Not all things in life can be earned, instead it takes a timely process and one can make compromises but all in all it never changes anything. "Roll of thunder hear my cry over the water bye and bye ole man comen down the line whip in hand to beat me down but I aint gonna make me turn 'round" (242). For years and years African Americans who have lived during slavery thought that once they were free it would set them equal to whites. But sadly it didn't, owning any land or anything of financial value made it as though colored folks were just giving power made white people anger and as. A result. Lynching came to pass, mass murders of africans had increased to the point where it hushed them into silence. The author Mildred D Taylor of "Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry", shows uses fear and conflict to show that their is a deeper meaning to having colored skin.
          
          As an a African American one must understand that having fear. Makes colored people more human. An example of this would be when Cassie had gotten thrown into the street but Mr. Simmons, "You can't watch where you are going. Get off the road, maybe that way you won't be bumping into decent white folks with your nasty self"(114 Taylor). During this part of the novel Cassie and her brother Stacy went to a town called Strawberry and since they were colored folks, when they went to the grocery store it. Had taken them moe then enough time because they had to wait. But Cassie, who had no patience combined with a big mouth had. A couple of words to say making them kicked out the store, where she had bumped into a young white lady name Lillian Jean, who was not fond Cassie bumping into her, Cassie would not listen to her and got thrown into the street by Lillian father and forced to apologized. This is important to the moral because due to the fact that she was in the predicament, which allowed her fear and anger to slip out, she had to keep her mouth shut and experience her lost innocence quietly and the hard way. Another example would be when Stacy's. Friend TJ Avery had got involved with two 18 year old white boys who did not have good influence . "They brung him by the house and even treated him friendly like, but when he was gone they had laughed at him"(197 Taylor). TJ thought that being friend with the two boys would give him power when in fact it didn't, he was just getting played. TJ feared that when Cassie and Stacy had stopped talking to him he would be nothing. Instead of talking with them, he digged a bigger hole for his grave, by hanging out with the boys RW and Melvin. His fear got the best of him and rushed him to the wrong side, which will later get him in so much trouble that it would endanger his life. 
          
          With the constant action of conflict in "Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry" it added more of a conclusion to how far colored folks could go before it was too late. An example of this would be TJ had showed up at Cassie and Stacy's house pleading for help. " TJ eyes dimmed then undoing his shirt and then pulled the shirt open and stared down at his stomach 'Lord TJ!'" (244 Taylor). On his stomach their where purple and blue marks indicated that he had been beaten ed, turns out RW and Melvin had beat him up after TJ had threatened to tell that they had murdered Mr. Barnett. This goes back toward the conflict because due to the fact that he was in a lot of trouble because there was a murdered white man TJ was no longer safe, he was a wanted boy. Another example of conflict would be when all the white people had gathered around the Averys place asking for TJ. "Come on outa there, we want that murdering nigger of y'alls" (251 Taylor). TJ was in a lot of trouble due to the fact that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, not only was there a dead white man but there was also the fact that all fingers were pointed toward TJ and that was bad. This goes back toward the moral because the conflict of the murder made african americans hope that justice would be serve fairly instead of killing an innocent young child.
