subservience in Black Boy

Subservience in the way we see it in Black Boy is not a necessary part of life. No matter what you do though you will have a form of subservience but the way we see it in Black Boy is different. In black boy we see the whites making the Black inferior to them. This is not just subservience this segregation because even for the lower class whites are considered better then the blacks in the south. If we were to make the blacks even with the whites then yes there is some subservience needed in the form of a lower and middle class, which form the working class. There has to be some one at the bottom but should be an even playing filed between whites and blacks.

I agree with what you’re saying for the most part. The first part I agree with, because no one should be discriminated against based on race, and that the subservience we see in black boy is not a necessary part of life. The last part I agree with to an extent, yes I think that subservience is necessary but I don’t feel that those with less money should be subservient to those of a higher class. I think that in a working environment subservience is need because you have the workers and then the managers, either way all of them should be treated equally but the manager is still in charge. So to an extent I think that subservience is necessary but it should not be based on things like race, gender, wealth, etc.
