"Ag, man, he's just trying to put me off my stride for tonight, you see, Joe Louis is a black man. He's not like our kaffirs. Black, yes, but not stupid and dirty and ignorant. He is what you call a Negro. That's different, man. He's sort of a white man with a black skin. But that big gorilla is too stupid to know the difference. 

It were all very complicated, beautiful ladies with skin like honey who were not as good as us and black men who was white men underneath and as good as us.   (Courtenay, 96-97)
