There's a group of professional rabble rousers who have gained fame, notoriety, and an enormous amount of money traveling around the Country from crisis to crisis stirring up trouble, for their own profit. These people have been applauded by politicians and the press, but they haven't solved ANY problems, they haven't made race relations better, only worse, and have continued to divide us. Of course these people are Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Ferrakhan, among others.
Your thoughts reflect what a very wise man said some 100 years ago....
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.
I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.
