A Portrait of Rasicm

Crooks the one and only black stable hand on the farm is in his room now making it look nice before bed. When Lennie walks in he is dumbfounded. He is confused because as it says on pg. 68 it says "'Why aint you wanted," says Leneie.' 'Cause i'm black. They play cards in there, but i cant play cause i'm black. They say i stink. Well, I tell you, all of you stink to me." Racism in the 1930's is technically over but in white peoples minds, they still feel it should be there. Another quote on pg. 70 " If i say something, it's just a nigger sayin' it." Crooks is not being heard by the people at the ranch because of the color of his skin. He is also one of the only black people in Soledad. Therefore he is all alone so he must stay where he is and rot. Racism might not be fully around anymore but to the white people of that age it will never end.
