Racism is a fatal flaw in human society. Entire cultures could be eradicated or brought to the brink of destruction, as when Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazi regime, unleashed the Holocaust. In his efforts to drive the Jews to extinction, he captured and imprisoned Jews in concentration camps separated from the rest of society. Karl Linder, in his efforts to keep the community of Clybourne Park "pure" for his growing family, attempts to assert his dominance over the Stoller family (the estranged Caucasian family) and the Younger family (the African-American family that sets in), as if trying to create a reverse concentration camp. He uses deceptive language, racial propaganda, and his position of power to influence the world around him. First of all, through messages highlighted in his speech, Karl Linder expresses his concerns regarding the appearance of an African-American family in a delicate form to the Stoller family. . On page twenty-eight, Karl comments that the Youngers are "one hundred percent [black]." And the one in Hamilton Park (community where the Youngers moved from) had “unsavory characters” (Norris). This implies that the Youths come from a criminal society and as a residence of the community, they must have a similar character. In comparison, Act Two's Steve uses jokes to downplay his racial concerns, for example on page seventy-five, Steve states that an African American rapes a white man in a prison (Norris). After seeing their efforts in vain, Karl and Steve abandon their actions and say what is on their mind, causing chaos in both cases. Unlike these two characters, Bev and Lindsey in their respective acts. They play the voice of reason in both cases, but both... middle of paper... fall apart. After his failure, he moves to Rosemont, which can be inferred from Kathy's dialogue on page sixty-one. It also reveals that Kathy is Karl and Betsy's unborn child in the first act. Given that he was proven correct in his assumptions about the gentrification of Clybourne Park, a viewer may disagree with how Karl handled the integration situation, but he cannot say that it was unfounded .
