Born in 1856, Booker T. Washington was an amazing black educator, orator, author, and adviser to U.S. presidents.

Isn't it interesting that black men and women in America way back then were achieving extraordinary success? Meanwhile, liberals and Democrats claim America is such a hellhole of racism that blacks need cradle-to-grave welfare, affirmative action, lowered standards and numerous other special concessions to survive. Why am I seemingly the only black person on the planet highly offended by the Left's bigotry of lowered expectations? Actually, I know other blacks who share my frustration with blacks who think liberals and Democrats are their friends.

Booker T. Washington so succinctly and perfectly described black race profiteers, I am convinced he personally knew Al Sharpton. Thus, Sharpton must have a portrait of himself in his attic like Dorian Gray. The portrait collects Sharpton's plethora of sins and keeps his appearance from reflecting his true age. I suspect this despicable race hustling conman has been peddling crap/hate for a very, very long time.

Washington really nailed Sharpton and the Black Lives (Lies) Matter movement in his following quote.

“There is another 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 they 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.” 

Can you believe Washington said that back in the late 1800s? Black “losers” (a little Trump lingo) were exploiting race and looking for a free ride. As the saying goes, there is nothing new under the sun.

So, here we go again. To commemorate the one-year anniversary of the death of black thug Michael Brown, Black Lives Matter thugs trashed Ferguson again. Liberals still advise government to walk on eggshells to appease the BLM terrorists.

Michael Brown robbed and assaulted the clerk of a convenience store. He died attacking a police officer. Period. End of story. Why in the name of all that is righteous would intelligent people, black and white, reward this thug with civil rights hero status? How offensive is that? What a slap in the face to the legacies of real civil rights icons?

Black Lives Matter thugs are allowed to roam the country wreaking havoc. At a major speaking event, liberal Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders allowed BLM thugs to storm the stage, take his microphone and run him off his own stage. How wimpy is that? 

Democrat presidential contender Martin O'Malley also allowed BLM thugs to hijack his event. O'Malley wimped out and pandered to the rude thugs. O'Malley's attempt at appeasement emboldened the thugs to demand that he apologize for daring to say “white lives and all lives matter.” O'Malley complied. 

Sanders and O'Malley displayed typical Democratic Party weakness and politically correct liberal thinking. Liberals believe that because blacks were slaves in America, whites must be careful not to offend and have no moral authority to ever tell blacks no.

These two Democrats immediately waving the white flag of surrender to BLM perfectly illustrates why Democrats must never be in-charge of our national defense.

Black Lives Matter thugs are bullying everyone because they can. These evil hate-filled race profiteers ignored the facts in every incident in which a black is killed. The movement is a scam. BLM is really about gaining political power. It is not about resolving issues or racial unity. Nor do they want as Washington brilliantly stated, “the Negro to lose his grievances...”

The insidiously evil movement is unworthy of respect from the American people. Pandering to BLM is a huge mistake; emboldening them to behave more outrageously and make more absurd demands. 

• In Boston, BLM banned whites from a public forum. 
• At a Chicago suburb white high school students were barred from attending a Black Lives Matter event. 
• BLM leaders say they will “shut down” the Republican National Convention. 
• In Denver, BLM bullies say screw history, we want the name of the city's Stapleton neighborhood changed. 
• BLM thugs began digging up a confederate general's grave. .
• BLM launched a campaign to deface civil war monuments across America. 
• BLM thugs are burning American and confederate flags. 
• BLM has intimidated numerous major corporations. Cowering in fear, major store chains have stopped selling confederate flags. 

What continues to boggle my mind is, why do liberal activists always fight for symbolic changes which do not impact blacks' lives in any way? And yet, not only do liberals ignore, they verbally beat up anyone who dares to address real issues plaguing the black community. What is up with that?

Bottom line, America needs to stop pandering to Black Lives Matter haters and race profiteers. Tell these terrorists no. Tell them to shut up and go away. If not, the infectious BLM disease will continue to grow and spread, nurturing racial hate, pounding on its chest and poisoning our great land.
