In Chapter 6, Guitar reveals his secret to Milkman. Milkman is horrified, and their ensuing argument reveals how differently they respond to the racist world around them, each doing so in his own flawed and extreme way. As readers, we might also be horrified by Guitar’s brand of extremism, but he is firm in his beliefs and provides a lengthy rationale for why he feels his work is the only path toward justice. What are his reasons? What has led Guitar to this point?
