Answer 2

I believe the correct answer is: The speaker believes that he will one day share equally in the fruits of human labor.

The poem is a bitter statement about the current state of affairs between white and black people. Black people are still oppressed and exploited; however, there will be a time when they will not be looked down upon as lesser human beings. Today, white people reap what black people plant. He doesn't hope that he, as a black man, would get to reap what others plant. He only hopes that the world would be more just to them.
