Title. Justice for the black community from 1929-1964 in America was a long and winding journey. The Great Depression, Brown v. Board of Education and the Civil Rights Movement are clear demonstrations of the atrocities, struggles and violence that the black community unfortunately had to endure during those massive cultural changes that were occurring in the United States at the time. time to survive. Here in the book Song of Solomon by Tony Morrison, the character Guitar Baines is a representation of the justice that the black community sought during and after the abolition of segregation, while also indicating a black individual who must fight against the injustices of racism in America . Accordingly, Morison, therefore, Morrison seeks to bring to light the effects that violence was having on individuals who saw these atrocities happening in their community, but believed that justice could only be served by perpetrating those same violent acts that had been committed against their oppressors. . In turn, Morrison writes: “This means that a black man is a victim of crime only when a white man says he is. Only then. If there was anything like or close to justice and courts when a cracker kills a nigger, there shouldn't be the Seven Days. But it isn't there; that's how we are.” (160). Consequently, when Morrison uses the spondee “bogeyman,” which reinforces the connotation of the word “victim,” he used the character Guitar as a representation of the views a black individual had towards the American justice system. Therefore, Guitar signifies the justice that the black community hoped to experience after desegregation, but unfortunately never received due to the racism still thriving in America. Therefore, it is within this chapter that we see Guitar's character represent a battle between the fight for justice and the psychological effects that racism has had on how some members of the black community felt that justice should be served in America. This in turn drove a black individual to commit violent acts against his oppressors. The alliteration in the words “cracker kills” intensifies the tone of hatred to the connotation of the word “Nigger”. Furthermore, the connotation of the words “justice” and “courts” adds a disturbing image to the “Seven Days” spondee. Furthermore, illustrating that the destructive nature found in racism has unfortunately turned those individuals of color who sought justice for their community into oppressors believing that justice and violence are one and the same.
