Summary:
Ike's voice takes over from the narrator's, and he uses what the narrator has said about tenant farming as economic bondage to predict the future of the blacks who have suffered so much at the hands of the white South - including the "evil and unregenerate" acts of his own grandfather (280). Ike praises the virtues of the blacks as a race, while Cass denigrates them on in a similarly racialist - and in his case, racist - fashion.
