In "i, too," why does the speaker say "they" will be ashamed?

The speaker says they will be ashamed because they will see how beautiful he is.

This poem is in response to Whitman's "I Hear America Singing". In the poem Hughes, contrasts Whitman's idea that America is a place where everyone has value. However, Hughes does not see the same America as Whitman. People of his race are constantly tossed aside and banished to back rooms. They are not valued or respected. He tells the audience that "they" meaning the white people will be ashamed when they learn all that the African Americans have to offer the world.

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
