s is the Southern black man never has been under any illusion about the opposition he is dealing with....But the Northern white man, he grin with his teeth, and his mouth has always been full of tricks and lies of “equality” and “integration.”...The truth is that “integration” is an image, it’s a foxy Northern liberals smoke-screen that confuses the true wants of the American black man . (p. 271) Lindner is telling the Younger family that it is not the community that does not want them to move in, but he is telling them that they themselves do not want to move into a community that is different from them. This happens all the time in today's society. When a family of a particular minority move into a subdivision, the current residents that are unhappy with the move try to get the incoming family to change their minds or harass them after they have already moved to force them out. It is time that we move on and put skin color behind us. The country as a whole has fought over this and it was decided by the Civil War the blacks should have their freedom as “full” American citizens. When will we be able to live as one community? “The history must be taught, and if not in schools then at home. But that won’t or can’t be done until our home life, our families, get back on track. Its a vicious cycle. We still have a long, long way to go.” (Lee p. xivii)Hansberry, Lorraine. A Raisin in the Sun. Norton Introduction to Literature: 7th edition. Ed. Jerome Beaty, et al.
