"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."


~ Booker T. Washington




Oh, Booker, if you could just see them now, old son.

Until Don Lemon. During “No Talking Points, Lemon said he agreed with O’Reilly and, in fact, felt he didn’t go far enough in his criticism.

Lemon stated that he has talked about this in the past and now has five things that can be done to help the community (let’s do this in reverse order:

    5. Pull up your pants;

    4. Stop using the “N word”;

    3. Respect where you live (this includes not littering. Don said while living in white communities, he rarely saw it but living in Harlem now, he sees it all the time);

    2. Finish high school and;

    1. Stop having children out of wedlock.

Floundering in the darkness, swinging at anyone who tries to help.
The best thing to do in these kinds of situations is back off...

Any attempt to help will just make you a prime target as the cause of their suffering.

Still, kind of funny that Sharpton, who professes to want to help blacks escape the ghetto...
is helping to support the same culture that keeps them tethered to poverty.
