This 1900 style manifesto for improvement sounds like a mix of Booker T. Washington and Marcus Garvey.

I agree with the list. Maybe not to the fullest extent of every point but it's a good place to start for many people.

Many may be offended but many don't have a standard to begin with in the first place.

You may be balking at the idea of this list because of what they believe the list presumes are bad traits of black people.

But I see it not as presumption of what blacks don't do but what anyone should be doing for self development, some basic steps for building and maintaining a good lifestyle for self-improvement, period.

If you've been to the military and having a drill sergeant bust your ass about having a standard of cleanliness and disciplined lifestyle etc this should be easy.

This list is still applicable today.
