I think you may be confusing Pearl Bailey with Minnie Pearl. Pearl Bailey was a black singer/actress. But the quote does seem more like something Pearl Bailey would say.

Nope. There was at least one rather significant difference between Minnie Pearl and Pearl Bailey.

Is anyone here old (mature) enough to remember the black comedienne, Pearl Bailey? I remember a skit, about a 100 years ago, wherein the punch line was, "...if you gotta' wear a badge sayin' what you is, you ain't...".

Somebody help me. How can I remember things like that and I can't remember what I had for lunch?
