Negro Dancers

Rating: 2.8


'Me an' ma baby's
Got two mo' ways,
Two mo' ways to do de Charleston! '
Da, da,
Da, da, da!
Two mo' ways to do de Charleston! '
Soft light on the tables,
Music gay,
Brown-skin steppers
In a cabaret.
White folks, laugh!
White folks, pray!
'Me an' ma baby's
Got two mo' ways,
Two mo' ways to do de
Charleston! '

I can hear the music, feel the energy. Another time, another world.

Through this small poem, the poet succinctly brings to fore the presence of racism in the attitude of whites against the blacks. This mind-set needs to be thrown out of the civilized world.
