Read this excerpt from the land.

"i hate folks thinking of me as white and you colored," he went on. "wish folks thought of us as the same."

"which the same? " i questioned. "white or colored? "

"don't matter to me," said robert without hesitation, "long as we were the same."

"i figure it'd matter you had to live colored awhile."

robert was silent to that, then reluctantly agreed. "maybe so . . but i'll tell you something, paul. you don't feel no different to me than hammond or george. i hate folks saying that word 'half' brother. how can you be 'half' of a brother? either you're brothers or you're not."

how does the historical setting affect paul and robert?

they wish people would accept their familial bond.
they are both unaware of society’s ideas about race.
they are forced to compete for their father’s attention.
they strive to follow hammond’s and george’s example.

They wish people would accept their familial bond.

Explanation:

In the very beginning Robert says that he wished "folks thought of us as the same." He then goes on to say that he hates people calling them half brothers, because he believes that you're either brothers or you're not. This shows that they wish people would accept who they are as brothers. They are very aware of society's ideas about race. There is nothing to suggest that they are competing for their father's attention. We also don't see them looking up to Hammond and George.
