Native Son

" What this man evoked in him and what he had read in the paper; the love of him own kind and hate of others made him feel equally guilty now" (282).

The chaos that going on in Chicago is caused by Bigger and the lack of understanding of races around them. The people are so closed minded, they are not willing to unbraced the different kind of people around them. They just categorize all people. Most people go through life without doing anything about it and not even trying to make a change in their personalities. This quote allude to the fact that both groups whites and blacks are equally at fault for the segregation. The loved themselves and only people of their race and they are both contributing the hatred going on. Because the black can look at a white person and think of them as one independent person. They view them as the whites as a whole force and the whites do the exact same thing.

How will the Bigger try to convince people that he was the product of his environment?
