Booker T Washington said it best, about 100 years ago:

“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.”

Al Sharpton, Jesse Jacks-nnnn, John Conyers, John Lewis, just a few of the people holding down the black race more than most.

That sounds about right so I bet he’s on the “Uncle Tom” list.
