Which pair of lines from the poem best captures the viewpoint that Hughes expresses regarding race in the piece? “I went to scho
ol there, then Durham, then here / to this college on the hill above Harlem.” “I feel and see and hear, Harlem, I hear you: / hear you, hear me—we two—you, me, talk on this page.” “I wonder if it’s that simple? / I am twenty-two, colored, born in Winston-Salem.” “I guess being colored doesn’t make me not like / the same things other folks like who are other races.”
I would say the correct answer is the last option - <span>“I guess being colored doesn’t make me not like / the same things other folks like who are other races.” The lines show us Hughes true thoughts about race - he believes that even though people are born with different skin colors, it doesn't mean that they cannot like the same things, that they cannot be the same people, have the same characteristics, interests, loves, etc. Race has nothing to do with what kind of a person one is. </span>
