There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. 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 don’t want the patient to get well. - Booker T. Washington 1911

And it is not limited to blacks in America. Many white politicians want them kept on the plantaion so they can trot them out to vote periodically over their "grievances" and their "victimization." It is such an ugly thing to do to your fellow man.
