The "Washington" in this question, of course, is Booker T. Washington, an African-American leader. Washington advocated gradualism. That meant being patient and doing what white society would allow, which meant changes and better times for blacks would come slowly.
A different point of view was taken by another leader in the black community: W.E.B. DuBois. Dubois noted that Washington's approach was not accomplishing any real gains for blacks. He also felt that Washington's point of view showed acceptance of the racial inferiority of blacks. Plus he saw that institutions in the black community were being dominated by persons like Washington, rather than really empowering all individuals for themselves.
DuBois argued that all black citizens should have the right to vote, equality as citizens, and access to education according to their abilities.

You’re so lazy, instead of sitting around all day you should start doing your homework. Those grades are really bad too, so get up and start being productive instead of being lazy!
