[PW] Piece by Langston Hughes/Jesse B. Semple - "white man's but".

[HardestyReference.24520792 at bloglines.com]

This question comes from a school teacher via his school librarian.

The
teacher remembers reading a work that he believes was by Langston Hughes,
possibly written under the pen name of Jesse B. Semple.  It may have been
a letter to the editor or essay, or may have been a poem, but he seems to
think it was prose.

His only concrete recollection is that the phrase "white
man's but" recurs in the piece several times, in reference to whites offering
something to blacks with a condition, a "but".

Does this ring any bells,
W0mbats?  So far, we have tried LitFinder, Google, and Academic Search Elite.
