Powerful and ugly and beautifula moving story of a man who deeply wants a world without malice and hate and is doing something about it. The New York Times Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I understand there are a good many Southerners in the room tonight. I know the South very well. I spent twenty years there one night Last time I was down South I walked into this restaurant and this white waitress came up to me and said: We dont serve colored people here. I said: Thats all right I dont eat colored people. Bring me a whole fried chicken. About that time these three cousins come in you know the ones I mean Klu Kluck and Klan and they say: Boy were givin you fair warnin. Anything you do to that chicken were gonna do to you. About then the waitress brought me my chicken. Remember boy anything you do to that chicken were gonna do to you. So I put down my knife and fork and I picked up that chicken and I kissed it.
