The Democratic party still thinks of negroes in that fashion.
"What I ask for the Negro is not benevolence, not pity, not sympathy, but simply justice. The American people have always been anxious to know what they shall do with us…. I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are worm-eaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! … And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone! … Your interference is doing him positive injury."
-Frederick Douglass

You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day.[For those who don't know (including this schmuck and "Kramer") "Yom Hashoah" is a day when Jews remember those who were murdered by the Nazis.]You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day.

I’ll see your great quote and raise you one.
This is from Booker T. Washington
There is another class of coloured 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 do not want to lose their jobs.
Why thank you, sir! I’ve now posted that on the ol’ profile page.
Thanks PROCON.
