I want my beautiful, intelligent, teen-age white daughter to marry an ugly, foul-smelling gorilla like this --- preferably somebody with the pure ideals and the unimpeachable moral character of a Joe Louis, a Floyd Patterson or a Sonny Liston. You wait and see --- John F. Kennedy is going to marry his daughter off to a big, black ape, just like Earl Warren did! - Metadata URL:
