Forced Adulthood- Reflection

What sami said at the end of her comment that the mothers coldness could be a metaphor for the coldness of the Jim Crow laws stuck to me. I guess in a way the mother was preparing him for the future but i think it coulod have been handled differently...theres always a way to get a message across without hurting or making others feel inferior...
