In the poem, I, Too, Sing America by Langston Hughes the tones I see are very forward-looking and patient. The narrarator sounds as if he's ready to endure and be patient because he knows that soon enough, there will be no prejudice in society; That in the future, whether a man or woman has light skin or dark skin- we will all live in peace and civility.
It says in the second to last stanza,
'They'll see how beautiful I am. And be ashamed--'
Which is giving off the tone of pride, showing that he's proud to be who he is.
