The Boxing Match
When the narrator steps into the ring with the other fighters, they are blindfolded with white blindfolds, which is a metaphor for the white man blinding the black man to reality. Because the narrator and the other black boys are fighting each other for the entertainment of the white spectators, it shows that they are willing to degrade themselves for money. The narrator only sees this when his blindfold slips a little, allowing him to see the truth. This scene contributes to the overall meaning of this story by showing that no matter what the narrator does, the white man will always be in control of him.
