I wish he would have lived to see that change is taking place and we have that Black President but we still have a long road ahead of us in creating (ONE) among mankind. Ahh but now we know there is hope and definitely possibility, so we move forward with a positive view.

Even though Obama is our President and Black, the sin of man is still loud and clear! When one has to overcome all the obsticals in life and some being the way we look, dress, or that color of our skin being different than what is considered acceptable. Life goes on! Good write and I am sorry that he didn't live long enough to see history made. 'God Bless America'

Thank God for Obama who has taught us that little black boys and girls can indeed grow up to be presidents. Hughs died in 1967 and when he wrote those words they were so applicable but a new day has come. And though there is still struggle and strain we have made some great gain.

very powerful even with the voice of a child. something that is still kind of true today, except it may not seem that way on the surface. but thru other more subtle things minority children are still held down.

i think it's a great poem that explains the ways black children were basically rejected of their freedom wish.

I do agree with Quiet black people like us like to have fun and we do fight our way through. I was watching Def poetry on YOUTUBE.com on this poet name Shinhah I don't know if I spelled it wrong. His title was 'Sick and Tired.' He said in his poem that he was sick and tired of this and that of doing things. He think its the truth of the whole thing. Well to be honest its not that was his opinions except the last verse because of his ignorance. Get the chance to watch it and hear it if you think his poem is the truth or his ignorant opinions. Oh this is a good poem really good.

ya'll crazy but true. i mean it's not all black people who act that way. stereotypes. duh! ! ! but alot of black people do act that way because we got the freedom to do what we want to now and so we takin advantage of it. black people do have to work harder for what we have because there is alot of people who don't want to see black people succeed. u gotta think tho.....black people done been through alot to get where we at now....so every chance we get.....we have fun cuz u never know what happens next. thats why black people act crazy. but um..........for tha carol chick...or dude.....u did need 2 calm down because people still look down on black people to this day. never gon stop. but u sound like u black cuz u sayin 'we' but it also sound like u don't wanna b black cuz tha stuff u sayin.
NeWaYz...................im out. BLACK POWER! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! lol
