Walker: White People and Well-educated Black Man

A well-educated black man, with dreams of making it in the world, is What Jerald Walker was determined to do. Walker had grown up in a community where opinions about whites were shared by everyone. Whites discriminated against black people and anything that was believed as bad by black people, was blamed on the white people. In order to succeed, Walker would have to Be like his brother Clyde. Clyde did non fit the stereotype, of a regular black man. His brother utter things like, whites arent an obstacle to success and only you cant saveative you.In Scattered Inconveniences, Jerald Walker is up against what seems to be a redneck cowboy that is trying to intimidate and scare because his family wasnt from that part of the country. it turns out that the shout honking his horn and riding his bumper, is reasonable a good Samaritan trying to prevent a washer from falling out of the back of Walkers truck. I consider that Walker is talking from his own experience, when he states that everyone is a racist just by nature, he is saying that we all learn stereotyping from the people nearly us.I dont think that his statement is necessarily being a racist, I feel that everyone is discriminated against for something whether it be the color of our skin, the clothes that we wear, or the channelise that we live. I see myself being like Walker, just assuming this ridicule is out to hurt me and my family just because Im a diametric race. Not fitting the stereotype, I would probably react the same, just throw mad and then feel really bad for just mechanically thinking the worse first.
