Koch Blasts Sharpton In Rev's Own House
"The former mayor and current New York Press columnist spoke at the opening of Rev. Al Sharpton's annual National Action Network conference yesterday, and took the time to hit Sharpton for his role in the
Tawana Brawley fiasco and how it affected his career.
"'If you would have apologized for the Tawana Brawley hoax, you'd be a crossover leader,' he said. Sharpton did not react. More
here."
I agree with Koch.

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."
