In this quote, Tom is justifying his racist ideology with "facts." His ideas encapsulate social Darwinism and the general perception against colored persons.]]> 2018-02-20 18:06:27 UTC https://padlet.com/atthan100/by65j2ejjg0l/wish/233419196 atthan100 https://padlet.com/atthan100/by65j2ejjg0l/wish/233419576 "Nowadays people begin by sneering at family life and family institutions, and next they'll throw everything overboard and have intermarriage between black and white" (130).

Tom discusses intermarriage as a blight to society, as if it would contaminate his vision of high class life. ]]> 2018-02-20 18:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/atthan100/by65j2ejjg0l/wish/233419576 atthan100 https://padlet.com/atthan100/by65j2ejjg0l/wish/233421734 ]]> 2018-02-20 18:09:55 UTC https://padlet.com/atthan100/by65j2ejjg0l/wish/233421734 atthan100 https://padlet.com/atthan100/by65j2ejjg0l/wish/233424338 2018-02-20 18:13:36 UTC https://padlet.com/atthan100/by65j2ejjg0l/wish/233424338
