"So this is the first time she felt patriotic? The first time she felt love for her country?" to which I answered "how the hell do I know", to which you replied "Cuz she said so?" Another thin reed, I suppose. Pretty soon, we'll have enough to build a raft.

Funny. I thought she was an American.

Funny. Americans were eating at the lunch counter while other Americans had to go around back of the restaurant to get their food through a window. Yeah, they were all Americans, but some of them weren't too happy about that. Well, things have gotten a whole lot better for blacks in America; they don't have to go around back anymore. But change didn't happen overnight, and some racial tensions still linger below the surface.
