I think they symbolize the distorted image that many blacks have of themselves living in a society appropriated and dominated by whites. Who are they supposed to be? Do they follow the white model of the well behaved submissive subordinate or the wild savage? The narrator wonders if perhaps there is another identity possible that is their own.
