“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”She is the new torch carrier of this type of "coloured person" now that Jessie and Al Sharpton are getting long in the tooth and Obama has decided to become a billionaire.
Though she has not yet achieved elected office (like Kamala and Spartacus Booker), the mantle is being passed to her.
And look how low the Dems have stooped as they hope to sustain the tiresome "I'm a victim" and "America is racist" lie. Candace Owens is out to change that. Candace is this generation's Martin Luther King, certainly not Stacey Abrams.
The ironic thing is the New York Leftists like Abrams because she hides her mean Commie agenda behind her outsized Southern frame.
Seems the Dems can't shake their worn out stereotypes: blackened face and Aunt Jemima. It's another form of Fake News: the media-manufactured Fake Person.
It's not gonna work because Stacey Abrams is not that laid-back, kind, and playful person that Hattie McDaniel played in Gone with the Wind and Shirley Temple's Little Colonel. Far from it.
Booker T. Washington was at least a century ahead of his time in identifying and critiquing the permanent grievance class among African-Americans and other other minorities. Hell, in this day and age, almost every American has now descended into victim status.
Washington’s contributions to the African-American community tend to be minimized today, because he favored economic development over political confrontation. But he understood that economic independence meant true freedom, a lesson that should be absorbed by all Americans.
He also did much to expand educational opportunities for blacks in the first generations after slavery. Washington established a network of wealthy donors who contributed millions for the establishment of Tuskegee Institute and other colleges for African-Americans in the south. Of course, he did that without any help from the political party (Democrats) that controlled the region, and terrorized blacks through their para-military arm, the KKK.
