The backgrund of this poet is pretty old history in the U.S. society. At that time, it was really common to discriminate between white and black people. Even the white did not want to live with the other races. "Harlem" is one of the most famous place for black people. In the article, the author attended to the school which was almost studied by white students, so he felt segregation contrasted to the other student in that he was only colored student. Even I think he discriminated him by himself due to the atmosphere of society at that time.
He is wondering about who the American is. He want to be same level as an the Aemrican and unify all of the people. He want to do all of regular behaviors like any other white people. He is, however, disappointed, because real situatuib is totally different. That is why he just mentioned about his hope at the last part.
