Quote
  • “It's for sure a white man's world in America. Look here: I raised that boy since he was the size of a piss-ant. And I'll say right now, he never learned to read and write. No, sir. Had no brains at all. Was stuffed with rice pudding between th' ears. Shortchanged by the Lord, and dumb as a jackass. Look at him now! Yes, sir, all you've gotta be is white in America, to get whatever you want.”

    talking to other poor black seniors, watching Chance on TV

Ive been looking for this quote for years from the black maid, and its completely relevant in 2023 when talking of Trump Comnservatism and the plague of Trump that has enabled the crooks in government (Boris Johnson) to fleece the UK dry!
