This is why Booker T Washington said that learning a skill would be the best thing for most recently freed slaves and then with each generation there would be more success. He also said I know we aren’t equal but we can be and it will take time and hard work. He also talked about race grifters in his day. Sucks that he is seen in a bad light by modern day black academics
Ah, that sort of makes sense.
Reminds me of the comment by Mary Chestnut talking about similarly messed up dynamics: "Ours is a terrible system."
