According to <em>"The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain"</em>, one powerful way that the standard of whiteness affects African Americans is through the unconscious.
In the poem, the author states this idea very well at the beginnig of the poem when he says: <em>"...I want to be a poet, not a Negro poet..." </em>One can interpret that the poet has a conscious desire to be white or an unconscious desire not to be black.
The use of whiteness as a standard of beauty and wellness is another powerful way to impact African Americans.

Explanation:The author's tone towards the subject is the viewpoint on the matter. Through the author's tone we are given a glimpse of the author's feelings and train of thought. The tone may be formal or informal,sad or cheerful,optimistic or ominous.
The tone plays an important role in providing meaning to the tension that has been set by the author.
Use of the second person (the pronoun “you”), over the first
and third person, is a technique that an author will use in order to better
interact with readers and engage them.
When one reads the pronoun “you,” one will generally feel as if the
author or writer of a text is speaking directly to him or her. This will, most evidently, draw readers into
what they are reading because the message will seem more personal with the use
of second person than with first or third.
With that in mind, of the possible responses for this question, “A. It
pulls the reader into the text,” seems to be the most appropriate.
