When Angelou has a toothache and Momma goes into town and tries to get an appointment with the white dentist he says " I would rather stick my hand in a dog's mouth than in a nigger's." The offensive word and the quote itself is hateful. It helps to describe the hate towards blacks during this time. The fact that the dentist would choose treating a dog over treating someone with brown skin is ludicrous and only Momma can see that in this situation.
