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.

As tired as that behavior is, what really baffles me is that the strongest support and activism for the BLM farce seems to be among young, white women. Mostly fat young white women.

Sounds familiar. Frederick Douglass quote?

Booker T. Washington was a wise man. America would be a much better place if former slaves and abolitionists had paid more attention to him and less to the likes of WEB DuBois.
