Within Our Gates1920

Old Ned:
[Old Ned visits his white friends] Y'all knows what I always preach. This is a land for the white man and black folk got ta know their place. Let the white man go to Hell with his politics, wealth, and sins. Give me Jesus! Leave it to me, gen'men, I always preach that the vices and sins of the white folk will end them up in Hell. When the Judgement Day comes, more Negroes than whites will rise up to Heaven. Yessir, white folks is mighty fine! [he leaves the room] [now outside, speaking to himself] Again, I've sold my birthright. All for a miserable 'mess of pottage. Negroes and whites - all are equal. As for me, miserable sinner, Hell is my destiny.
