Guess Who Said This

Every day the The Patriot Post sends an email that contains current events, quotations and related historical information. The Patriot Post identifies itself as a journal advocating individual liberty, and the restoration of constitutional limits on government. These publishers represent a renewed Federalist movement. Today there was this little item labelled "Insight"...

“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. 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.”

Now, who do you think made those comments? Rush Limbaugh? Thomas Sowell? No, it was Booker T. Washington. The famous black scientist-educator passed away over 90 years ago, the players have changed but the premise is indellible.
