Max's Speech In Defense of Bigger Thomas (Native Son)

I think that Max truly wanted people to stop being discriminant towards African American's just because they have a different skin color. He tried to show the others in the court house that it was them, the whites that made them (African American's) into these kind of people. He tries his best to show others that it is not in the African American's nature to be like Thomas Bigger, to run around killing people and such, that it was them who influenced them to take such a path in order to feel significant at all in their daily lives. Although his speech was to defend Bigger, I think it was a bit too much to make it so long.
