More From Eleanor Porter

I do remember, one time, a man came to me after the students began to work in mississippi and he said the white people were getting tired and they were getting tense and anything might happen. well, i asked him "how long he thinks we had been getting tired"? i have been tired for 46 years and my parents was tired before me and their parents were tired, and i have always wanted to do something that would help some of the things i would see going on among negroes that i didn't like and i don't like now.
Tired Men Thinking
People have said over the years that the reason i did not give up my seat was because i was tired. i did not think of being physically tired. my feet were not hurting. i was tired in a different way. i was tired of seeing so many men treated as boys and not called by their proper names or titles. i was tired of seeing children and women mistreated and disrespected because of the color of their skin. i was tired of jim crow laws, of legally enforced racial segregation.

One of the things obama's been doing is deliberately trying to increase the percentage of our population that is dependent on government for their living. for example, do you know what was the second-biggest demographic group that voted for obama? . . . unmarried women. seventy percent of unmarried women voted for obama. and this is because, when you kick your husband out, you've got to have big brother government to be your provider. . . .

You can't have anything valuable in your house. niggers will break in and take it all! everything white people don't like about black people, black people don't like about black people. it's like our own personal civil war. on one side, there's black people. on the other, you've got niggers. the niggers have got to go. i love black people, but i hate niggers. i am tired of niggers. tired, tired, tired.

I'm very glad my mother didn't let me quit piano lessons at age 10. she said i wasn't old enough or good enough to make that decision, and she was right. i remember at the time i was shocked. i did not like that my mother said those things to me. but when i got a chance to play with yo-yo ma or more recently with aretha franklin, i thought, i'm really glad she said what she did.
Success Mother Play
Before i ran for district attorney, two republicans invited my husband and me to lunch. and i knew a party-switch was exactly what they wanted. so, i told chuck, we'll be polite, enjoy a free lunch and then say goodbye. but we talked about issues - they never used the words republican, or democrat, conservative or liberal. we talked about many issues, like welfare - is it a way of life, or a hand-up? talked about the size of government - how much should it tax families and small businesses? and when we left that lunch, we got in the car and i looked over at chuck and said, "i'll be damned, we're republicans."

I do not say goodbye. i believe that's one of the bullshitiest words ever invented. it's not like you're given the choice to say bad-bye, or awful-bye, or couldn't-care-less-about-you-bye. everytime you leave, it's supposed to be a good one.
