She is standing up for herself and refusing to let Lillian Jean continue to humiliate and disrespect her. Cassie ultimately wants to assert her dignity and challenge the racial hierarchy that oppresses her.
No, I do not believe Cassie's plan for revenge on Lillian Jean was a good one. Seeking revenge can often lead to more harm and escalate a situation. It's important to find constructive ways to address conflicts rather than resorting to revenge.
Jeremy Simmses is one of Cassie's friends. He waits at the crossroads every morning and evening for them, and has lives in a tree house in his back yard. Lillian Simmses is mean to Cassie in Strawberry, and Cassie later gets back at her by beating her up.
In "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry," it is revealed that Lillian Jean Simms pushed Cassie Logan into the road, leading to her confrontation with the white Simms brothers. This event sets off a chain of events that heightens the racial tensions in the story.
In "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry," Jeremy's sister Lillian Jean refuses to let Cassie and Little Man walk on the sidewalk when she is passing by.

This incident highlights the racial tension and inequality in the community, where white individuals like Lillian Jean feel entitled to mistreat people of color.
Jeremy and Lillian Jean Simms, are members of a white family in the town. They are both very different characters in the book. Jeremy is not a racist unlike the rest of his family, he wants to be friends with the Logan children especially Stacey who is Cassie's older brother. Jeremy gets punished for being friends with the Logans and is ordered not to speak to them. At the end of the book Jeremy tells the Logans that he has made a tree house in the woods and is living there, he doesn't want to be part of his own family. Lillian Jean is Jeremy's sister, she is a racist and believes in power of the black people in her town, an example of this is shown when she forces Cassie to get down in the road when she accidentally bumps into her, this is a good example of Cassie experiencing racism. Cassie gets revenge on her in the book, this incident is an important of Cassie growing up and her dealing with racism.
In the book "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry," Cassie was attacked by Lillian Jean Simms, a white girl, for not showing her proper respect. Cassie fought back and ended up getting in trouble with the white community, which led to serious consequences for her and her family.
Cassie was rescued from Mr. Sims in roll of thunder hear my cry because when Cassie bunmped into Lillian Jean, she had to applologize to Lillian Jean for "pushing" her. Big Ma made Cassie appologize to the Sims. For a moment, Cassie understood why Big Ma made her applologize (so there would not be any fighting going on between a black girl and a white girl).
Becuase! If cassie wouldn't, Mr. Simms would probably beat Cassie up. If you don't believe me, do a little research on 'segregation'
Cassie acts like a servant for Lillian Jean to avoid a conflict that would put her and her family in danger, as well as to protect her pride and self-respect in a segregated society where black people are expected to defer to whites. This act of subservience is a survival strategy for Cassie to navigate the racial dynamics of their community.
Initially, Cassie is submissive and fearful towards Lillian Jean due to the racist social hierarchy. However, as the story progresses, Cassie becomes more emboldened and stands up to Lillian Jean, challenging her authority and refusing to be treated as inferior.
