My previous comment: Your post sounds as though it came from one of the bloviators on conservative talk-radio: a broad concept made without naming names or offering any evidence, and which in itself plays the race card and the politics of division. Ah yes, it's from Booker T. Washington. You'll find it on just about
every right wing web site using a thimble to prove an ocean.
This about Booker Washington from African-American Perspective:
"The Progress of a People":
"For decades, Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) was the major
African-American spokesman in the eyes of white America....Although Washington
was an accommodator, he spoke out against lynchings and worked to make
"separate" facilities more "equal." Although he advised African-Americans to
abide by segregation codes, he often traveled in private railroad cars and
stayed in good hotels."
Google it if you want the site.
I guess where you stand depends on where you sit.

In reference to BB82's comment: There is Your post sounds as though it came from one of the bloviators on

I'll give you a name: Ken Mehlman, Republican Party chairman. He
apologized this year for his party's use of the "southern strategy" since
the Nixon era. His party, he says, was quilty of "trying to benefit
politically from racial polarization." The right has been winning
elections for thirty-some years using that card (e.g., the Willie Horton
ads).
If you try hard, you can probably find some anecdotal evidence that the
left has used mirrored versions of the race card, but before you start throwing
out accusations,... something like "pots calling kettles," and "people in glass
houses."
BTW: If you Google the quote above, you'll get only about 400 hits,
and only 4 from Google news when thousands of hits are typical at Google.
So much for the so-called "liberal media" mjd

There is a 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 the 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. And, 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. ------------------------ Yahoo!
