When I was growing up Blacks used the epithet “Booker T!” like they did (and do?) “Uncle Tom” against other Blacks for “actin’ White.”

So true. Anyone who has not read Washington's autoboigraphy, Up From Slavery, needs to.

To many people sound off from ignorance--some here at Free Republic.

Much the same as they do now with Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams if they mention them at all.

The great tragedy of 20th Century America is that Black Americans chose to follow the direction of Dubois. Rights and entitlements enforced by the govt. Washington on the other hand tried to persuade his people to follow the directions of immigrant groups. Hard work, education small entrepreneurship. He accepted the Dubois understanding that immigrants were here by free choice and Blacks had bee slaves for 200 years and 3rd class citizens for 50 more, but he knew that self generated economic advancement would do more to bring about equality than political agitation. He never ever excused the unspeakable wrongs done to Blacks in America but he saw the situation not as how can we be compensated, but as we’re here. What do WE do now.

They were interviewing some blacks who summer in Oak Bluffs, Martha’s Vineyard. They called Michelle a Ghetto Girl.

Humility, empathy and introspection. Are 3 characteristics most people do not think of when they consider the Ibamas.

Thank you, I thought Jeannie DeAngelis did a great job writing it and I forgot to enter her name as author, my apologies to her.

Michelle got into Princeton the old fashioned way. Her brother was the star of the basketball team. How “White” is that?

It was so “we” and “they” or “us” and “them” oriented. You could just feel her hatred as she said each “they” and you knew she meant YOU — THE EVIL WHITE PERSON.

An American Hero

Sorry to repeat myself, but as others and I have suggested upstream, read Up From Slavery.

Maybe the students should have had a bit of background as well.

OK SUN hit the nail on the head. Booker T. My hero. His only requirement for entrance to his college was a TOOTHBRUSH. He always said that black people would have to learn how to gain respect... totally liked what I read in this book Up From Slavery. The Chapter on HONOR was fabulous
