Richard Wright Quote
Humnnn, he grunted, then laughed. A dog bite can’t hurt a nigger. It’s swelling and it hurts, I said. If it bothers you, let me know, he said. But I never saw a dog yet that could really hurt a nigger. He turned and walked away and the black boys gathered to watch his tall form disappear down the aisles of wet bricks. Sonofabitch! He’ll get his someday! Boy, their hearts are hard! Lawd, a white man’ll do anything!
