Things I Remember
"Almost every Black person in America has had experiences dealing with racism. My experiences are not unique. In fact, there were many more than I'm relating here, but these are the ones that stand out in my mind.
"Things I Remember
"I've often been asked if I hate white people for what they did to me and other Black people. I dislike the individual people who've wronged me and I despise the racism and ignorance that spawned their behavior.
"Hating an entire group of people is a self-destructive waste of time."

He also said: "At some point I realized that I can't live my life down to the level of other people's ignorance."

Booker T. Washington said:
"There is another 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....There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not 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."
