Hold back? You are talking about going to protests...

You are such a moron. This guy tried hard as fuck to make change... you fucked it up. And you continually fuck it up with posts like this about attending protests for attention.

You are a fucking stooge. A low life, piece of shit.

He was right. He was damn fucking right. At least about you.
to provide a bit of context, Booker T Washington public beliefs and influence weren't exactly 100% positive for Black peeps in the US. For example, he advocated that peeps work within the punitive Jim Crow system rather than strive to change it (although to be fair in private his beliefs were more progressive)

The point is, a lot of what he said and wrote publicly is pretty problematic (and in some cases contrary to what he actually thought). His approach was also tied to a specific belief system regarding the connection between class and morality that today is still part of the problem.
