One possible answer to what Quentin's "fooling" may "mean" is that Faulkner can safely call an Italian girl his sister, and years later, claim blood kinship to Italians, all the while fictively assimilating their American kin to blacks, whom he cannot acknowledge as relatives because of the obvious personal and social scandal this would have engendered for him within his own community. The resulting picture is this: Black Americans are fictively stripped of all agency and self-government, but policy makers, imagining themselves as the only possible saviors, stand without any conviction that salvation can be won.
