“Back when I was young, if you took a package or something over to a white person’s house, you always had to be sure to go to the back door. If you forgot and went to the front door, you were liable to get hit – and by white people you had known all your life. "

"I want you to look down there and tell me what you see," said Lippy with a devilish smile, pointing down below the car radio. "Go on. Check it out."
