Summary

This quote highlights a derogatory stereotype that equates women, particularly of minority groups, with the derogatory term used to describe African Americans. It suggests that a woman's worth and desirability lie in her submissiveness and conformity to traditional gender roles. It perpetuates the notion that women should be confined to domestic spaces and implies that they can only be considered "lovable" and "happy" when they fulfill these limited expectations. This quote reveals the intersectionality of racism and sexism, underscoring the damaging impact of stereotypes on women's agency, achievements, and individuality.

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his god, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state.
