i definately agree with sean on this one. justice being blind to color back
then in Harlem is a nice thought but hardly true or practical. Most of
Hughes's poetry is about the racism he experienced so it would make no
sense for him to write a poem saying that it doesn't matter to the law what
race you are. For example in the poem " Ballad of the Landlord" it is said
that a tenant gets 90 days in jail for threatening a white landlord, an
obvious example of racism. sorry bobby but i think that you are wrong on
this one.

Sorry sean your dead wrong it's opposite, justice used to be biased by
basing it's decision on looks instead of which ones right or wrong. Now
it's "blind" because it doesn't judge on color. I thin that's kind of
obvious. Sorry if that's insulting.

The poem is short, but it gets the point across. Hughes is saying that
blacks "are wise" to the fact that justice is blind. He says that maybe,
once, justice "had eyes," but now it is blind to the blacks. He is saying
that the blacks don't get justice like the whites. I liked this poem.

justice cannot find it's way to the blacks or blacks are not able to
recieve the justice for equality. Justice was takin away, or blinded, from
the blacks when it's eyes were takin out, by the white ppl i guess...??? i
dont know...

brilliant work.

I cannot believe that this poem has been viewed 10,585 times and no one has
commented on it. Well, this poem is an excellent poem, it is simple and yet
it shows depth and meaning.
