during the Invisible Man's speech he repeats "we're a wise, law-abiding people" many times. It reminds me of Washington: "We are not bitter"

I also saw a similarity between the narrator's and Washington's views.

yes i noticed how he kept empasizing that phrase
the phrase "we are not bitter" is also in the part where Bledsoe expels him. He says "Two things our people must do is accept responsibility
...for their acts and avoid becoming bitter" and then "Son, if you don't become bitter, nothing can stop you from success. Remember that."
