SOCIAL ACTION POEM racism...

By what sends
the white kids
I ain't sent
I know I can't
be President.

What don't bug
them white kids
sure bugs me
We know everybody
ain't free.

Lies written down
for white folks
ain't for us a-tall:
Liberty And Justice
Huh! For All?


This poem is by Langston Hughes 
After reading this poem it makes me think of how racist life must have been when blacks and whites dis-liked each other. I just don't see why though.  One line in this poem really speaks volume to me and thats "liberty and just huh--for all"? To me it sounds like he is saying wow you really think this means for everybody psh.  not really
