The issues raised by Hughes are concerned with African Americans but it can be said that as problem experienced by other marginalized ethnic groups. According to Hughes, the way they treat white people and black people are different. White people cannot be cursed. The curse is said to reflect on those who curse but this doesn’t applies to black people. When the Americans are dead, they will be cremated well not like Africans (black people). Africans are seen strangely in the American society. Democracy is merely words in their society as they haven’t experienced it. As I knew, this situation was experienced in India. The treatment between the ethnic group and the others were different there. The ethnic groups were even not allowed into temple those days. Even though, the situation has changed but there are still certain issues remaining unsolved there as stated by Hughes.
