He explains that these segregatory actions soften black Americans' anger towards whites and distracts them from accessing the 'white man's intellectual legacy.” • Clay says that if he were to take Lula’s words to heart, he should just kill all the white people he meets. • Although Clay says all this, he deeply rejects this plan of action. He states that he does not want to kill and that he prefers to be ignorant of the problem. He says he would rather choose to pretend to be ignorant of racism and not try to get rid of it by fighting with whites.
