If White folks were enslaving Black folks today, it would qualify to be a tragedy.

Quote from Booker T. Washington

"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."

Surely such "Professional Negroes," people who make their money by being Black, do not exist today, right?

Every Black person who was lynched years ago was probably called a "nigger."

That Pesky N-Word Again

How is it that Black people hate for Whites to say the word "nigger," but do not mind that Whites are entertained by that word in the latest rap songs.

"Y'all can listen to us say it and play it for your White friends, but y'all can't say it. Let us entertain y'all."
