Response :
Griggs, Richard's old classmate was telling Richard that he needs to learn how to act towards whites. He tells Richard that he also hates white people but he can't show it because he has to eat. He means that white people basically ran the world at this time and in order to survive you would have to work for them. He then taught Richard the right way to act in front of whites. he also got a job for Richard with a white man from the north.
