Did someone say Booker T. Washington?!

"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 1911

Thanks for posting that quote. The man expressed the most profound insights with such amazing simplicity, that some "sophisti-cats" sought to portray him as simple-minded. As far as they were concerned, deep thoughts required indecipherable sentences.

You're quite welcome :o)

The most difficult of concepts can be understood with the most simple of explanations. Booker T did just that...again and again.
