In the opening scene, Bono tells Troy that he asked his boss, " Why you got the white mens driving and the colored lifting?" Using evidence from the text, explain why Troy asked that question.

Troy wants a job as a driver.

TROY You think only white fellows got sense enough to drive a truck. That ain't no paper job! Hell, anybody can drive a truck. How come you got all whites driving and the colored lifting? He told me "take it to the union." Well, hell, that's what I done! Now they wanna come up with this pack of lies.

TROY Brownie don't understand nothing. All I want them to do is change the job description. Give everybody a chance to drive the truck. Brownie can’t see that. He ain't got that much sense.
