Blog 20: Segregation Presented in Chapter 8

How did the depression impact the black community of Stamps?
They say that the people in the town were so prejudice that Negroes couldn't buy vanilla ice cream. He could only have Chocolate.

Did it Change Them Much?
Did it alter their views on life?
Yes. It resulted in negroes trying to wear a mask, not wanting to be proud of who they are. The whites made them feel insignificant.

Were they better or worse off than the white community?
The negroes were worse off then the white community because they were not allowed to go anywhere and the had very strict restrictions that pretty much did not allow them to live.

Which would recover faster?
The White would recover faster because even though they had the same amount of money the whites had more access in the community.

I would rather be a Caucasian in this time period because they had a higher class in the society
