The author photo is captioned "James Weldon Johnson with the mustache he grew after adopting the white identity." JWJ never adopted a white identity; only the protagonist in the novel does that. I don't know how to edit photo captions or I would change it. Also, I agree with the comment below about the spelling of "coloured." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.189.96.117 ( talk) 17:16, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
The narrator of this novel is not a slave to the "Rich White Gentleman." He is hired as personal assistant/companion and musician, and is free to leave when he chooses. (Which he eventually does.) This novel takes place during the late 19th and early 20th century, when slavery has already been abolished. --Dada77 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dada77 ( talk • contribs) 05:58, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
Someone has definitely edited this to add inappropriate content. "Penis" is not in the title, "Brandon" is not the author, and "Boner" is not a well-known publishing house. Not sure of the corrections to be made, but pretty sure they are needed.
