Black Boy Chapter 9
When Griggs says the line "Learn to live in the South" he is telling Richard to stop apposing everyone. Griggs is giving Wright a warning by saying this. I feel like if you live in the south in this time period and you act out like Wright does then something bad is bound to happen to you. To me Griggs saying this could be associated straight back to Wright's speech problem in the previous chapters. Wright didn't like what happened and refused to deliver the speech. It could've been a lot worse for Wright and he got lucky that no one freaked out on him over refusing to do the speech.

When you say that he wants him to stop opposing people, I don't believe you are putting emphasis on where its deserved. He is talking more about how he needs to admit he is lesser than the whites. It isn't like being told to stop being hard to deal with, he is telling Richard to stop thinking he is equal.
