Going to Meet the Man

This story made me sick. I understand the writers purpose in showing us the way that people in that time where raised to feel and believe. I did not see it as Baldwin making an excuse it was more of here are the facts now what are we going to do with them. But the character in this story, Jesse, made me want to crack  HIS head open with a pistol. No human being should be treated the way he treats people. Including but not limited to the African American people under his "ruler ship."  I think that he pretty much did not treat anyone well, he was just a self righteous, self absorbed horrible person. From his reaction at that hanging as a child I believe that he would have turned out to be a horrible person weather or not he'd been raised by racist parents.
