"i remember back to my high school days i was never 'in' with the black girls from the hood. and for a while i desperately wanted to be. i was never 'black enough'. and it didn't help that i wasn't eating chitterlings and greens all the time. but they'd be talking about how they had greens and hogmaws for dinner and i couldn't relate. but then i'd visit relatives who had cooked that type of food and i'd make sure the other black girls knew that i had had som. in retrospect, they were the ones who were overweight, and i wasn't."

Booker T. Washington said:
"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....There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not 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."
