“There is another class of coloured 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.”

Booker T. Washington

The emphasis on this little discussion is or must be on the qualification “some”

Tarring with a very big brush is of course not justified
