Jesse Jackson revisionism (present day, interpretted by yours truly): "I have a SCHEME...that my children, illegitimate or otherwise, will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by content of their character (can I get an amen!) but by the color of their skin. Stay out da Bushes!"
Booker T. Washington (1911): "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. 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."

These unnamed persons wouldn't have earned the moniker - 'poverty pimps' now would they?
See this contraposition of Dr. Martin Luther King, the Rt. Rev. Jesse Jackson, and Booker T. Washington in post 39. Good comparison.
