There is money to be made keeping blacks pissed off. Apparently it is economical as well, due to them being generally easy to rile. Now they have a federal holiday to remind us every year about slavery.
Correct. Booker T. Washington called it over a century ago.
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. 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.- Booker T. Washington
