The only thing the white man has over a black man is education.  Most black people were slaves and slaves were not allowed to be educated.  This was the one and only thing that made the white and black man different.  Douglass realized this when  Mr.Auld told Mrs. Auld not to teach him because teaching a slave is unlawful.
"A nigger should know nothing but to obey his master-to do as he is told to do. Learning would spoil the best nigger in the world." 
                           -Frederick Douglass
