"What do you Negroes want now?" he asked me. "You all aren't doing too bad. As a matter of fact, you're doing a lot better than some of the white people." My God, what do we want? What does any human being want? Take away an accident of pigmentation of a thin layer of our outer skin and there is no difference between me and anyone else. All we want is for that trivial difference to make no difference. What can I say to a man who asks that?
