It is hard for me to give an exact answer on weather, Troy Maxson is a racist or not. The time period in which Troy is in, is a time period of racial divide. In this time period it is hard for me to believe that blacks could not help but be a little bit racist, because of the way they were treated. I do not think Troy has hatred towards white people he just wants the same opportunity as white people, with this being said he might harbor some resentment towards whites for not allowing him a chance at opportunities. All Troy wants is to have the same rights as the whites and to be given the same opportunities as the whites. In this story Troy uses some words to describe white and blacks that are racial words. The way Troy uses these words I don’t think they would make him a racist. I don’t think Troy is a racist but he is really frustrated trying to figure out how he can gain momentum in the society he is in.
