I question whether he ever had a girlfriend -- or a boyfriend, for that matter.
He looks anorexic, which is rare in males... but dangerous.
...I can imagine a happy ending. He went to the prayer meeting, and discussed his racist beliefs... and the people there, good Christians that they apparently were, got him to recognize that black people could love someone who came as an enemy... and convinced him that his racist ways were terribly wrong. His heart softened as he got to recognize that black people could be good people. They rescue him from from his racist ways, and deliver him from evil.
He joins in the Bible studies and starts to recognize that the people that he thought sub-human are in fact improving him as a person. He fattens up a little, and the anorexia goes. So does the violent proclivity -- and so do the gun and the Confederate and Nazi $#!+. He gets a job and starts reading such literature as Up From Slavery and The Souls of Black Folk instead of Mein Kampf and Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
He meets a wonderful girl at one of the Bible studies -- a wonderful black girl, whom he eventually marries and by whom he has beautiful biracial children of whom he is proud. His story gets a big write-up in Ebony Magazine in five years.
Happy endings are all too often fictional. The last happy ending I saw in reality was the Cubs wining the 2016 World Series, and there just haven't been many for me in the last few years.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
