Tim Keller on Dr. King’s rejection of relativism:

When Martin Luther King Jr. confronted racism in the white church in the South, he did not call on Southern churches to become more secular. Read his sermons and “Letter from the Birmingham Jail” and see how he argued. He invoked God’s moral law and the Scripture. He called white Christians to be more true to their own beliefs and to realize what the Bible really teaches. He did not say, “Truth is relative and everyone is free to determine what is right or wrong for them.” If everything is relative, there would have been no incentive for white people in the south to give up their power. Rather, Dr. King invoked the prophet Amos, who said, “Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.” The greatest champion of justice in our era knew the antidote to racism was not less Christianity, but a deeper and truer Christianity.

During the 1990s, Congress prohibited private businesses from discriminating in employment, public services, and public accommod

koban [17]

Answer:

Freedom and equality.

Explanation:

The Congress during the 1990's enacted "The Civil Rights Act" on July 2, 1964 which prohibited private bisinesses unequal application of discrimination and racial segregation in employment, public services, and public accomodations, on the bases of physical and mental disabilities, which clashes between the freedom and equality of the citizens.

The Act further prohibits unequal application of Voter registration requirements, and racial segregation in schools, employment, and public accomodations and also on bases of mental and physical disabilities.

This discriminatory act by private businesses construed upon the freedom and equality of the citizens to be given free and fair chances in business to gain employment, to benefit from public services, and public accommodations, and the Congress feels that its duty is to guarantee all citizens equal protection of the law and protect their voting rights irrespective of any disabilities they might have.

Were the ‘’new’’ countries created in Africa after colonization really ‘’new Countries?

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The new countries created after colonization were in fact new countries.

Explanation:

As you may already know, colonization created new frontiers across the African continent, which allowed the creation of new countries that did not exist before colonization. These borders were maintained after colonization which allowed the creation of new countries, but not only that. Colonization promoted a mixture of cultures and customs that differentiated the African people to the point that it was not possible to unite them in a single country, even if the borders were redrawn. This mixture of cultures and customs created even more differences among African peoples, strengthening the creation of new countries after colonization.
