Hot damn! Celebrating 100 years!
There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro 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 Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. ~ Booker T. Washington (1856-1915.) ~ Educator, Author, Civil Rights Leader
I have his book “Up From Slavery”. He did have worries about some Negros assimilating. Yes, he was correct, there are the likes of Sharpton, Jackson, Obama keeping the grievances alive so they can live the lifestyles they make by stirring the pot of racism. A pity, because the average blacks are Americans and are receiving the back hand of racism, from these trouble makers.
