Read the excerpt from “The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain.”

To these the Negro artist can give his racial individuality, his heritage of rhythm and warmth, and his incongruous humor that so often, as in the Blues, becomes ironic laughter mixed with tears.

In this context, what is the meaning of “incongruous”?
constant
delightful
undeserving
contradictory
