Immigrants straight off the boat who don't speak English thrive here, but those with distant ancestors who were brought here as chattel still need affirmative action? Huh?

Allow me to translate - I speak leftist jive: “Get Whitey.”

This 100-year-old, cobbled-together quote from the “the Great Accommodator” Booker T. Washington has gotten quite a bit of circulation in the right-wing blogosphere since the Tea Party came under attack over racial issues.

What's a "cobbled-together quote?"

Is it anything like a "cobbled-together column?" Or a "cobbled-together career as an affirmative action columnist for the New York Times?"

Did Mr. Washington make this statement, or did he not?

Does discrimination against blacks occur? Sure -- and it's against the law.
Have people been prosecuted for it? Yup.

Does discrimination against whites occur? Sure.
Have people been prosecuted for it? No, the Attorney General of the United States told his folks not to prosecute those cases.

Booker T. Washington would wipe the floor with Charlie Blow intellectually. Nice that Blow attempts to throw BTW under the bus to plead his case.

Booker T. Washington

Btw, since the 'black intellect' WEB DuBois' approach, agitation and protest, won over BTW's pragmatic solution in the late 1800's(!), how did that work out for Blacks again?

Blow doesn’t like the Washingto quote because it describes him to a tee. (by the way, I first saw that quote here on FR over 10 years ago.)

[surely_you_jest]

Not much of a Blow Job, if you ask me ....

[The Toll]

Sorry. No more talk until the crime rate comes down.

No, let's not rescue it. Let's kill it instead.
