Very true brandy.
You know, I was waiting for a good time to say this, I might as well do it now.
I'm only fourteen years old, now I know some of you may be quite suprised, but let me explain myself.
Ever since I had a memory my mom has read me langston Hughes every niight before I went to bed. Then she died when I was ei...ght. Langston is the biggest way I can connect with her. I feel so moved by his works I felt I should make this page, find people with my interests.
So now you know! I hope this doesn't change anything, still the same guy!
Langston Hughes
Let America be America again:I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart,
I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars.
I am the red man driven from the land,
I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek--
And finding only the same old stupid plan
Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak.

In this poem he is saying how... things were back then, about 80-90 years ago. Yet if you think hard about it some of this describes America today. After 9/11 and the problems at the Mexican border, it is harder for immagrants to make a living here. Also, relating to the poor white man, sounds like the recession were in with the poverty rate going up. I find it sickening that America is still this ugly portait painted generations ago.
