Nixon Time

5. On the curious absence of Negro spies: (July 5, 1971)

So few of those who engage in espionage are Negroes. …As a matter of fact, very few of them become Communists. If they do, they either, like, they get into Angela Davis — they’re more of an activist type. And they throw bombs and this and that. But the Negroes, have you ever noticed? There are damned few Negro spies.

-Great moments with Mr. Nixon.
