Booker T Washington..
THE NEGRO PROBLEM..
"He would not confine the Negro to industrial life, but believes that the very best service which any one can render to what is called the "higher
education" is to teach the present generation to work and save. This will create the wealth from which alone can come leisure and the opportunity for
higher education."
" - that all forms of labor are honorable, and all forms of idleness disgraceful."
- TO TEACH THE PRESENT GENERATION TO WORK AND SAVE...
If Booker T could see whats happened in the U.S since he died in 1915 and how a hundred years later a large section of the Afro American community is
in reverse and his ideals are not going forwards but backwards, he'd be crying.
This inner city ghetto based generation is wasted...There are those who strive to be, and become, better and the future of America is in their
hands.
And then there are those, who are a majority it would seem, who were born to be simply..well, nothing, and do not wish to rise above.
Work, save, and get a higher education. Better yourself. Better your community. Better your country.
Therein, and only there, lies the salvation of the U.S.
On a side note - as for this dead beat's mom...she's a halfbreed #wit. How in the name of sweet Jesus could you blame a man for shooting your son
whilst HE is holding a gun to a shop clerks head....It's long past time for the U.S.A's Afro American commnity to get their # together and sort this
trash out.
It's families like this that are destroying the pride and dignity and respect that Americas black community has fought so hard to gain in the last
century.
