Poem explores the themes of romanticisation versus reality of the situation. In the poem, the poet talks about the difference in the sight of a white person and an African-American. To a white American, the black belt or Southern America looks romanticized or dreamy. They are unable to overcome their arrogance and look at the reality of the suffering that the African-American community faces. The poem also talks about the racial discrimination highly prevalent in the country. The black community lives sub par lives because of the discrimination against their race.
