I don’t like negroes. They all give me a pain, and the more of them I see, the less and less I like them.

Who wrote that Joe

Flannery O’Connor

Some people might find that unkind

Possibly but she was just being honest

There is nothing wrong about being honest Flo

Do you agree with her views

Please give me an honest answer

I tend to agree with her it does pain me to see them in our country

It was not like this a hundred years ago

You hardly saw a negro if you saw any at all

The United Kingdom was predominantly white

It had been like that for generations

It was an invasion of kinds

There was no real reason for them to settle here

Do you think that you will ever accept them

I doubt it

I dislike mushrooms

I have never liked mushrooms

I cannot see this changing

What about you Flo

It was my question Joe
