Slogs is the town butcher. He often hangs out at the pub with Blacky’s father. He laughs the loudest out of all the pub patrons when Big Mac tells a racist joke. Towards the end of the novel, Blacky realizes that Slogs is the one who wrote the racist graffiti on the jetty. This realization is key to Blacky’s growing awareness of the commonplace and deadly racism prevalent in his town. While knowing Slogs’s responsibility initially makes Blacky feel hopeless to fight racism, the knowledge eventually drives Blacky toward the important act of painting over the graffiti.
