"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.
Booker T., A great American and a credit to his race.
