The pieces of literature shows how white people treated black African.  

Explanation:

Your beautiful black blood that irrigates the fields

The blood of your sweat

The sweat of your work

The work of your slavery

Africa, tell me Africa

2. The primary theme of "Telephone Conversation" is racism. In the poem, a Black man tries to confirm a housing arrangement with a landlady over the phone. He wishes to inform the landlady that he is Black, and a ridiculous conversation ensues regarding how dark his skin color is. Lines from the poem that show how the landlady degraded the African's color of skin.

Considerate she was, varying the emphasis--

"ARE YOU DARK? OR VERY LIGHT?" Revelation came.

"You mean--like plain or milk chocolate?"

Her assent was clinical, crushing in its light

Impersonality. Rapidly, wave-length adjusted,

I chose. "West African sepia"--and as afterthought,

"Down in my passport." Silence for spectroscopic

Flight of fancy, till truthfulness clanged her accent

Hard on the mouthpiece. "WHAT'S THAT?" conceding

"DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS." "Like brunette."

"THAT'S DARK, ISN'T IT?" "Not altogether.

The No Witchcraft For Sale - has a theme that shows the strong differences in cultures. In the story, witch doctors use their supernatural powers to help heal patients; along with their imminent knowledge of the environment. In Doris Lessing short story,  there are three essential themes to the story. One is love. It was shown in the part where Gideon got a snake venom. He used his extensive knowledge in his herbs of the environment to save Teddy's eyes. Second is loyalty and the third one is Trustworthiness.  

The Moment Before the Gun Went Off" by Nadine Gordimer depicts the  practice of  the Apartheid. undesired characteristics.  

The Apartheid Practice

Starting around 1950, the government of South Africa adopted a number of laws which introduced forced segregation between people belonging to different ethnic groups.

In practice, this meant that non-white South Africans - a majority of the population - were forced to live in separate areas and use separate public institutions. Even marriages and relationships between people of different ethnicities were outlawed. All of these laws had terrible human consequences, as people were forced away from their homes and families were torn apart.

In the short story, the protagonist , Van der Vyver raises and protects his territory and the community of black people who work for him. It is shown that Van der Vyver employs the the practice of Apartheid to animals and the black workers. One practice is "culling", which means separating animals from a group according to desired or undesired characteristics.

It is noticeable how white people treated the Black Africans. White are separated from blacks. If you are white, you are classified as a rich person with power. If you are black you are belong to the worker category. Likewise with how the protagonist treated the animals. They were separated according to the characteristics they have.

The Prisoner Who Were Glasses is a the story describes the political development of a glasses-wearing character named Brille, who transforms from a man who was originally attracted to the clean and attractive theories of anti-apartheid political activism into a man who is an active and practicing member of a resistance group, and who realizes how to use and wield political power to achieve tangible results.

In the poems, African are natives of Africa. They originally inhabited Africa. Before the Westerners colonized the countries of the continent of Africa, the natives had the freedom. They were the owners of the agricultural lands. They might not be knowledgeable with the civilization but they have their own culture and tradition.  

When the Western Colonizers discovered and found the available natural resources, white people began to come and visit then conquer the countries.  

No matter how African fought for their rights as natives of the lands, Westerners were powerful. They forced the natives to practice and adopt the WESTERERS way. The colonizers tried to erase their identities as natives of the lands. However, the Africans, as the years passed by never forget their roots and still practices some of the traditions they had up to present.

The short stories, "Africa," "Telephone Conversation," and the poems: In the films No Witchcraft for Sale, The Moment the Gun Went Off, and The Prisoner with the Glasses, colonialism, enslavement, and social racism are all themes. The literary works illustrate how black Africans were treated by white Europeans.

The standards you set for yourself, your dignity can also be referred to as pride.

In his address to Africans, Diop highlights the issues that colonialism left behind and calls on them to bring about freedom and change. lines from the poem Africa that illustrate the difficulties and labor that colonialism brought.

Your lovely, dark blood, which irrigates the fields

The perspiration on your blood

The tears of your labor

The fruits of your servitude

Tell me about Africa.

Therefore, The literary works illustrate how black Africans were treated by white Europeans.

Rosa Parks
BY NIKKI GIOVANNI
This is for the Pullman Porters who organized when people said
they couldn't. And carried the Pittsburgh Courier and the Chicago
Defender to the Black Americans in the South so they would
know they were not alone. This is for the Pullman Porters who
helped Thurgood Marshall go south and come back north to fight
the fight that resulted in Brown v. Board of Education because
even though Kansas is west and even though Topeka is the birth-
place of Gwendolyn Brooks, who wrote the powerful "The
Chicago Defender Sends a Man to Little Rock," it was the
Pullman Porters who whispered to the traveling men both
the Blues Men and the "Race" Men so that they both would
know what was going on. This is for the Pullman Porters who
smiled as if they were happy and laughed like they were tickled
when some folks were around and who silently rejoiced in 1954
when the Supreme Court announced its 9—0 decision that "sepa-
rate is inherently unequal." This is for the Pullman Porters who
smiled and welcomed a fourteen-year-old boy onto their train in
1955. They noticed his slight limp that he tried to disguise with a
doo-wop walk; they noticed his stutter and probably understood
why his mother wanted him out of Chicago during the summer
when school was out. Fourteen-year-old Black boys with limps
and stutters are apt to try to prove themselves in dangerous ways
when mothers aren't around to look after them. So this is for the
Pullman Porters who looked over that fourteen-year-old while
the train rolled the reverse of the Blues Highway from Chicago to
St. Louis to Memphis to Mississippi. This is for the men who kept
him safe; and if Emmett Till had been able to stay on a train all
summer he would have maybe grown a bit of a paunch, certainly
lost his hair, probably have worn bifocals and bounced his grand-
children on his knee telling them about his summer riding the
rails. But he had to get off the train. And ended up in Money,
Mississippi. And was horribly, brutally, inexcusably, and unac-
ceptably murdered. This is for the Pullman Porters who, when the
sheriff was trying to get the body secretly buried, got Emmett's
body on the northbound train, got his body home to Chicago,
where his mother said: I want the world to see what they did
to my boy. And this is for all the mothers who cried. And this is
for all the people who said Never Again. And this is about Rosa
Parks whose feet were not so tired, it had been, after all, an ordi-
nary day, until the bus driver gave her the opportunity to make
history. This is about Mrs. Rosa Parks from Tuskegee, Alabama,
who was also the field secretary of the NAACP. This is about the
moment Rosa Parks shouldered her cross, put her worldly goods
aside, was willing to sacrifice her life, so that that young man in
Money, Mississippi, who had been so well protected by the
Pullman Porters, would not have died in vain. When Mrs. Parks
said "NO" a passionate movement was begun. No longer would
there be a reliance on the law; there was a higher law. When Mrs.
Parks brought that light of hers to expose the evil of the system,
the sun came and rested on her shoulders bringing the heat and
the light of truth. Others would follow Mrs. Parks. Four young
men in Greensboro, North Carolina, would also say No. Great
voices would be raised singing the praises of God and exhorting
us "to forgive those who trespass against us." But it was the
Pullman Porters who safely got Emmett to his granduncle and it
was Mrs. Rosa Parks who could not stand that death. And in not
being able to stand it. She sat back down.

Read the excerpt from “Good Country People.” Mrs. Hopewell liked to tell people...how she had happened to hire the Freemans in the first place and how they were a godsend to her and how she had had them four years. The reason for her keeping them so long was that they were...good country people ...Before the Freemans she had averaged one tenant family a year...Mrs. Hopewell, who had divorced her husband long ago, needed someone to walk over the fields with her; and when Joy had to be impressed for these services, her remarks were usually so ugly and her face so glum... that Mrs. Hopewell would say, “If you can’t come pleasantly, I don’t want you at all,” to which the girl, standing square and rigid-shouldered with her neck thrust slightly forward, would reply, “If you want me, here I am—LIKE I AM.” Based on the excerpt, what inferences can be made about the story’s setting?
