Coping with white people

Wright knowing that he has been in a way 'socialized' with whites too late effects him in such a way that he almost becomes self conscious. Wright seems to force himself to be hyper-aware of of things he says, does, and even just the tone of his voice around the whites in his life. Wright conditions himself to say 'sir' and 'ma'am', as well as monitoring his voice just to make sure that he doesn't come off as aggressive in any way shape or form. Wright accepts too much too late to have people see him as a functioning member of the society he lives in.
