"Most are not impressed with first black this/that. We already know that some of those FIRSTS will turn on and do a number on their own at first opportunity. We, at times, get suspicious and nervous of fellow blacks placed in positions historically used to further oppress, torment and abuse us. Historically, we're aware those abuses and torments have too often remained the same or worsen when one of our own have been placed in charge. So there's no consolation there, either. Far too many from within have exploited the problems and issues of our people for their own selfish gains and to guarantee a place for themselves at the table."

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."
