This paper aims to study the bad effects of racism on blacks’ psychology, resulting in the acceptance of racial and negative social constructed stereotypes such as considering oneself as being “a bad man”. The acceptance of such negative stereotypes cast on blacks by white people, is possible because some blacks reject the fact of “feelin blue”. This aspect highlights the use, need and importance of blues in blacks’ lives in a racist environment. Following a sociocriticism, psychoanalytic, and stylistics perspectives; this paper reveals that blues is very important in blacks’ lives and especially in their relationship with racist white people because without blues they end up thinking they are “bad” persons. That is why Hughes writes a blues poem in order to justify how much blues has been important for blacks to overcome and bear the racist society of white people considered as “the edge of hell”.
