"The first time I was faced with having to help a white farmer save his farm. It took a long time talking, but he was trying to prove himself superior to me. I know what I was doing. But he had to come to me help. I did not know, while he was talking all the time trying to prove himself superior to me, was I was trying to decide how much help she was giving. I was struggling with the fact that many black people had lost their farmland, and here I was faced with having to help a white person save their land.
So I did not give the full force of what he could do. I did enough so that when he assumed that the Department of Agriculture had sent me, that or the Georgia Department of Agriculture. And, uh, I had to go back and report that I tried to help. So they took him to a white lawyer .... So I figured that if I took one of them, their class would take care of him. "
