“So basically nothing has changed since Booker T. Washington’s days, when it comes race hustler profiteers.”
There is nothing new under the sun.
I understand what you are saying, but that is a different topic altogether. Perhaps what you meant was that people don't really change much, but even that is not true. However some behaviors are unfortunately never completely lost regardless of the time that has elapsed, at least so far that is.
Most don't realize that race hustler profiteers existed back in the mid 1800s, unless they have studied written history or were provided oral history that was passed down from generation to generation.
