Arna Bontemps' "A Black Man Talks of Reaping"

Explanation:

Bontemps in this poem depicts the bitterness and discrimination felt by the blacks in racist America. The poet uses the metaphor of farming and plantation to portray the toil and labor of the blacks contrary to the White Americans who reap the benefits of their hard work. The poem is resentful in tone and via situational irony, focuses on the unbalance between the efforts that the blacks put in and what they get in return. The poet ironically points out the segregated behavior of the whites towards the hard work of the blacks developing an inferiority complex in them which frustrates them. The poet further questions the deeply rooted racism in American culture that is making the blacks a victim of their bitterness, inequity, and bigotry.
