What role does violence against black people play in both texts? 
In both texts blacks are known as a ruthless race which display violence as their nature. In Malcolm X he talked about how cops would always blame blacks even though they weren't at fault or their crime wasn't as big. For example when Malcolm gets caught doing robberies with Sophia he was sentenced for 10 years while Sophia was only punished for 5 years for doing the same crime. In Hess and Ganja they were drinking blood and killing people without caring. These acts make them stood out just like violence made the blacks stood out in 1900's.
