Ch-6 , Page 20, Par-3
" There was a free "N" there, from Ohio; a mulatter, most as white as a white man. He had the whitest you ever see, too, and the shineist hat; and there ain't a man in that town that's got as fine as clothers as what he had... they said he could vote, when he was at home..It was 'lection dayand i was just about to go vote,myself, if i wern't to drunk to get there; butwhen they told me there was a Stat in this countrywhere the'd let that "N" vote, i drawed out. I says I'll never vote again" There was a black man that had the best clothes in the state and he was free. The state said he could vote and Pap decided when hes was gouin to vote that hje was never voting again just because the black man in ohio was alowed to vote.
I think that this quote is racist in many ways but i am only pointing out one for the sake of time. One way that it is racist is because "Pap" was mad that a black man was allowed to vote and he said he was not goin to vote. "Pap" said he would never vote again just because a black person was allowed to vote. So he is just not doing somthing just because a black peson can. This is just like me saying that i am not ever going to eat lunch just because a black person can. That would be utter nonsense because it would only harm me and no one else. This proves that there is no pouint to racism.
Mark twain would dislike this quote about the same or even more that about how much i dislike it. This was proven when Mark Twain moved to the north during his life time. During his life time there was still slvery in the south. There was more racist people in the south than there was in the north. This suppo0rts my prevois statment that mark twain would dislike this quote as much or motre than me.
