Throughout the play there is a lot of racial segregation between African Americans and the white people. You can see how they are separated and treated differently. On page 622 Sam tells Harold his master that he can speak loud that his mom wasn't around and what does this mean? What i get from this is that he can now speak to the boys because his mom isn’t around. On page 631 There’s a conversation with Sam and Harold and Harold tells him that what would people think if they walk inside the business shop and see them goofing around his mom could lose her license for such thing. It wasn’t a normal act for an African American to have fun especially at work where the majority is white people. Lastly on page 635 Sam and Harold are arguing and Harold reminds him that he is only a servant there not to forget that. Sam argues about his boss being Harold’s mom since she’s the one that pays him. Harold replies by saying “he’s a white man and that’s good enough for you”. with this statement it more than clear that white over powered the back
