How could the audience have known the ending prior to her saying it. Was a playbill passed out?
What really bothers me about this woman’s story is that as she recalls this different kind of man telling her his long story, she was sitting there thinking that he is trying to prove that he is superior to her. She was also thinking well I’ll prove I’m superior to him by witholding some of the things I could do for him.
She wasn’t even listening to the details of this man’s situation, rather she was obsessing over race and racial superiority while this man was telling her every single detail, I am quite certain, because his farm is important to him, not because he is superior to her.
She is insane. She is obsessed with her race, and she cannot see anything past race. She does not deserve a position of power. Furthermore, if any white person had said anything even remotely close to this, I don’t care if that story ended in the North Pole with Santa Claus and Rudolph, that white person would be DONE FOR.
The audience knew where she was going with the story, because she told them that she once thought everything was about race, but then learned that she was wrong. The story about the white farmer was an illustration of that change.
