Little House on the Prairie1974

Harriet Oleson:
Oh for Heaven's Sake, don't you know your Bible? It explicitly says: "Look not upon me because I am black."

Nels Oleson:
That's from the Song of Solomon, Harriet. It's supposed to be a love song, not hate propaganda. And the quotation goes on to say "I am black because the sun hath darkened me." And it also says "I am black, but beautiful."

Harriet Oleson:
And that only goes to prove that even the Devil can quote the scriptures.

Nels Oleson:
I know.

Nellie Oleson:
Mother says that colored people are that way because they bare the mark of Cain and so they are never going to get into Heaven. Is that right, Father?

Nels Oleson:
Of course not!

Harriet Oleson:
Hare dare you contradict me?

Nellie Oleson:
She also says that colored people don't have souls because they're not made in the image of God.

Nels Oleson:
Oh! Oh, have you actually seen God, Harriet?
