In Explanation of Our Times
By Langston Hughes The folks with no titles in front of their names
all over the world
are raring up and talking back
to the folks called Mister. You say you thought everybody was called Mister? No, son, not everybody.
In Dixie, often they won’t call Negroes Mister.
In China before what happened
They had no intention of calling coolies Mister.|
