The poem finishes by arguing that "it's white of them to give what tantamounts to [an integrated world], and makes us all, for what that's worth, separate but equal where it counts." It alludes to the separations of Heaven and Hell after death despite mortal bodies being segregated by race.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1929-30 Description An account of the resource The title of this poem uses a derogatory racial slur to describe its main character. The narrator of this poem relays the time he saw a black man in heaven. This black man is dressed in "crimson satin things" with "golden teeth" and with "jeweled fingers;" he is dressed in riches, yet also in a stereotypically tribal manner. This man is grinning as "a grave white man" performs labor "at his feet."
