The right to vote and the fight to end segregation. It's not that he was for Blacks not voting or segregation, he just wanted to focus on getting Blacks jobs in the newly developing inudstry of the South. He was worried that tensions between Blacks and Whites would cause preference for immigrants in the new industries.

Washington believed in a better life one step at a time. Start by educating the people, then slowly work your way up to full rights. Other civil rights activists, however, were more in favour of rocking the boat and demanding everything right away. This led to a bit of tension.

Answer 3

He believed they should give up their grievances:

"There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the ***** race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the ***** to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs...There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."
