Read the excerpt from the poem "harlem" by langston hughes.
what happens to a dream deferred?
does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? * * *
maybe it just sags like a heavy load.
or does it explode?
according to the poem, the speaker feels that the relationship between whites and african americans is
a> happy and equal.
b> tense and unequal.
c> strong but calm.
d> unhappy but peaceful.

Hi!

The answer would be option B, tense and unequal.

Explanation:

According to the passage, the speaker feels like the relationship between whites and African Americans is tense an unequal. This can be seen in how the author sees his dream going. The dream represents the hope for a better future, but after not seeing this, the author concludes that the hope they had has either been forgotten, or vanished or burst in their faces. Because they aren’t getting what they need, the relationship that exists between whites and African Americans is unequal.
