Text

Start: There you have it! “They white,” with those two words he can dismiss our wants, our desires, even our simplest pleasures.

[... ...]

End: Can hear the television in the Friedlanders’ apartment. We sit and listen to all the white laughter. Seems to us only white folks can laugh on Sundays.
