he was saying that they blacks would get so mad sometimes that they would yell out take-ten which ment take ten whites for every black that killed a white.
My opionon on the blacks would be that they are just as good as the whites just because there skin is a different color doesn't mean that they are bad people.
I am glad that he went and did this experiment so when people read his book they could realize how bad the whites really were to the blacks and how the blacks delt with it.

This part of the story is mostly explaining why he wanted to turn himself black to me i think if alot og people did what he did and changed there color to see the effect alot of people would realize how it hurts others and doesnt make them feel very well about themselves.
109-121
when the whites were talkin and he was listening he over heard the whites saying that the blacks could do better. he mentioned to his host that they couldnt do any better they were working and doing the best for there families. Now days it seems like at fast food places or construction it seems like there are way more blacks or mexicans taking our jobs. He kept getting reminded of his children and his daughters birthday party.
95-108
his friend that was white bought him A hamburger but in america most blacks do not have to worry bout that they van just go buy one. The foremen that he talked to told him he couldnt get that. We treat blacks weird like if we see them we look at them different or some people honk at them so there is kinda a simmularity between what we do to blacks and what is going on in the book.

they were treated very poorly on the bus and the blacks couldnt get off the bus to use the restroom. The guy was trying to punch him and start something with him. Everyone changed when they reached mississippi, they were all very friendly and nice! He got invited to their house which made him happy but he felt out of place.
blog post for sec 38-52

They are going through the manuscript. He rode back in the police car which he said was much more quicker and enjoyable.He was treated well in New Orleans. He found a loaf of French bread lying on the floor by the waste basket! He stopped and talked about the beaches and how the blacks have to pay.Mostly talking about comparisons between whites and blacks.
