"That boy's got more sense than a runaway n****r."
Before anyone gets offended and starts pounding me with the PC stick, let me explain. When I was a young boy in the late 40s I was attending a funeral at our little country church.

I, my dad and a couple of other men went out to the wagon to chat with the old man. My dad was recounting a tale about something clever I had done; Louis Alec reared back in his wagon seat and gave a hearty guffaw and responded with the line above. I've never heard it since (and don't expect to). It obviously had common use with him and his people, and its origins were obvious and authentic, as the old man was either born a slave himself or was the son of slave parents.
