I applaud this man.
It is an uphill battle. As Booker T. Washington once said:
"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."
That was true then, and 110 years later, is still just as true.
Corey Brooks is the real deal, $harpton has been working his “holy man” grift since he was 10.
I am kind of unhappy about the article. Big front page picture of Al, but you have to search for a picture of Corey Brooks or more information on him and his ministry.
“ It’s easy to say, ‘the white man, the white man’ when in reality we need to take a closer look at ourselves. … And you have to take responsibility.”
^This. Shout it from the rooftops.
Prayers for Pastor Brooks safety.
I am thinking of donating money to him. Anyone got info on his church? He’s doing a great job...
