Mathabane Quote

This famous quote relates to Mark's life in the sense that he feels as if every white person that was against the harsh treatment of African Americans during the time period of the book always said things related to blaming the world for the chaos. They should really be looking in the mirror for a problem, because problems are solved by one person doing their part and that act of morality branching off to the rest of society. This is true for today as well, because for each problem going on in the world from the BP oil spill, to natural resources not being conserved everyone is just blaming society as a whole rather than acting and doing their part to help us live in a better world.
