Spending time with Benny the Blister had shaken Buck Nance's confidence in the superiority of the white male. He and his brothers had clung to such views since their Romberg youth, warped by their father's fulminations. While redneck stardom had exposed Buck to many white fans who were poor advertisements for a master race, Blister stood out as one of the worst specimens he'd ever met: stupid, reckless, dirty, and delusional. And that's when he was stone sober.
"Spending time with Benny the Blister had shaken Buck Nance's confidence in the superiority of the white male."
Initially, Buck and his brothers believed in racial superiority, shaped by their father's harsh teachings. However, encounters with Benny, who was notably foolish and delusional even when sober, made Buck question these long-held beliefs, especially since Benny was a stark contrast to the idealized image of a white male they had been led to admire.
