Blog Post #8 - Invisible Man

Chapter 19 is when the narrator is kicked out of Harlem due to his pending investigation of trying to sabotage the Brotherhood for his own personal gain. So he dedicates plenty of time as a woman's rights activist. Eventually a white woman invites him over to discuss brotherhood ideology, only to seduce him and sleep with him. This "reverse racism" occurs in that the white woman still objectifies the narrator as an exotic sex object.
