He'd also have to desire that if he and his family were black then they'd be treated poorly.
To dramatize this idea, we could tell him Hare's delightful story about the color-changing germ that is about to infect the world. The germ turns originally white skin permanently black and originally black skin permanently white. Does Ima really desire that if this happened then the newly white people be treated well, and the newly black people (including himself and his family) be treated poorly?

This is obvious to me and to you. But how do we make it obvious to Ima?
