Is He Racist??

In my opinion from reading the story Heart of Darkness, by Conrad, I might have to say that Conrad can be considered racist in my book. One thing that upsets me about Conrad is that he refers to black people as “savages”, this is why I feel he is racist. People do not refer to humans as “savages”, animals are better known to be called savages. The story might state that Conrad is careful with his words, but that is really not so, because I feel he says things with out thinking, or without any care in the world. “The thought of their humanity like yours ugly”, When saying this Conrad is referring to black people once again. Conrad feels that all blacks are considered to be ugly, and that indeed is completely wrong. Conrad is considered to be “a bloody racist”, and indeed, while reading this story one will see that he lives up to this title. Conrad describes a black man as being “strings of dusty niggers with splay feet”. These descriptions of the way Conrad views black people, are all descriptions that would lead me, or any other reader to feel that Conrad is a nasty racist. He’s a person who describes people to be something they are totally not. He talks about people with out knowing them, and with out any type of care in the world. So if you did ask me if Conrad was a racist, I would definitely respond YES, I do feel that Conrad is “a bloody racist”.
