Jackson: Go ahead. Say something, say something fresh.
Traver: It's easy to insult a man when you got him hog-tied.
Jackson: You intimatin' I'm a coward 'cause I got you tied up here? Well that ain't it. Believe it, don't believe it, makes no difference. I seen my death half dozen times. And I never yet been scared and that's the truth. You see it's... just like you got a alligator, you tie him up. A lot of soft-hearted people try to-- try to make out a nigger's a man. I just don't believe it. I don't believe you are; God left somethin' out of you, a soul or somethin'. Trying to prove he's a man is what gets a nigger into trouble. Was you a man, I'd be mad at you, but I ain't really. Hell, I'm sorry for you, and that's the truth.

That said, the main character is not the black fugitive (Bernie Hamilton) but the young girl (Kay Meersman, a Liv Tyler lookalike in an amazing performance). She has lived on a remote island for most of her life and knows very little about the racist realities of the American South (or anything else.) She is confronted with it head on, when a black clarinet-player fugitive named Travers, unjustly accused of raping a white woman escapes to her island to hide from a lynch mob. She becomes friendly with him and likes him as a person and can't understand the irrational animosity Miller (her temporary 'protector' whom she hates and who sleeps with her against her will)has for this man.
All this creates a whole bunch of complex tensions that Bunuel deals with in the most masterful way possible. You really believe in all these characters, they are multi-dimensional and historically and psychologically valid. Bunuel has been called cynical and cruel. That may be true but nevertheless quite a few of his films remain consummate works of art because they live up to Pascal's idea of showing man's 'greatness within wretchedness.' This is one of them. 'The Young One' is a MUST SEE film, if there ever was one. It makes all other films about racism and the corruption of innocence look like amateur hour.
