The Narrator’s Tunnel Vision in “And Love Them”

In a scene from Thomas Glave’s And Love Them, the narrator grows fearful of a black man walking down the same street as her at night, assuming that he will attack her. When she sees him hail a cab, her fears are briefly relieved but replaced with anger when he does not reciprocate her smile. This interaction portrays how quick the narrator is to use her encounters with black individuals to defend her preconceived generalizations of all black people. Her experience with the black man is mirrored in her interactions with black people throughout the story, as she is never truly able to see beyond her stereotypical and racist views of them.
