Black: “What would you do if Jesus was to speak to you?”
White: “Do you imagine that he might?”
Black: “No, I don’t. But, but, I’own know.”
White: “I’m not virtuous enough.”
Black: “No, professor, it ain’t nothing like that. You ain’t got to be virtuous. You just got to be quiet.”

As a side note It's interesting that Berkeley Heideggerian Bert Dreyfus's and his former student and now chair of Harvard Philosopy Sean Kelly's "All Things Shining" is making something of a splash in the zeitgeist. It's Heidegger for "masses", which is about attunement to Being through receptivity and gratitude. Jesus isn't the hero of their story, though--Homer and Melville are.
I'll have more to say about that book when I have more time.
