I just finished his autobiography, “Up From Slavery”, last week. A truly impressive story about a brilliant man who truly “worked his way out” of hopelessness and gave untold thousands REAL hope and change. The children of Booker T. Washington are the Thomas Sowells and Walter Williamses and Bill Cosbys of today, not the rece baiters.
rece = race...
That’s the book that Booker T. Washington quote came from.
Another great book that was a real eye opener is: “Setting the record straight: American history in Black & White” by David Barton.
The Democrats were clearly the pro-slavery party and following the Civil War fought against giving former slaves any civil rights and did everything they could to keep blacks out of the political process. They formed the Klu Klux Klan, to intimidate anyone black or white from voting for pro-civil rights Republicans in southern elections. And we can argue that the Democrats still have Blacks in a form of slavery, by twisting their knowledge of history by pretty much erasing history older than than MLK. And their new slave master is keeping’s them in “Want”, and the Government being the provider.
I heard a black lady call into Liberal Talk radio the other day saying “Republicans have been racist going back centuries, and that the only good Republican was Lincoln”. After reading the book, I was not angry with her, my heart actually wept for her and those who have been “brainwashed”, The word Cain used, and was chastised for.
