             Then goes to his college and is expelled for having innocently taken a white donor through a Negro gin mill that also happens to be a brothel. His whole experience is to follow this pattern. Whether by choice (white) or accident (black), the structure of Negro respectability rests upon deception and those who profit from it cannot bear to have the reality exposed (another example of white: the college is more than likely dependent upon the Northern white millionaire or the good).
