Langston Hughes approaches poetry in such a unique way. The rhythm to the poem enhances the sound as the reader reads on.
Nevertheless, the poem subject was basically about the racial inequality, specifically pertaining to the lives of African Americans. He talks about the American Dream. His standpoint is that people (such as government and ordinary people) have an idea for how and what the American Dream should be in America, unfortunately no one seems to reach that status in life. Also, if there are people actually living that Dream Life then they're the rich people that should be lending a helping hand to those in need. However, this country speaks often and is supposedly built upon freedom, equality and etc. Whereas in actuality its the total opposite. Its like this country made all of these promises that they didn't keep. Its not equal or else there wouldn't be such a large gap if any at all between the rich and the poor.
All that Blacks had to go through and they still are suffering after they have been legally free from captivity. They as a people have to try to gain these rights and privileges.
