I like this one that Sowell likes from Fredrick Douglass...
“Everybody has asked the question. . .”What shall we do with the Negro?” I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are wormeaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature’s plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone!
—Frederick Douglass
I wonder what Fredrick Douglass would say of our situation today.
Yes, and I wonder what he would say of Chicago where his race is mostly left to themselves........
Seems most blacks of intelligence and character do everything they can to leave their own people........
A close black conservative friend finds himself totally rejected by his race because of his clear-thinking political views.....including his own family......
