The American people have always been anxious to know what they shall do with us. Gen. Banks was distressed with solicitude as to what he should do with the Negro. Everybody has asked the question, and they learned to ask it early of the abolitionists, What shall we do with the Negro? I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are worm eaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by natures plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone! If you see him on his way to school, let him alone, dont disturb him! If you see him going to the dinner table at a hotel, let him go! If you see him going to the ballot box, let him alone, dont disturb him! If you see him going into a work-shop, just let him alone, your interference is doing him a positive injury. Frederick Douglass I agree with Mr. Washington and Mr. Douglass and Herman is a fine example of the kind of man they were talking about.

Exactly.
For those who subscribe wholeheartedly to this thinking, it really goes for nothing worthwhile except if it's their bread and butter.
If the (so-called) "African-American" birthright is so precious, why are they treating that birthright like Esau did his? Esau sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of stew (Genesis 25:29-34).
Is this not what most of us did when they voted for a man who isn't even one of us?
Yeah, the birthright is so precious. But look, I'm hungry so I'll sell it to you for a cheeseburger from Mickey-D's. All of our history and American heritage for a burger.
SPIT!
Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.
Do it!
Great post. Thanks.
