CHAPTER XVI
3/19

Mebby, when the crazy fit has passed, some white woman is worse off than if she was dead, or mebby she IS dead, or mebby a loonatic fur life, and that nigger is a candidate fur a lynching bee and ginerally elected by an anonymous majority.
Not that ALL niggers is that-a-way, nor HALF of 'em, nor very MANY of 'em, even--but you can never tell WHICH nigger is going to be.

So in the black belt the white folks is mighty pertic'ler who comes along fooling with their niggers.

Fur you can never tell what turn a nigger's thoughts will take, once anything at all stirs 'em up.
We didn't know them things then, Doctor Kirby and me didn't.

Which I disremember exactly how that nigger question is worded, but they is always asting it in the South, and answering of it different ways.
