Remember Bulworth?

Have you seen the motion picture Bulworth with Warren Beatty and Halle Berry? Beatty played a fictional Democratic Senator named Jay Bulworth. There was a scene in a Black church that goes like this:

BLACK LADY: Are you saying the Democratic Party don't care about the African American community?

BULWORTH: Isn't that obvious? What are you going to do? Vote Republican? C'mon C'mon. You're not going to vote Republican! Let's call a spade a spade..."

Rent or buy Bulworth.

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."
