I think question number eleven of the Invisible Man socratic seminar questions was an important question that should have been discussed further. The question is, discuss the following statement as it relates to the narrator's character and discrimination as a whole, "How can he tell this to white men, I thought, when he knows they'll say that all Negroes do such things?" I feel that this quote generalizes discrimination as it was in the south during that time period in the narrator's eyes, which is similar to the views of many other black people then. This is seen when many of the influences in the beginning of the narrator's life expect him to simply conform to what the white man would "want" to see, regardless of how they truly feel.
Even today, people conform to society allowing discrimination to continue to occur even after equal rights laws have been passed. Examples of this can be seen in the article "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack" by Peggy McIntosh.
I feel that it is a disgrace to society that discrimination is still ocurring in the world today, in similar ways to as it was during the Invisible Man's generation.
