"His cultural heritage"
Wright says that hating the Jews is part of his cultural heritage. He says this after he lists some of the rhymes that the black children would chant at the Jews. He says that it is ok for the children to taunt the Jews like this, they will not get into trouble for doing it. I think that it is ok for them to do this because they feel like they need to take their anger and their experiences of being mistreated and taunted out on someone. And the main other group around them that is different from them in some way is the Jewish community. It has become part of the culture because Wright has heard it since he was little, so of course he thinks it's ok. It has been happening around him for so long, and he learned from that example.
