If Williams was a bigot he would have looked a lot like the guy who was chatting with the couple in front of us last night at the opera – he’d have that Southern twang, he’d have been dressed in that dapperish gayish mode, and he would have been saying exactly what this guy was saying:
Yes, I’m living with mother. We finally got the house in Gentilly fixed, but we are still working on the other ones. Honestly, I’m so tired of dealing with the people here. When mother dies, I’m so far out of here. I am headed to North Carolina. That’s right. I was telling (mumble) that I am so tired of the tax money they are getting from me for nothing in this city. (Mumble) said that money goes to pay for schooling for the children of the city. And I said I don’t know why those people don’t work hard and send their kids to private school like my parents did. I am just blown away by everyone wanting a hand out these days. Yes, when mother dies, I’ll be leaving.
