They (the Negroes) will endure. They are better than we are. Stronger than
we are. Their vices are vices aped from white men or that white men and
bondage have taught them....And their virtues...endurance...and pity and
tolerance and fidelity and love of children.
-- William Faulkner (1897-1962) "The Bear" (1932)
