yup, but one must note the grifter class ended up much better off.

may i suggest to anyone who hasn’t read “ Up From Slavery “ by Booker T. Washington, read it.

he was born a slave. finished up after being a major driving force to establish Tuskegee University.

the same arguments made now were made over 150 years ago. Mr. Washington dissected them then. and that’s why he’s never mentioned now.

i come from a similar outlook, initially. but now, frankly my dear i don’t give a damn.

Thanks for reminding me to pick up Booker T — I heard he was an exceptional dude
