I interprated the last lines of it saying that if you don't understand the entire truth with unbandeged eyes thinking you've understood it all, you could get the wrong impression and learn to oppose the excat people who are really trying their best.
Im 13 and doing a project for school :) so this website really helped me get other views from this poem. thanks!

Justice is meant to be blind, meaning that the determination of guilt or innocence is not made with any bias or prejudice. However, in my opinion I think that Hughes is making a satire of this symbol. When Hughes says “Justice is Blind” he means that it is completely nonexistent for African Americans. Justice is unable to see the black community; justice is unable to reach the black community.
