This is a great line which readers could interpret in at least two different ways. To begin the interpretation, one has to consider the meaning(s) of the word colored (both its denotation and connotation). On the one hand, the speaker may be referring to the notion that the page he writes will reveal who he is as a man. On the other hand, he may be referring to the fact that the page will reveal his race. Which do you think he means?
