the poet persona narrates his experience at baltimore.the narraion sounds more like what one would say to a psychiatrics. he talks about the disillusionment he felt by that little white boy's actions.his rhyming of the word 'bigger' and 'nigger' also tell us a lot about racism. the little boy subconsciouly feels more superior to the poet persona even though he is just a 'whit bigger'.Since, the poet persona declares that he was 8 when this incidence took place, it certainly gives us an insight into racism being a thing passed down between generations.
