Answer:

c. Barring people of their own race.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes' short essay/ story of "When the Negro was in Vogue" details his opinions of when Harlem used to be the property of the colored people. But now, more and more white people came at night, crowding their bars and cabarets after sundown. He points out that many Harlemites did not find the acts of club owners denying their own people, black people, admission in their bars as fair. Rather, it should be that they support and encourage the development of their own people instead of welcoming the whites. The blacks do not vocally say out that the whites' bars and places were never disturbed or overtaken by the blacks so why should they come into their town and mingle with them? But Hughes claims that "Negroes are practically never rude to  white people" so they silently act along with whatever the situation was.
