Quote: "They felt that it was much easier and safer to rob their own people, for they knew that white policemen never really searched diligently for Negroes who committed crimes against other Negroes"(14).
Significance: This quote is significant because it really shows how much racism Bigger lives through. Bigger sees the white people as very powerful people and robbing them would be very difficult. I believe Bigger is the way he is because he feels very threatened by the thought of white people having everything and him having nothing at all. If he robbed his own kind the police would not care because there black. It would be a different story if they robbed a white person because the white people think they are better then the black people so it is probably like breaking a law. I think Bigger is going to do something and it is not going to end to well.
