Morals

I think that Richard taught himself the morals he lived by.  Throughout his life Richard was always in a conflict with some higher authority because he didn't not tolerate being treated badly for no reason.  Most kids around him at the time had listen to the teachings of the church and their parents to know that you have to do whatever and adult says when they say it, and you have to act a certain way to white people.  Wright didn't pick up on any of this.  He was always against going to church, and never saw the importance of going to school.  The reading states how morals from schooling or church related things, but Richard really didn't follow any of this.  Ironically, he seemed to have more morals than all of his friends that were brought up this way.  Richard could never justify stealing or letting himself succumb to the white, but many of black accepted it as a way of living.  I don't really know how Richard was able to teach himself so many advanced logics about life at such a young age, but I guess that just what makes him such a unique person for the time.
