But, to my mind, it is the duty of the younger Negro artist, if he accepts any duties at all from outsiders, to change through the force of his art that old whispering “I want to be white,” hidden in the aspirations of his people, to “Why should I want to be white? I am a Negro—and beautiful”? In this context, what is the meaning of “aspirations”?
complexities
beliefs
curiosities
ambitions

Respuesta :

Ambitions because if you were to switch the word from aspirations to ambition the meaning would be the same and the text wouldnt be changed

Answer:

Letter B

Explanation:

Although the general meaning of aspiration is something somene aspires to be(come), in this context the author didn't mean to imply that the Negro people aspired 'to become White'. This old whispering was more of an unsettling statement that echoed in their minds for many centuries. What they believed they should become in order to be better accepted in society.
