Throughout the entire book we have seen white people imposing troubles onto blacks, but this is not the case with Joe Starks. Joe represents the way life used to be. Joe represents power, wealth, control of people through his many actions. The main thing that represents this is through Joe Starks house. Listen to the way the book describes it “It had two stories with porches, banisters and such things. “this house is described like a slave owners house. Not only that but “the town looked like servants’ quarters”. Joe wanted to make sure everyone knew that he was in charge and that he controlled this town. Joe then proceeds to paint his house “a gloaty, sparkly white.” the color that the richest white farmers painted their plantations. “a desk like Mr. Hill or Mr. Galloway over in Maitland with one of those swing-around chairs to it.” Even the way he furnishes his house show his warmongering side. It does not just stop at his desk and chair. He then buys a “gold looking vase” an object which “anybody else would have been glad to put on their front-room table.”, but he does not use it for flowers. He uses it as his spit-cup. Everyone begins to realize the kind of person he is. “It was bad enough for white people, but when one of your own color” they start to see that he is no different from the white

According to press releases and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) lawsuit or settlement section the agency’s current priorities seems to be centered around cases where discrimination has occurred. Discrimination in the workplace is subject to federal laws as enforced by the EEOC and is strictly prohibited when based on an individual’s age, gender identity, race, religion, sex, skin color or sexual orientation (EEOC, n.d.). In order for enforcement of federal laws to take place, all claims have to undergo the EEOC complaint process. Once a discriminatory incident has taken place, then the next step is for a complaint to be file at the local or state EEO agency. Once that has occurred a investigation is initiated and ruling of the case has to be made within 180 days from the date it was initiated. If the complainant is unhappy with the ruling then they have 30 days from the ruling date or up to 300 days from the occurrence of the act to file a formal complaint with the EEOC (Mello, 2015).
