black race isnt as good as the white one, he thinks the black race is a disgrace. He does this even though he belongs to that race.. He would follow instructions and became a tool to be exploited. For example, he aspired to emulate Dr. Bledsoe, but the older man used him to promote his own power.what Bledsoe could never understand, that individuality does not exclude being part of a group.

In the story, she never is really concerned with groups, and blacks and whites, and all that stuff.
