In "That Was Then, This is Now," why did Connie condemn Mike when he dropped her off at her house?Instead of defend him? What do you think...

VERY good question. In my opinion, and what I teach my kids, Connie condemned Mike after he took her home just out of fear and being sick of being victimized. Although Mike was nice to her and took her home, he did fraternize with the boys who tormented her at the store. Guilt by association. Now she had the opportunity to teach one of the white bigots a lesson by doing the same thing to him as what is done to her on a daily basis. Granted two wrongs don't make a right, but sometimes it just feels good to have a lil revenge.
