Johnson uses sarcasm in this poem as he expresses the opposite of what he means. When he says "pile on the Black Man's Burden", and gives examples of how people can make black men more miserable than they already are ("his wail with laughter drown"), he is using sarcasm. He clearly does not want people to pile on this burden and make black men's lives harder, but he is saying that people should do it to show them how ridiculous it sounds and to point out that people are already doing that.
Answer:
Her smile is fake. She was somewhere else in her head. She is detached from the situation. The audience thinks that she is delighted to be dancing in front of them. This is about who she is and who she presents herself to be to others. It is really all in the audience's mind that she is enjoying herself. She is very unhappy. It can be really difficult to look at how things are and then trying to understand someone's inner thoughts and self.
The audience is almost predatory and she is graceful and wants to contain her dignity. The speaker in the poem is also pointing to the injustice of society and how she is being dehumanized. Harlem was a poor and mostly black neighborhood. She could get a job there and took it so she can afford to live.
This poem is really about social justice and how these young girls are exploited
