As long as there is money to be made by creating racism where none exists, this crap will continue to happen. As Booker T Washington basically said, race hustlers “don’t want the patient to get well.”

Money to be made, or VOTES to be garnered....

Booker T. got it right, absolutely. Not to mention that Frederick Douglass did too.

The main racists these days appear to be the "race hustlers," like the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton, who evidently do not believe that Black persons can function successfully in our society without a whole lot of help/tax subsidies from "Whitey."

Against all evidence. American Blacks who have divested themselves of "the Plantation Mentality" (so assiduously cultivated by the Left) do very well here, indeed.

I have much more faith in the ability of Black Americans to succeed in living a free and prosperous life than these two creeps do.

The fact that these two hold themselves out as Christians is especially galling to me.

p.s.: In order to avoid misunderstanding, by "these two" I did not mean to signify either Booker T. Washington or Frederick Douglass — the latter of whom I regard particularly as a man of towering genius. I was pointing my finger at Jackson and Sharpton, and all their enablers and codependents.

Just wanted to be clear about that.

If there is no racism, how can they pay their bills and live by the standard they've come to enjoy? There's a serious conflict of interest at work here. I predict it will not end until those who benefit materially from the misery of others find another source of income.

Thank you for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
