I, Too, Sing America Thesis Statement (3B)

In Langston Hughes' poem, I, Too, Sing America, the resentfully hopeful tone reflects the main character's frustration with the time that he lives in. The "darker brother" in the story resents the fact that he is oppressed by another race and being told to "eat in the kitchen." However, he predicts that in the future, the white race will see their wrong-doing, and there will be a time for equality in America.
