Who made these statements and when? These are paraphrases:

It is regrettable that black Americans do not have the right to vote. I think we should give that right to those who are very intelligent.

I originally included that part, but with that included it no longer seemed like a trivia question. Looking at it today I think my paraphrasing still left the answer a bit too obvious, maybe it would have been better to leave out or obscure a couple more details.

Trivia question posted on the internet in the age of google... good idea
Actually, it's because this is the age of Google that I used paraphrases instead of quotes, and left out a couple details.
