Does dubois think african americans will be able to achieve a “square deal”? why/why not?

Yes, W.E.B Du Bois thinks African Americans will be able to achieve a “square deal.” Du Bois takes note that despite other peoples opinion regarding the drawing of the color line in the South, the thoughtful Negro had accepted it as a fixed principle. He further points out how blacks have realized that the race has absolutely nothing to fear or lose by social separation and pinpoints how Negroes don't desire racial intermingling, his aim being a square deal before the law.

roosevelt believed that in light of the country's recent military successes, it was unnecessary to use force to achieve foreign policy goals, so long as the military could threaten force. this belief, and his strategy of “speaking softly and carrying a big stick,” shaped much of roosevelt's foreign policy.
