Richard feels unlucky and underprivileged.
Richard isn't well-behaved.
Richard is extremely racist, The people around him are extremely racist. They are intolerant sometimes. Richard and his friends got into fights with white boys for just the reason that they weren't black.
Richard is resilient and though he has a hard, unfortunate life
Richard doesn't trust authority figures because his dad, one of the biggest authority figures in his life, left his mom for cheating on her. And he doesn't really trust people because he thinks they might be dishonest or hurtful like his dad.
