Before he entered government, Clarence Snopes was the "leader of a roistering gang of cousins and toadies who fought and drank and beat Negroes and terrified young girls" (89). In a later paragraph the narrator suggests they beat blacks because, unconsciously, they were afraid of blacks "as a race" (89).
