Why does hally tell this joke to sam and willie?

MASTER HAROLD AND THE BOYS

Hally is talking about his father in an un-respectful way so Sam tells him that he should not refer to his father that way, Hally gets angry and tells him to sh## Up. Willie and Sam should be happy that his father, a white man, is their boss. Hally commands Sam to call him Master Harold like Willie does. Sam says hat if this is what Hally wants, he will never call him anything else again. Hally responds by claiming to be teaching Sam a lesson about respect, that's what servants should do, as his father says. Hally then tells Sam about a joke that he and his father find funny. His dad will say, “It’s not fair,” to which Hally replies, “What, chum?” His dad then responds, “A ni##er’s a#se” (55). Hally pokes at Sam, asking if he gets the joke.

Considering the context of the joke and the fact that Hally spits Sam in the face, it is clear that Hally's intention by telling the joke is to make Sam and Willie feel inferior to him and to white people, mocking the factions of blacks and their work as servants.

at nineteen years old, nicole c. kear's biggest concern is choosing a major--until she walks into a doctor's office in midtown manhattan and gets a life-changing diagnosis. she is going blind, courtesy of an eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa, and has only a decade or so before lights out. instead of making preparations as the doctor suggests, kear decides to carpe diem and make the most of the vision she has left. she joins circus school, tears through boyfriends, travels the world, and through all these hi-jinks, she keeps her vision loss a secret.

when kear becomes a mother, just a few years shy of her vision's expiration date, she amends her carpe diem strategy, giving up recklessness in order to relish every moment with her kids. her secret, though, is harder to surrender - and as her vision deteriorates, harder to keep hidden. as her world grows blurred, one thing becomes clear: no matter how hard she fights, she won't win the battle against blindness. but if she comes clean with her secret, and comes to terms with the loss, she can still win her happy ending
