Poetry Response

Negro
By Langston Hughes


This poem is a proud poem because the poet list all the things that white people insulted them with. Only the title "Negro" could show what the poet feels. He doesn't care about you calling Negro. He knows that he is Negro. A Negro who builds and fights your country. A Negro who is proud of where he came from. A Negro who is not afraid of you calling him of what he already is. A Negro with pride and maybe stronger than you.
