If God had intended white people to dance with coloreds—

Now we've been friends, and we can go on being friends. But when it comes to black, white, and all the other wonderful thoughts you have in between—put a lid on that, Archie.
If they want to mix up the races, let 'em. But we're going to keep ours pure! No more of that cream into the coffee!
