Poor Whites

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or whites:

to do is buy my leg back.
Surely it is for sale somewhere,
poor broken tool, poor ornament.
It might be in a store somewhere beside a lady’s scarf.”

“When we’re unemployed, we’re called lazy; when the whites are unemployed it’s called a depression.”
