HOLLOWAY: People kill me talking about niggers is lazy. Niggers is the most hard-working people in the world. Worked three hundred years for free. And didn’t take no lunch hour. Now all of a sudden niggers is lazy. Don’t know how to work. All of a sudden when they got to pay niggers, ain’t no work for him to do. If it wasn’t for you the white man would be poor. Every little bit he got he got standing on top of you. That’s why he could reach so high. He give you three dollars a day for six months and he got him a railroad for the next hundred years. All you got is six months’ worth of three dollars a day.

Now you can’t even get that. Ain’t no money in niggers working. Look out there on the street. If there was some money in it . . .  if the white man could figure out a way to make some money by putting niggers to work . . .  we’d all be working. He ain’t building no more railroads. He got them. He ain’t building no more highways. Somebody done already stuck the telephone poles in the ground. That’s been done already. The white man ain’t stacking no more niggers. You know what I’m talking about, stacking niggers, don’t you? Well, here’s how that go. If you ain’t got nothing . . .  you can go out here and get you a nigger. Then you got something, see. You got one nigger. If that one nigger get out there and plant something . . .  get something out the ground . . .  even if it ain’t nothing but a bushel of potatoes . . .  then you got one nigger and one bushel of potatoes. Then you take that bushel of potatoes and go get you another nigger. Then you got two niggers. Put them to work and you got two niggers and two bushels of potatoes. See, now you can go buy two more niggers. That’s how you stack a nigger on top of a nigger. White folks got to stacking . . .  and I’m talking about they stacked up some niggers! Stacked up close to fifty million niggers. If you stacked them on top of one another they make six or seven circles around the moon. It’s lucky the boat didn’t sink with all them niggers they had stacked up there. It take them two extra months to get here cause it ride so low in the water. They couldn’t find you enough work back then. Now that they got to pay you they can’t find you none. If this was different time wouldn’t be nobody out there on the street. They’d all be in the cotton fields.
