“It should be our highest ambition to make [ourselves], first of all a property-holding, industrious, intelligent, virtuous citizen, and a Republican or Democrat afterward.” -Booker T. Washington
Black leftists talking about class solidarity over race hoping the Marxist crowd will give them a pat on the head.

Every election the left is presented with the world's easiest trolley problem, and every time they smirk and go "the trolley shouldn't exist" and then walk away.
"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

Jesus.
This is the problem with the internet.
Folks lack the subject matter expertise to have a nuanced understanding of these topics, but they can Google something that confirms their existing bias.
There was *nothing* conservative about Booker T. Washington in 1881.

Again: Booker T. Washington encouraged y'all to be self-sufficient, self-reliant, own your own institutions and y'all convinced yourselves that your liberal arts degree, financed at $100k through student loans from an open enrollment state school made you the "Talented Tenth."

Again, wholly (and, apparently, blissfully) ignorant of the breadth of the Wizard of Tuskegee's life and work.
DuBois really convinced you half-wits that you were the Talented Tenth and you ran with it.

We are not going to blame Black People for Abdul El-Sayed’s incompetence and lackadaisical campaigning; it is his job to connect with Black voters across the state after his primary win to build a coalition to defeat Mike Rogers.
Trump: "I met the owner of the restaurant. He said, 'Mr. President, I'd like to kiss you.' He's a very powerful man. I don't want this guy kissing me, but he's a powerful, influential man.
He said, 'Sir, I want to kiss you.' I said, 'Why?'
He said, 'Sir, I really want to kiss you.'
So I said, 'No, thank you.'"
This is the representation you get when you make a conflict 7,000 miles away your most important issue.
The DuBois who said “Many...thought that industrial training was meant to make the Negro work, much as he worked during the days of slavery. This is far from my idea of it, but how to make the forces of nature—air, water, horsepower, steam, and electric power—work for him?"

Booker T. Washington encouraged you to learn a skill, buy land, open a business, and build community ownership, and y'all got offended, because he said maybe you didn't need to study Greek and Latin when you live in a one-room shack with no windows and dirt floors.

I'm for capitalism, because I'm for Black ownership. For Black institutions. For Black autonomy and freedom.
Socialism and communism will subjugate Black culture to the majority and to the whole of the State entirely.
But, maybe that's what some of you want.
