That goes to say, not all crimes are committed solely by black men, and black men should not be treated like criminals based off of others wrongdoings.

    Initially he had thought he was better than the rest since he was intelligent and had come to give a speech. But once he was striped and blindfolded he realized that in the eyes of the white man he was no different from the rest and so he was actually ‘invisible.” This episode at the hotel ballroom taught him a hard lesson on betrayal, how promises are broken, how rules are not the same for everyone. There were no rules to the game, “no rounds, no bells at three minute intervals to relieve our exhaustion” (Ellison 6). When it was time to “slug it out for the winner’s prize” (Ellison 6) he realized that the large guy Tatlock who he was to fight considered him his enemy and refused to let up even after the narrator offered him seven dollars.
