BLOGGGGG 17-37

I think its sad how the blacks have to be segregated to the ghetto.
maybe those white folks should try to live there for a while so they begin to smell like despair and exhaustion .
It's sad that they can only use the restrooms at train or bus stations and in a church. they can't just go use the restroom at a restaurant.
I also think its sad that he couldn't stand up and give the old gray hair lady, cause the other Negros on the bus scorned and glared at him.
i think it is funny that the lady starts to like him and that he has to tell her hes married and avoid her.
i think it is messed up that a little white kid would call him a no hair baldy shit head. even if he is black it i don't think its right that a little kid should be telling another person especially an adult that he is a shit head.
It also annoys me that they other whites yell at the blacks and say "hey n****r don't go in there" and "we DON'T serve N****r's."

I don't think that the discrimination in this book is right.
I think it's super messed up that the bus driver wouldn't let him off the bus because he took too long to walk to the front of the bus; and when he asked to be let off at the next stop the driver just drove right on past it.
Then at the bus station when the lady was like "I cant break that big of a bill" and he asked well is there somewhere in here i could find a place to get a ticket like maybe from a manager and the lady stormed off and came back and threw his money and ticket at him and he had to pick it up off the floor. Then the waiting station was only for whites inside the bus station and outside there was a waiting room called the colored cafe, why couldn't the white people just get over themselves and sit with the colored people.
I also dislike how the Mississippi judicial department didn't even really prosecute the guy in the lynching murder kidnapping case.
It aggravates me how people can just get away with murder and hate crimes.
It isn't right at all and if i could i would go and try to change how southern whites feel about and treat blacks.
