I don’t think Faulkner was necessarily prejudice. I mean in his time when he was younger in the 1920’s he probably viewed African Americans the way everyone else did. That was the way that he was brought up. Like today we a lot of people view things similarly. Obviously there is controversy. But the similar views is because of the way we are brought up. Like most people around here are brought up with good morals because that’s the way we wee taught. Faulkner was taught how to view African Americans. In the story “That Evening Sun” he makes the white family nice to Nancy, well except for the mom. This shows that not all African Americans were treated poorly. Maybe the people who he was around felt superior to African Americans but they didn’t treat them horrible. Just because he uses the “n” word in his stories doesn’t make him prejudice because it allows the readers to understand what life was like. There must be some truth in all stories even if they are fiction. I think that’s what kind of writer he was. He just put truth into his stories. I think people should see that he was just trying to show us what we may have never knew.
