"That a white man OUGHT to hobnob with a Negro because otherwise he would not be Christian or unselfish involves a flagrant assumption of superiority. The Negro, if he is not a fool, loves his own inspiration and expands in the society of his own people. Vital liberty differentiates. Only vacant freedom leaves all in the same anonymous crowd." -- George Santayana, 'Dominations and Powers'
