Dr. Lincoln In I Know Where The Caged Bird Sings

I chose Dr. Lincoln because he shows how racist people were before in that time and how they could be given a lot and still not help them if they were black. I came across Dr. Lincoln in chapter 24 in a book called I Know Where The Caged Bird Sings. Dr. Lincoln is a man that went through school to get a degree to get a dentistry. Dr. Lincoln looks like a normal or in other words common white guy. He is a normal white guy because he has brown hair, blue eyes. He wears a white jacket because he is a dentist and he uses glasses when he works on people's mouths. Dr. Lincoln acts very racist and says a lot of racist stuff such as¨ I do not want to put my hand in a …… mouth.¨ Thoughts that Dr. Lincoln probably have is that he may not have to pay
back debts that he owes to black people like mayaś mom gave him some money so that his dentist building was not destroyed. Other white people do not mind Dr. Lincoln they actually think that he is a great dentist but most or all black people do not like him because no matter what you do he will never take in a patient that is black. Like I said before he can get anything big or small for a favor and then he still would not help them in any way shape or form. I chose Dr. lincoln because he is a very good example of how racist people were before to the blacks. As you read befor in my essay itś really easy to tell how racist they were.
