5. Jean Guerrero:

   Hell, I was on the Jay Leno Show about the book, and the LA Times couldn't care less, by any standards, I'm a success story, come from the inner city … I defy anybody to follow my father's past: eighth grade drop out, buying a house that cost $600,000 by working two jobs. You could never do it. They don't care about that, but they care about calling me a sellout, and Uncle Tom, and Jean Guerrero and the LA Times should be ashamed of themselves.
