Black Boy Chapter 10-11

Whenever Richard got a job, he would have to work under racist white storeowners. The problem with this is that Richard absolutely hates the idea of being inferior to anyone, especially white people. Richard needs to be subservient to his employers in order to keep jobs and get by. Like I said before, RIchard hates this idea, which is why he gets fired numerous times. I think in Wright's situation subservience is extremely necessary. I think subservience is necessary within reason, though. I feel that the white employers of this time took subservience way too far. Obviously since they are employers they need to crack down on people like Richard who work for them but they would find any excuse to fire them just because they were black. Richard needs to learn to give into his employers but the employers need to realize that Richard is human and he is going to make mistakes.
