You aren't qualified nor do you have the credentials or intelligence to judge anyone's education. Your arrogance in assuming you do is pretentious to say the least!
Ok, let's get another opinion. Here is your link.

The black awareness foundation.New Sell-outs Of The Black Race â Booker T. Washington Syndrome
Posted on April 2, 2016
To the social world, the B.A.F. salutes you and thanks you for joining us. This topic is not popular and itâs a hard look at something that has plagued our race since the beginning of our existence, as with every other race. Sell-outs, uncle Toms and self-race hatred. I call it the Booker T. Washington syndrome because Washington, to me and many other African American historians, he represented the accommodationalism of our race. His approach and ideological movement was so popular that the decades from 1895 to 1915 were referred to as âthe age of Booker T. Washingtonâ. The era of compromise and the first black leader controlled by white influence. Some suggest Washington and his college of learned trade over powered academic development. The forces that nurtured Washington were the same forces that enslaved us and kept us as workers over an academic equal. The platform he stood on was to convince his fellow black men/women to train in industrial education rather than a liberal one. He focused on farm and in practical workshops rather than classrooms. When Washington assumed the responsibility to establish this mindset at Alabamaâs Tuskegee University for his part in spreading this very message from his mentor General Samuel Armstrong, whom after the Civil War, took to designing institutions to train blacks in this practical education. He founded Hampton under this disguise. He became the first nationwide propped up ânegroâ. Do not underestimate his fame nor his influence over less educated blacks. His method fed you for the day, but you had to come back the next day. True education frees you for the future.
So, Washington became a national celebrity. He was solicited by statesmen/politicians and philanthropists as the answer to pacify the masses of African Americans in this fragile transition from slaves to freed men/women. He became the âfaceâ of the sell-out black man. Although, sell-outs and Uncle Toms existed long before Washington came along. For an extra crust of bread, the so called privilege to work in doors instead of the field made many of Uncle Tom blacks. But, selling out is not based only among blacks/Africans. It is a fact in every race, itâs just that natural haters have always been (see Benedict Arnold). But, Washington took it to new levels and has since gone down in time, at least to blacks, as the ultimate Uncle Tom sell-out negro.
That has followed us to today and has manifested in all forms, such as what everyoneâs been screaming for 15 years, âhatersâ. This new rage of self-hatred comes from a lack of understanding of self (self, family and ancestry). Itâs jealousy for not having the self-discipline and drive to demand better for oneâs self. âSnitchesâ, whew, how damaging has this been for our race in just your lifetime (and that ainât over yet)? This word is on the lips of pop culture. To devalue the freedom of oneâs brother/sister for the sake of profit or favor, and more than that, the cultures willingness to accept this as ânormalâ has dismantled the trust level, hard in recent decades. But, the one that cuts more deeply on a level, as we are all, is âself-hatredâ. âYoâ, yaâll got me back on my grizzly back when my thought was that the sword was mightier than the pen. This type of shit Stacey Dash is on cuts deep. To sacrifice a connection and bond with any of your own family or friends. To chase the acceptance of a race whom seeked to brand you as cattle and greatly caused a magnitude of brutal suffering. To love and want to point you to use mainstream media and her past fame and looks to use that to platform derogatory remarks on a billion dollar company, B.E.T. To belittle Black History Month. That pierces my soul. A past sacrifice died for her right. Her choice the reject her own flesh is her right also. But, like O.J. Simpson, Michael Jackson, Tiger Woods and the culture youâre running to can only have falsehood. You are bound to be exposed negatively as you, to them, are a disposable possession. You have to come back to the blood of your bone. When âWEâ turn our backs on you, when they use and embarrass you like the before mentioned, whom now ALL know to them, youâre still a nigga. Where will you turn? Never let money, fame or any promise of âbettermentâ make you sell-out your race, your birth.
So, the B.A.F. will now post what will be an annual topic revisited, to keep yaâll up.
The new Uncle Toms
The branches of the father of selling out â Booker T. Washington
1) Stacey Dash â bio of the b/s. Well documented, her arrogance comes from the mass attention she has received from her amazing God given beauty. Her goal is to be as accepted in the world she truly loves, white pop culture America. As her looks and small skills fade, her rhetoric becomes more desperate. She lets Fox News publicly sell-out her race for what? A guest spot on a news show? Her cousin, Dame Dash, in an interview said âThatâs Stacey. She has always felt that wayâ. She most definitely gets the title of âNew Uncle Tomsâ.
2) Clarence Thomas (STILL!) â Supreme Court Justice is still at it. His new sell-out move was to help dismantle a key provision of the Voting Rights Act, one of the pillars of the Civil Rights Movement and has been quoted as saying âIf I had my way, Iâd bury Affirmative Actionâ. He is an enemy of African Americans with true power, but couldnât walk in any black community.
3) Ben Carson â Republican formal presidential candidate. His latest sell-out move was to endorse Donald Trump. He is nothing more than a stop gap for Republicans. A safety net in case the new voting laws, meant to handicap minorities from effectively vote, but if the masses want a black man elected, they had one! He said, regarding if Trayvion Martinâs murder was racial profiling, âI donât think it isâ.
4) Herman Cain â a tea party activist. The tea party represents the most dangerous versions of Republicans. Think Sarah Palin, and supporters of Reagan. These are the portion of whites whom wish minorities were nothing but submissive servitude. He was the 2012 Republican presidential candidate to oppose Obama. He is quoted as saying âI donât believe racism in this country today holds anyone back in a big wayâ.
5) Bill Cosby â a special sell-out shout out! But, you know youâre black again. This is your lasting legacy, a SELL-OUT!
6) Don Lemon â new face of media Uncle Tomism going on now in pop culture. He is a CNN news anchor. On November 5, 2013, speaking on the Tom Joyner Show, he said âThe police are not always respectful when they make stops, but to tamper with the formula that has reduced crime in New York would be dangerousâ. On the acquittal of George Zimmerman, he blamed young black males dress (hoody), as well as other things black males wear to be stylish.
These sell-outs must not go unchallenged and as long as they work out to undo what millions have died for, I will work diligently to show them as they are, weak in character, lost and confused. I will hold up that mirror. These are folks that would have sold out Harriet Tubman and made Rosa Parks get up. Thatâs the people they are.
A famous quote by writer Dorothy L. Sayers says âTo make a deliberate falsification for personal gain is the last, worst depth to which either scholar or artist can descend in work or lifeâ.
Keeping yaâll on the real â KJS
