Within the realm of black struggle for liberation from racial oppression, Amiri Baraka’s The Toilet (1967) purports to teach that one must ignore binary oppositions which divide society, to move toward a reconciled community. The scope of this article is to show that to foster and create a harmonious relationship in a given society; people have to go beyond pre-established barriers, represented in The Toilet as the gap between the black dialect and the national American language, as well as the hetero and homosexuality divide. The Toilet teaches American people of all races to forget the ongoing struggles for a peaceful American society.
