"They had always robbed Negroes. they felt that it was much easier and safer to rob their own people, for they knew that white policemen never really searched diligently for Negroes who committed crimes against other Negroes"(14).
This quote is significant because it really explains the racial environment that Bigger lives in. That white people in that society are so powerful, that they would rather rob many of their people as opposed to on white man. I think that this is the reason that Bigger is to corrupt and in the wrong place in life. Because he is constantly threatened by the thought of white people, and that they have everything while he has nothing. I also think that he sort of feels the white taking over in him and that he will become something that he doesn't want to become.
How might Biggers short temper with Gus evolve into a more serious problem in the future?
Bigger is always being accused of his groups/families troubles by his mom and gang members. Could this be why bigger is what he is?
