1.  I think that clearly, Marc and Bryon's world is different because they still have the same mentality from the 70's. They continu to think that there are and should be differences in the context of races. They treat people differently because they have been raised that way. It pretty much means that they will stand up for who they are and not tolerate any justice with people not similar to them. Obviously this causes a lot of racism and injustice in the society. A lot of violence can be anticipated for the majority of the novel.

2. Mike is a good man and does not care about different races. He has absolutely no trouble of helping the woman when she gets attacked. Unfortunetly, she was surrounded by black people so she could not demonstrate her feelings to the white man saving her. She had no choice to tell others to beat him up because of his color. She also had no choice to show that black people are better than the white. Back then they were treated differently and were established in different social classes.

3. In the second chapter, Mark learns all about Mike's story. After this, he tells him that if the same thing would have happened to him, he would never forgive the attacker. I personally believe that Mark will convince Mike to get his revenge on those black people. I also forshadow that Mark will get attacked by a gang. He will try his absolute best to get his revenge and not get played like that ever again.
