So in the case of emmet till, he was just a 14 year old african american who was "accused" of "flirting" with a white women. Was is the true? probly not. BUT he was still kidnapped by a group of white man and was lynched. Btw lynched is a illegal public execution( google it, no words can describe how awful it is) He was given NO TRIAL or ANYTHING. It was murder and a HUGE unjustice to a kid. 

In Tom's case, he is accused of rape of a white women (It wasnt rape, she came on top of him, but was ashamed so she didnt admit it) He was given a trial, but no real chance(It didnt matter if he was able to go to court, the verdict would say he is guilty NO MATTER the evidence, because he is black)

Tom was sentenced to death but killed for "attempting to escape" and shot 17!! times (over-kill)

in Both cases, they didnt stand a chance because of the prejudice. No matter what, they would have been found guilty(even if they did not do anything at all) because their skin.

Again I was faced with choices I did not like, but I finally agreed. After all, my hate for my father was not so great and urgen
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Willing to do anything to leave the orphanage.

Explanation:

Richard Wright's memoir "Black Boy" details his upbringing from childhood through the events like his father's absence in the family and also his infidelity. Added to that, the family was experiencing poverty and even his father's dismissive treatment of his own family, his wife and children included.

When he mentions "<em>my hate for my father was not so great and urgent as my hate for the orphan home</em>", we can know for sure that he hated the orphanage extremely. As much as he hated his father for abandoning his family and living openly with another woman, he hated the orphanage more. So, he agreed to go to his father to ask for money so that they can go to his aunt's place in Arkansas. His contempt for the orphanage was such that he was willing to meet the man he hated the most if it means he will be out of the very same place he despises. This excerpt showed how much he was willing to do to leave the orphanage home.
