Jackie & Me Quotes

“thought.”
― Dan Gutman, Jackie & Me

“Son,” he said, lowering his voice, “I got nothin’ against Robinson or any of you Negroes. Ya gotta understand, though. I come from Alabama. And where I come from, a pig and a chicken don’t live in the same pen. They’d kill each other. Ya keep everything separate and everyone’s happy. That’s just the way nature works. That’s the way it’s always been. That’s the way it should be. Same thing with white folks and you Negroes. It’s nothin’ personal, mind you.”
