Quote: "'Bigger please! Don't say sir to me....I don't like it. You're a man just like I am; I'm no better than you. Maybe other white men like it. But I don't. Look, Bigger..." (70)
Significance:
This shows Jan to be completely devoted to equality for all, as would be expected. However, it just seemed to me like he was talking to Bigger like Bigger was a child. A sort of "you only think something because you don't know any better" kind of thing. I'm sure his intentions are good, but they way he communicates his beliefs just seems off. Maybe I'm reading too much into this.
Question: Why did Jan speak to Bigger in that manner?
