"You know, they called us 'coons'—said we didn't have no sense.
You gonna wake up one morning, and a coon's gonna be the President."

QUOTE FROM A PRESCIENT WOLF
Thanks to my old friend Ray DiPalma for hipping me to this quote in which more than 35 years ago Holwin' Wolf predicted the first black President:
"You know, they called us 'coons'—said we didn't have no sense.
You gonna wake up one morning, and a coon's gonna be the President."
