This poem represents the oppression put on the black man that we were never
given anything but we still stride for greatness and ask the lord to hear
our cries

This is one of many deep poems I have read in quite some time. It
characterizes men of all races and it speaks truth even today. It is
evident that the same still holds true today - through all the struggles
that the Black American man has endured. When will this world as we know it
will make every man equal (Rhetorical question). I love how he talked about
how this world is shaped and molded people into thinking about the
different races. My how some things never change. GOD help us all!

It seems like this poem is telling the story of the black man's wants and
needs.

I find that this poem characterizes a general feeling in African-American
writers of Bontemp's time of the simplicity and urgency of the black man's
needs. However, I do disagree with the characterization of "yellow men" as
"slant-eyed"
