I've read that web site mentioned by leif, and it treats the song as some kind of legal document, dylan iobviously wasnt trying to make a case that would hold up in court; he was writing a song about what he felt was right. He based it on what he knew/ was told by reuben, and the examples of racism in teh song are not meant to be specific, theyre just meant to show that racism was involved in this case. This song doesnt even have to be restricted to carter.
