They know their attempts will only cause them more harm, and that the police will always take the white man's side. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288312 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288312 Sun, 24 Jan 2021 16:26:10 -0500 Very similar to what's happening today. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288306 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288306 Sun, 24 Jan 2021 19:37:24 -0500 It's horrifying to see that the policeman did nothing to stop this. Instead, he treated her even worse and threw her into his patrol wagon (although she didn't do anything wrong). https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288276 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288276 Mon, 25 Jan 2021 01:40:04 -0500 I agree. He feels that he has to defend his superiority. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288273 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288273 Sun, 24 Jan 2021 16:26:10 -0500 Black people were assumed to be servants to white people and to not ask questions. Richard's desire to learn is shocking to Pease and Morrie. They are unhappy about it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288272 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288272 Thu, 15 Apr 2021 10:32:13 -0400 What was the minimum wage during this time? This seems very below minimum wage. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288255 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288255 Sun, 24 Jan 2021 16:26:10 -0500 Kids should not be spending their days working when they're in grammar school. This was the sad truth for many poorer, black families who were not given the same resources as white people. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288254 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288254 Sun, 24 Jan 2021 19:06:14 -0500 I agree. He probably feels that he has to fend for himself without anyone to fall back on for support. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288251 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288251 Sun, 24 Jan 2021 16:26:10 -0500 This is a great point. I agree that pretty much all living conditions were better for white people than those for black people. In this paragraph, readers can gage how serious the violence and crime in this black community really is. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288222 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288222 Sun, 24 Jan 2021 16:26:10 -0500 It's sad to see that this young boy grew up with little greenery and play area around him. It's important for kids to spend time outside playing with a ball or running around, but it seems like this boy was unable to do that. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288218 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250941?scroll_to=2288218 Mon, 25 Jan 2021 02:13:17 -0500
