Thomas is deeply, almost instinctively, opposed to anything that smacks of what you call, or maybe what he calls, white paternalism. I think you could see echoes of malcolm x here. Thomas has his own animal iconography that he used. He compares the copperhead to the water moccasin. But it's the same typology. And that is the white paternalist. Is somebody who wants to help, but we'll never let you forget that he or she has helped you. That with the helping hand that they extend with one hand, they take away with the other.
