Bois criticized Booker T. Washington's accommodationist approach. Du Bois believed that Washington's strategy of accepting segregation and discrimination in the short - term (in exchange for economic opportunities) was a mistake. He thought that such an approach did not challenge the systemic racism but rather allowed it to continue. Segregation and discrimination were deeply ingrained in the social fabric, and by not actively opposing them (as Du Bois advocated through more direct means like demanding civil rights immediately), Washington's approach, in Du Bois' view, reinforced these unjust systems.
