In the "Voices" article, a 38-year-old white sharecropper in North Carolina summed up his support of segregation and his views on his black neighbors and fellow farmers this way: "We're working to own our farm. We want to hurry up and get someplace. But they just don't work. They just don't care. All they're looking for is the end of the week when the landlord will shoot 'em a little money. [T]hey take a bath once a month, and their fields don't look like they's hardly tending them." At the same time, according to LIFE, the sharecropper's approval of segregation was "based as much, or more, on personal pride than notions of color. He would rather have a Negro living next door than he would a white 'redneck' or 'peckerwood.' In his view, 'there's nothing sorrier than a sorry white man.'"
