The genre of jazz music was first born out of the woes and suffering of the then modern black society. Sonny’s brother on the other hand chose to be an algebra teacher; he was respected by the white culture and his teaching credential earned him the right to be accepted. His aspiration to become an African American teacher implied that his desire was to hide from prejudice, unlike Sonny who really embraced his ethnicity and African American culture. An algebra teacher is very logical and structured by nature, whereas a musician is more free spirited and creative by nature. Those differences explain the wide gap between the left brain-ness brother and the right brain-ness Sonny, and why they have such a hard time understanding each other.

In the novel Black Boy, Wright is living a life filled with constant neglect and segregation; however, even as a child, he was able to accept others without hurting them. When Mrs. Moss was obviously trying to force the idea of marriage with her daughter to Wright, he just simply replied that he didn’t want to get involved in her life and that he didn’t want to hurt her (Wright 213). This is just an example of one person who has accepted the idea of tolerance. During this exact time, Wright was being misjudged and mistreated by the people who believed that they were better than him. The flag case in “American Flag Stands For Tolerance” resulted in the freedom of Gregory Lee Johnson because the ultimate irony would have been to punish views expressed by burning the flag that stands for the right to those expressions (Allen 20).
What was the temperance? Answer: Even after the civil war whites were hesitant in integrating other races into sports and other such practices for fear of tainting the anglo saxon way.

The United States successfully instilled in its inhabitants the notion that black people were not even people, creating and upholding the society where slaves were held at the bottom of the social hierarchy. Because Beloved focuses on the differences between the social status of black people before and after the civil war it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the systems of oppression in place before the war which aided in the control of slaves by placing them at the bottom of any social
Washington’s belief that blacks should prove themselves through hard work can reflect on his promotion of vocational education. Several white citizens in the South believed blacks are not worthy nor are able to receive the type of education white citizens had, and Washington wanted to terminate this belief. According to Black Georgia in the Progressive Era by John Dittmer, “...most were suspicious of anything beyond a bare elementary eduucation. Former governor Allen D. Candler wrote, ‘I do not believe in the higher education of the darky. He should be taught the trades, but when he is taught the fine arts he gets educated above his caste which makes him unhappy’” (Dittmer 142).
In the North, blacks encountered de facto segregation, racism, and discrimination in housing and public services; nevertheless, they were able to vote and had better job opportunities. In the South, blacks were disfranchised, lived under a segregationist regime enforced by violence, and found fewer avenues for escape from crushing poverty"(Leuchtenburg, William).
