** The use of white also serves as a contrast to the stained and vandalised brown wall behind her, which is stained by a tomato and vandalised by racist graffiti. It is a visual metaphor that the so-called purity of white America is only being ruined by their own bigotry and hysteria over an innocent child who's just going to school like any other kid in America.

* InternalDeconstruction: Rockwell worked in the "The Saturday Evening Post" drawing illustrations for their covers. Until [[https://www.nrm.org/2014/02/golden_rule/ "Golden Rule"]], he only depicted an idealized {{Eagleland}} with a MonochromeCasting of white people doing very American things. The magazine criticized the aforementioned rule and told him to stop drawing black and white people in equal standing. He quit the job and, thus, ''The Problem With All Live With'' was born -- white people here are minor [[TheFaceless faceless]] characters representing an oppressive system and the protagonist is a black little girl.

** Ruby Bridges is a six-year-old, black girl going to her newly desegregated school, so she's the farthest thing from menacing one could think of. However, The mob of angry white protesters (not seen in the frame) sees her like this. Someone clearly wrote the racist graffiti, threw the tomato, and made a guard of federal marshals necessary. The viewer is meant to see the scene from the perspective of a person in the mob, forcing them to [[PrejudiceAesop confront their own prejudice]].

* WhiteIsPure: Ruby Bridges is the only character in the painting who is drawn wearing white and it remains unstained and unblemished as the racist mob throw tomatoes at her. Since Norman Rockwell was an advocate of civil rights, the use of white is to symbolise how Ruby is just an innocent child going to school like everyone else. It also shows that what's supposed to be a good sign of societal progression is being tainted by the fact that the angry, white crowd are throwing tomatoes at her and she's having to be escorted by 4 US marshals.
