布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
The wisest among my race understand that the agitation of questions of social equality is the extremest folly, and that progress in the enjoyment of all the privileges that will come to us must be the result of severe and constant struggle rather than of artificial forcing. No race that has anything to contribute to the markets of the world is long in any degree ostracized. It is important and right that all privileges of the law be ours, but it is vastly more important that we be prepared for the exercises of these privileges. The opportunity to earn a dollar in a factory just now is worth infinitely more than the opportunity to spend a dollar in an opera-house.

白话
华盛顿说,黑人中最明智的人明白,煽动社会平等问题是极其愚蠢的。享受一切权利要靠持续艰苦的斗争,而不是人为强推。一个能为世界市场做出贡献的种族,不会长期被排斥。法律上的平等很重要,但更重要的是为行使这些权利做好准备。眼下在工厂挣一块钱的机会,远比在歌剧院花一块钱的机会有价值。他主张先经济自立、再争取权利,这策略当时被白人接受,也被后来者批评为过于妥协。
上下文
这是华盛顿1895年演讲中最具争议的部分,他主张黑人暂缓争取社会平等,先专注经济提升,被杜波依斯等人批评为妥协。
今日一问
在追求长远目标时,你是否愿意先做那些不起眼但能打基础的准备?
