Langston Hughes

Sure I know you!

You're a White Man.

I'm a Negro.

You take all the best jobs

And leave us the garbage cans to empty and

The halls to clean.

You have a good time in a big house at Palm Beach

And rent us the back alleys

And the dirty slums.

You enjoy Rome-

And take Ethiopia.

White Man! White Man!

Let Louis Armstrong play it-

And you copyright it

And make the money.

You're the smart guy, White Man!

You got everything!

But now, I hear your name ain't really White Man.

I hear it's something Marx wrote down

Fifty years ago-

That rich people don't like to read.

Is that true, White Man?

Is your name in a book

Called the Communist Manifesto?

Is your name spelled C-A-P-I-T-A-L-I-S-T?

Are you always a White Man? Huh?

There are alternatives to this entirely
