Answer:
The figurative language that can be found in the sentence is onomatopoeia.
Explanation:
<u>Onomatopoeia refers to words that represent a sound by imitating it. </u>There are several verbs that come, originally, from imitating a sound, such as: to buzz, to clang, to click, to tinkle, to jingle, and to chime, among others. T<u>he verbs </u><u>to sizzle </u><u>and </u><u>to crack</u><u> are also examples of onomatopoeia. </u><u>To sizzle</u><u> mostly refers to the sound food makes while being fried, although it can also refer to the sounds that fire makes while burning. The same goes for </u><u>to crack</u><u>, although it can refer to a more extensive range of sounds, such as explosions, or the sound of something breaking.</u> Therefore, we can safely say the sentence "The meat sizzled and cracked as I laid it into the hot pan" uses onomatopoeia.

In this line "their own beauty" is the heritage of African Americans. The "near intellectuals" aren't musicians and writers. They are African Americans who are paying attention more to white culture than their own history.
