Griffin had been getting a lot of telephone calls from black leaders and white leaders asking each other for the other races cooperation. He even had people who had not believed him at first call him and tell them that they realized they were wrong and he was right all Griffin would reply with was "I wish I was wrong". I think that he said that because he does not want to believe and can not that people would treat and disrespect each other just based on the color of their skin.

Being in the south was dangerous driving for Griffin and P.D. because people knew who they were and what they did so they had to avoid people as much as possible. As in the story they were driving down the road and a cop had turned on his lights and pulled them over. Both of them frightened and scared P.D. said "let me do the talking" he was nervous but the cop did not recognize them, and told them there blinker was out when they tried to turn. I think that the cop not recognizing them was a good thing because if he did there would have been one of 2 reactions. One him thanking him for stopping all this racist nonsense or him arresting him and beating him or even worse killing him for turning on his own kind.

Pg 152-164

Whites in the south liked Griffins experiment but were just afraid that their neighbor would turn on them and not look well for them. As said "There were six thousand letters to date and only nine of them abusive, that the white man is scared of his fellow white man than that of a negro. I think that even though the white people in the deep south were afraid they should have stood up for the negro because then it might have influenced other people to join in and act like Americans.

Nothing like family. Griffin gets picked up by a black man offering him shelter and food letting him know in advance that he does not have much to offer but it is better than nothing and there is not much room. When he gets there he is respected by the whole family and see how much they all love each other even though there is not much to go around. When the kids even go to bed they give Griffin a complete stranger a kiss and said goodnight and it reminded him of his own kids. I think that this could be true with all blacks because they need to stick together in oder to get through all of the racism going around...because if they do not work together and help each other out they will fall apart as a race together.

Within reason. In the book when griffin is walking in the dead of night while the cold is creeping in on him he runs into a little convenient store. His stomach is aching from going without food and water so he decides to go. When he gets there an elderly lady refuses him at first because he is black but he asks again saying please because he dreads rejection at this moment. The elderly lady must have seen his face and how it was saddened and changed a heart by this because she let him in. I think that the old lady was scared at first because he was a lonely negro in the night asking to come into the place where she worked. She must have felt sorry for him and saw that he was harmless but she was still disgusted that he was black.

Pages 77-94

One good white American in Mississippi. While Griffith is hitchhiking down the road he gets picked up by a heavyset, round-faced tough looking young man. Griffith thought he was going to be like the other ones all asking him about his sex life and what he liked to do. But as time went on he realized that this one was different from the rest of the rides he had gotten. He figured that this guy must have been color blind or something because of the way he was being treated. The white young man had even offered to stop and buy him a hamburger because he had missed his own dinner. Then offered if he had found a place to stay yet in Mississippi and then offered a place to stay at his house because he had two rooms. I just think that since Griffith had been stereotyping whites that he had previously ridden with that he thought they were all going to be the same. When in all reality I think there is always someone out there that will treat you just like anyone else and not based on color or religion or anything else that makes you different from the norm.

Pages 53-76

Hate within the same race. On the bus ride into Mississippi a Negro man got on the bus at one of the stops and started saying "man this place stinks look at all these negro's" and "all these damn punks darned ni**gers". He even got into a verbal fight with another negro that almost turned into a fist fight. I think that this negro was thinking he was better than all of the rest because he was of a lighter skin maybe. Or that he was just conceited of himself and hope that if he showed hatred toward them he would be treated better.
