Have you read the essay Hughes was responding to, George Schuyler's, "The Negro Art Hokum"? Fascinating exchange, especially when read alongside Hughes's poetry and Schuyler's novel Black No More.
Yes, I did, and it held up. I have not read "Black No More" but am interested in it especially since it was deemed worthy of being adapted for a play in contemporary times.
Langston Hughes wrote "The Negro Artist And The Racial Mountain" in part to address Black snobs like this.
