It’s not about solving their problems,
it’s about someone telling them “it’s not your fault”
instead of “get off your ass and work”.
"I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't 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." - Booker T. Washington
