Answer:

b . Degrading someone ultimately causes a person to become inferior to those they believe to be subordinate

Explanation:

In this excerpt, Cullen is referring to the men who plant but do not reap the fruits of these plantations because these fruits were harvested by other men who degrade the men who planted these plants. But by degrading the men who planted the plants, the men who reaped the fruits also degrade themselves. And this generates a paradox, which consists in affirming that men in degradation cause a person to become inferior to those who have degraded.

UkoKoshka [18]
<span>Here is Paragraph 3 


But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
