Booker T. Washington on Race Hustlers
The media is filled with misinformed and outright false stories intended to inflame passions and curry favor from useful idiots. As this goes on, an observation from Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) is quite timely:
“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. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well.” —Booker T. Washington
