As Elizabeth Dunbar correctly pointed out Raciscm was a common thing in his time, but i have to say that we all seem to have a prejudice of some sort. I speak as a free thinking white male and i like to consider myself as an individual. But because of my individualality i experience violent comments but i rationalize it by saying well they don't know any better. Whether one is Black, White fat or thin, long hair short hair there will always be oppositon. My point is that you don't have to be Black to experience racism it is in built in us all as humans. We can only learn to be more tolerant of differences to ourselves. Some learn it quicker than others and for some it is too late. Yes the time of Poe was predominately racist we cannot blame such individuals only the ones they followed and looked up to.
