[points at a Negro panelist]
To understand this man, you must know that historically there are two kinds of slaves. The House Negro and the Field Negro. The house Negro lived in the big house; he dressed pretty good; he ate pretty good and he loved the master. Yeah, he loved him more than the master loved himself. If the master's house caught fire, he'd be the first to put the blaze out. If the master got sick, he'd say: "What's a matter, boss; we sick?" We sick! If someone said to him, "Let's run away and escape. Let's separate." He'd say, "Man, are you crazy? What's better than what I got here?" That was the House Negro. In those days, he was called the House Nigger. Well, that's what we call them today because we still got a lot of House Niggers running around.
