Kenneth Timmerman on CNN

"Well, to be frank with you, I have no expectation that a mainstream publishing house in New York would publish a expose on Jesse Jackson. The last investigative book at Jesse Jackson was written in 1975 by a terrific black journalist, Barbara Reynolds. And I interviewed her extensively for this book, great book. She was virtually railroaded out of Chicago by Jesse Jackson and his friends. Her book was never picked up. It was actually a terrific work or journalism. And the mainstream press in New York does not want to do this kind of book. Regnery has got, by the way, a terrific track record and they're a great publisher and I'm very happy to be with them."

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."
