Evidently, race relationship has many negative impacts on the society. When racism becomes dominant in a society, development may be hindered and peaceful cohesion within the society distracted. The thesis of the author is to determine how the lowest peak of racism in the south limited development. The major points of the author include the fact that agricultural conditions of the South did not change between the years 1870s and 1930s (Boles 1). Despite the change in periods by almost 60 years, still the poor white and black farmers stayed in cotton fields full of dust and looked as if they were unable to change their lives for the better. Besides, a description is provided that the Southern rural community has remained stationery longer than English people have remained stack anywhere around the world. Furthermore, the author states that blacks had earned themselves limited economic successes, which threatened white’s image of superiority and as a result, the whites developed hate toward blacks to an extent of lynching many of the Blacks in public arena (Boles 2). Besides, the whites in the South disenfranchised the blacks and went further to occupy all the top political seats, electing only their wives to take the posts of southern lady hood, to support the husbands at the polls.
The author concludes by saying that events in the future will reconstruct the south better than those in the past (Boles 6). In my opinion, the author has achieved the thesis since he has illustrated all the incidences proving the existence of racism in the south, its impacts, and a systematic analysis to show how racism has been handled in attempts of reducing it to its lowest levels. I think the article is educative and may be applicable in dealing with racism cases.
