Nigger

â€œPowerful and ugly and beautifulâ€¦a moving story of a man who deeply wants a world without malice and hate and is doing something about it.â€ â€”The New York Times

â€œGood evening, ladies and gentlemen. I understand there are a good many Southerners in the room tonight. I know the South very well. I spent twenty years there one nightâ€¦â€

â€œLast time I was down South I walked into this restaurant, and this white waitress came up to me and said: â€˜We don't serve colored people here.â€™

â€œI said: â€˜Thatâ€™s all right, I donâ€™t eat colored people. Bring me a whole fried chicken.â€™

â€œAbout that time these three cousins come in, you know the ones I mean, Klu, Kluck, and Klan, and they say: â€˜Boy, weâ€™re givinâ€™ you fair warninâ€™. Anything you do to that chicken, weâ€™re gonna do to you.â€™ About then the waitress brought me my chicken. â€˜Remember, boy, anything you do to that chicken, weâ€™re gonna do to you.â€™ So I put down my knife and fork, and I picked up that chicken, and I kissed it.â€
