"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. Some of these people do not want
the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to 
lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem 
solvers who don't want the patient to get well."

- Booker T. Washington

Booker T. Washington knew.

Wish I could think of a clever bumper sticker with that: hmmm

And when did Booker T Washington write that? Indeed prophetic.

They’re called Democrats. I can’t imagine how Rev Wright would answer this. But he seems to be one of those that Washington speaks of, at least with comments like these.

Wow. Wonder what the “Reverend” would label Mr. Washington? Nothing complimentary, I’m sure.
