“This so-called racist nation is the same one that gave Black Americans their own exclusive water fountains.”

Whew. Some of these sound a little too much like things that have actually been said, like:

“We gave them jobs, didn’t we?”

This is my fave:

Paul Gruber, Warehouse Manager “America is not a racist country, but a federation of racist states.”
