Washington believed of black people should be focussed on economic rights, as he thought social rights (ex. Voting rights), or equality would come naturally with time. By saying “cast down your bucket where you are,” Washington reveals his beliefs black southerners should stay where they are and make the most of economic opportunities where they are. This could also apply to equality and that they should not fight back, but deal with segregation and discrimmination now, as it will fade over time as more black people become educated and experienced. Washington also stated “in all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress,” which shows how he believes in purely social situations, segregation is a small price to pay for the success of the whole.)
