Once Griffin decides to alternate his appearance so he can present as a white man one minute and a black man the next, he realizes just how starkly his experience changes depending upon the way he looks. Indeed, he feels a sense of acceptance and “brotherly-love” when he looks like a white man and is amongst other white people. In these moments, he is able to enjoy the many “privileges” available to a white man in American society—“privileges” not afforded to black men, who are forced to suffer “judg[ment]” and scorn from white people.
