They’re singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, ‘I tell you what: These doggone white people’—not a word!… Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues.”

Yeah, the whole problem was when they got the idea that they were owed the same rights he took for granted...entitlement, that's the problem! Man calls himself "white trash"; while I object to the term, that may be the one thing I'd let slide--he knows himself.
