Any intent to withhold assistance or a request for such is screwing the person over imo. She was a hate filled witch and that farmer probably was driven to that dept because of the seriousness of the situation...maybe it was his last choice or last option. Going in there at a critical/vulnerable moment and then to hear she wouldn’t help and didn’t want to help because he was white...is just evil. Steering him to an attorney is not exactly what I would call a redemptive move on her part.
We don’t know yet what the final story is with the farmer. If she steered him to one of his own kind, a white lawyer, and the lawyer helped him save his farm, then he didn’t get screwed over. And yes, that still would NOT redeem her.
