Colored Children

Famous quotes containing the words colored and/or children:

to go to the colored rest room;
my daughter’s brown, and folks frown on that in Texas,
I just don’t know how to go to the bathroom in the free world!”

“The children despise their parents until the age of 40, when they suddenly become just like them—thus preserving the system.”
