Y’all Okay, so I learned that they celebrate Black History Month in East Texas.  They held it at a planation.

No, I’m not kidding.

I guess Dr Ben Carson was booked so they got the only other Black Republican they know – Allen West – to come speak.

The newspaper article says that West read Booker T Washington’s “Cast Down Your Bucket” speech, “a speech that became known as the Atlantic Compromise speech.”

I think they mean Atlanta Compromise, but West is the one with the Ph.D. so what do I know.  If you’re not familiar with the Atlanta Compromise it was the worst damn deal ever made.  It said blacks would not ask for the right to vote, they would not retaliate against racist behavior, they would tolerate segregation and discrimination, that they would receive free basic education, education would be limited to vocational or industrial training, liberal arts education would be prohibited.

Hold on, West said he picked that speech because “it’s about triumph of the individual spirit.”

Forehead, meet tabletop.

I accidentally deleted a mess of emails and then I forgot who sent me this story so whoever sent it remind me.
