It had something to do with his blackness, I think—he was very black—with his blackness and his beauty, and with the fact that he knew that he was black but did not know that he was beautiful. He claimed to be proud of his blackness but it had also been the cause of much humiliation and it had fixed bleak boundaries to his life.

This question is missing the answer choices. I have found the complete question online. Since the excerpt is the same, I will omit it.

What does the excerpt tell readers about racial prejudice in early 20th-century America?  

A. Racial prejudice had negative psychological effects on those who discriminated against others.

B. Racial prejudice had negative psychological effects on those who suffered its injustices.

C. People who experienced racial prejudice did not show evidence of any psychological effects.

D. People who experienced racial prejudice were fully aware of how they were affected psychologically.

Answer:

What the excerpt says is that:

B. Racial prejudice had negative psychological effects on those who suffered its injustices.

Explanation:

The speaker in the excerpt is talking of someone who is both black and beautiful. However, that person does not understand his own beauty. He has suffered so much injustice, prejudice, and discrimination because of his skin color that he is not able to see his own appearance as beautiful. That is a dire effect of suffering racial discrimination: being led to believe oneself to be ugly. Clearly, racial prejudice has negative psychological effects on those who suffer it, and that is, unfortunately, something that still occurs today.
