If I divide my apple with a Negro but refuse to let him bite off my half, I give him an equal right but at the same time I keep segregation.

Many of the stores have already been driven into bankruptcy by heavy taxation and government-operated shops which make a point of underselling them. The rest of the Jewish stores will shortly be expropriated, according to Hungarian Economic Boss Zoltan Vas, himself...
