"So will my page be colored that i write?"
this is quote from THEME FOR ENGLISH B.
Actually i read again when i wrote a quote. this is ridiculous becuase we still have racism to other people. i have many black friends, and i've never look them down or speak bad way to them, because i respect them. color doesn't mean their status.
"So will my page be colored that i write?" when i read this part. i dont' know what i have to say to my black friends. just because he is a black guy and the letter what he wrote would be colored? obviously, when he wrote this part, his heart was probably beating because of sadness.
More sad thing is that it really happenes around me. i stay on campus and i have black friends and white friends. when i hang out with white friends, sometimes they look down black people, or they say i don't like black people to me. i think because of their reaction, black people have bad emotion to white people.
i have searched about Langston Huges a bit. he was a poet, novelist, playwrite, short story writer. and also he is a GOOD LOOKING GUY! he is smart and has many friends. and he wrote extremely good poem. for this kind of person. we have to look up to it, not look down to it.
OUR FIRST CHAPTER TOPIC IS "ARE WE DIFFERENT?" THIS IS A GOOD START. WE CAN LEARN ABOUT A LOT OF ISSUES ABOUT RACISM.

Look up and look down
First of all, I should say the phrase should be "look down upon/on".
I think your experience with black people has told you that they are also quite a good guy and there is no reason for white friends to look down upon them, especially if that black guy is as excellent as Langston Hughes.
As for the issue of "look up" or "look down", I think I suggest to avoid both. Everyone is the same as you, so you don't need to admire certain people just because they are talent in certain aspects, and also don't need to look down upon some people for any reason. Take everyone with an equal attitude, and tell yourself you can be as excellent as that guy and this guy is also as excellent as myself.
Sometimes I really can't understand the fans of any kind.
but the thing is that white people usually look black people down because of their color or their status back then.
so why i cannot say look them down?
