Listen, OP.
The question has crossed my mind as well. Considering the socio-political climate of the times I think what you have brought up is significant. There is something about it that has bugged me for years, but I can't quite put a finger on it. I think that you are going to have a hard time figuring out how to discuss this. Good luck.

I see, by your determination then (evidently knowing their personalities), the whole case is false?
She was a white social worker with enough ease to marry a black man in THOSE dayis!
He was a black man used to getting the short end of the stick whichever way he turned.
So, in knowing their general circumstances of life, I reject your view as having a bearing. I am really not sure how you can bring that angle into play,but I guees with no other possible answer to what seems totally ridiculous,you were left with no other possible answer.
