How do you think Booker T. Washington's childhood as a slave might have affected his ideas regarding race relations between blacks and whites?

Answer:

Since he grew up as a slave, he may have seen whites to have more power and be superior to blacks. It also would make him feel a sense of comfortableness toward whites and maybe even resent blacks for allowing themselves to become slaves to others. Besides that he may have also have sympathy for both whites and blacks. Blacks because they were living in awful conditions and were used for others profit and whites because they would later lead to a generalization of all being bad as well as them not realizing what they are doing is taking away a humans rights and freedom.

I hope this helped & Good Luck <3!!!!
