I think this is talking about black people used to be scared to stand up for their because they did not know the challenges that could come in their way.

This part of the poem is hinting at slavery very strongly because the bird is clearly uncomfortable and trapped in this cage. The poem says "His bars of rage" and this specific line reminds me of bars on a prison. The story the poem i telling with this line is very important and the way it is worded clearly shows how hurtful it is. Being in a prison is feeling trapped and feeling you have no rights and it is inhumane. That is what the bird is feeling; he is feeling enraged and kind of breaking down because of how little control he has over this situation and that relates to the CRT.

"The free bird thinks of another breeze and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own.  But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing."

One bird is free, by luck, the other is caged, by luck. Although they are the same, the only thing that separates them is circumstances they have no power over. This can be compared to oppressed races, as everyone is human although certain races have been given advantages they did not earn.

"The free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current ends and dips his wings in the orange sun rays and dares to claim the sky."

The free bird claims the sky and names it his own.  This could symbolize the free white people claiming land and countries while the black people were enslaved and not giving rights to claim anything.  The caged bird only sees the sky and can only dream of freedom.

the way that the poem talks about the caged bird having its wings clipped and feet tied could be related to poc being tied down in terms of lack of opportunities in life because of their race
caged = oppressed ?

this poem is about feeling caged and trapped, like how many of us sometimes feel caged in a certain stereotype

This part of the poem is part of CRT because its saying that the bird is restricted in many ways and yet he still tries his best and sings. This reminds me of how many cultures and people of colour have to go through life feeling restricted and yet they still try and try and sometimes get results. It is very difficult for them because not everything comes easy for them; much like the bird. This could be compared to maybe another bird whos free and who isn't tied down and can fly. The poem hints at privilege and slavery.

This is reminiscent of slavery. When slaves were locked up on boats, all they could do was sing or speak. It was the last piece of freedom they had at the time. This is a reflection of slavery and express to us, the audience, the circumstance black people were in during slavery. "Winds are clipped and feet are tied' means that they weren't free, hence oppressed. "He opens his throat to sing" mirrors how black people were trying to express their problems during slavery.

Lots of feelings of being trapped and caged.

I think this part of the poem relates to people of colour being oppressed, or caged, but not silent. They want to be free from stereotypes and institutionalized racism.
