James Weldon Johnson

"The White Witch"
This poem is a warning about a white woman. Johnson talks about his encounter with a white woman, and he is warning other black men to stay away from them. He warns them not to be intrigued by her looks. He speaks of his own encounter with a white woman, and he must of had a bad experience. He wants to make sure his brothers do not make the same mistake that he made. This is kind of the same thing as McKay's "Look Within". Something may look good on the outside but in reality be rotten within.
