And since we are on the topic of race relations anyway, can anybody guess who said “I don’t trust the kind of whites who love having Negroes always hanging around them”?
No Googling!

Would that be Malcolm X, since he’s fresh on your mind? Or MLK perhaps?

Shit, I can’t sneak anything past my very brilliant readers. Yes, it’s Malcolm X.

But that’s a bit like saying, “I’m not so much into male feminists who likes them bitches.”

To be fair, the word “always” would give me a pause even now and cause suspicion. If somebody “loves having Negroes always hanging around them,” it implies the person doesn’t “love” them in a way unconnected to color of their skin. Not the healthy “I don’t care about color, s/he is a nice person,” but some kind of unpleasant exoticizing.

My guess would have been Dick Gregory, but apparently I’d have been wrong. I also assumed “hanging around” was a reference to lynching.
