Hah! They haven’t thought of it yet I’m sure or ol’ Joe will surely come up with it if they don’t bury him in a hurry.
There is another 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…
There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.

But there are still ‘people’ who are not sunk, who have courage and will survive whether the country does or not. Jesse is one of them IMHO.......
Great and timely quote. Love Booker T. Thanks.
I’m hearing LaToya is going to hire OJ to find the killers.
Not yet. The obituary of our country has been written every 20 years. This country was founded by God and we are simply in another faze of growing pains.
Yes, I think the one who wanted him dead the most is Michael Jackson
From your lips to Gods ears.
Jesse is right on with this piece!!
