Beneatha says "enough of this assimilationist junk" to express her frustration with the pressure to conform to mainstream American culture and values, which she feels undermines her African heritage and identity. She is seeking a deeper understanding of her roots and is critical of the idea that she must abandon her cultural background to succeed or be accepted. This statement reflects her desire for authenticity and a rejection of the notion that embracing one's heritage is inferior to assimilation.
