White House: I appreciate your dropping by, Mr. Pierce. I welcome the opportunity to clear the air with some of you leaders from the black community....as you know, I recently sent Congress a bill that will prohibit tax exemptions for segregated institutions. I did so because every fiber of my body is unalterably opposed to racist discrimination! I am not a racist, Mr. Pierce. I hope you will take this message back to your group. Group? What group? Mr. President, I'm your secretary of housing. Oh...right. Forgive me, it's been a while... exactly so, sir.
