Who was this white stranger kid? And what was he doing in the East End where almost all kids were black?”
That can be related to racism because white people that live in the West End aren’t used to go to the East End where all people were black, so that made Amanda suspicious, because white people don't usually go to the East End. And she didn’t know that Jeffrey was from another city, and because he was white she related to the West End.

Back in those days the town was pretty much divided. The East End was blacks, the West End was whites. “I know you’re not from the East End.”

The time given in the book is a time where there was segregation. Segragation is racism because they separates black people from white people for the reason that according to white people, they were better than black so they couldn’t live together. This is bad because you unvalue someone in behalf of of the color of their skin, thinking you have the power over them, that you owe them and this is racism.]]> 2018-09-25 16:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/melody_erlea1/97f61fb6fkz0/wish/285639878 https://padlet.com/melody_erlea1/97f61fb6fkz0/wish/285675733 “ Not only that, but white kids just didn’t put their mouths where black kids had had theirs. Be it soda bottles, spoons or candy bars. “

In that time racism was something really present everywhere, there were the east end that was the black people and the West were the white people. Maniac was not racist, so when he bites mars bars (a black kid) chocolate, they all went crazy, because at that time it wasn’t normal white people do things where black people did also.

He looked at him funny. Mr. Beale knew what his passenger apparently didn’t: East End was East End and West End was West End, and the house this white lad was pointing to was filled with black people, just like every other house on up to Hector Street.”
everybody could see the segregation and the racism but Maniac, so when he said that a house filled of black people was his, Mr. Beale knew it wasn´t because he is white.]]> 2018-09-25 17:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/melody_erlea1/97f61fb6fkz0/wish/285677840 giovannilimeira99 https://padlet.com/melody_erlea1/97f61fb6fkz0/wish/285691458 "The Cobras were standing at Hector Street. Hector Street was the boundary between the East and West Ends. Or, to put it
another way, between the blacks and whites. Not that you never saw a white in the East End or a black in the West End.
People did cross the line now and then, especially if they were adults, and it was daylight." - Because black and white people didn't respect themselves and could be violent to each other. - "But nighttime, forget it. And if you were a kid, day or night, forget it. Unless you had business on the other side, such as a
sports team or school. But don't be lust strolling along, as if you belonged there, as if you weren't afraid, as if you didn't even
notice you were a different color from everybody around you."]]> 2018-09-25 17:38:02 UTC https://padlet.com/melody_erlea1/97f61fb6fkz0/wish/285691458 https://padlet.com/melody_erlea1/97f61fb6fkz0/wish/286618674 Henrique tiberio, Luis Felipe, Isadora, Maria Fernanda

"For the life of him, he couldn't figure why these East Enders called themselves black." This means that the society put people with different skin colors in a same groupnot thinking about who they are.

The new white kid”
This can be related to racism because the East End was known as a part of Two Mills that lived black people, and Maniac was white, so he started living with the Beales, and time passed, things were spread and then Maniac was the white kid from the East End.]]> 2018-09-27 16:34:55 UTC https://padlet.com/melody_erlea1/97f61fb6fkz0/wish/286625203 giovannilimeira99 https://padlet.com/melody_erlea1/97f61fb6fkz0/wish/286628677 "From then on, the baths usually took place at night. Sometimes Mrs. Beale would poke her head in and scare: one little black
girl, one little black boy, one medium white boy. And she would smile and wag her head and sigh: "Never saw such a tub." " - In this text, we can see that it is really uncommon to find 2 black people and 1 white person together, or in a bath, because of racism, they don't live in harmony.

It’s how you wanted it. Let’s keep it that way. NOW MOVE ON. Your kind’s waitin’”—he flung his finger westward—“up there.”

“And the man was croaking, ranting, not to Maniac now but to the people. “What happens when we go over there? Black is black! White is white! The sheep lie not with the lion! The sheep knows his own! His own kind!”

This black man was mad because a not only a white boy was and could step into the black neighbourhood but also no consequences happened, but if a black boy steps into the white neighbourhood serious things would happen.

Chapter 16“Maniac kept trying, but he still couldn’t see it, this color business”
" he didn’t figure he was any more white then the east Enders were black”

Maniac is saying he doesn’t understand racism, because he thinks everyone is equal, no color changes the person. And he also thinks that white people and black people are the same color.]]> 2018-11-14 16:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/melody_erlea1/97f61fb6fkz0/wish/304386658 https://padlet.com/melody_erlea1/97f61fb6fkz0/wish/304390371 “What happens when we go over there? Black is black! White is white!”
This man said that because he is scared. He mentions what happens when the black people go to the West End, they can get killed, they can get in prison, and other things, do he is trying to expel him, because of all the bad things the white people made to black people.]]> 2018-11-14 16:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/melody_erlea1/97f61fb6fkz0/wish/304390371 giovannilimeira99 https://padlet.com/melody_erlea1/97f61fb6fkz0/wish/304407335 "For the life of him, he couldn't figure why these East Enders called themselves black. He kept looking and looking, and the
colors he found were gingersnap and light fudge and dark fudge and acorn and butter rum and cinnamon and burnt orange.
But never licorice, which, to him, was real black." Here we can see that to Maniac the color black for people didn't really apply, since they weren't really black, and this can just be people trying to separate them into a specific and "bad" race.]]> 2018-11-14 16:55:28 UTC https://padlet.com/melody_erlea1/97f61fb6fkz0/wish/304407335 https://padlet.com/melody_erlea1/97f61fb6fkz0/wish/306770769 "Both sides were calling for him to come over. And then they were calling at each other, then yelling, then cursing. But nobody stepped off a curb, everybody kept moving north, an ugly, snarling black-and-white escort for the kid in the middle."  

In this situation, black people and white people started offending each other purely because of racism
