The correct answer is:

He describes white moderates as paternalistic and condescending.

Explanation:

Martin Luther King Jr. wrote The Letter from Birmingham Jail in April 16, 1963, when he was imprisoned at the Birmingham Jail for the Birmingham campaign  to end segregation. On his letter King expressed his philosophy of nonviolence manifestation, and his frustration towards white moderates who claimed to support the cause but used to say that the time was not right, nor the methods used.

He described white moderates as paternalistic and condescending, white moderates thought they should protect African American people, they claimed that they supported the cause and agreed that they deserved the same rights and freedom but didn't allow them to have freedom because they thought the time was not right, and it was not convenient for the entire population of white men. This is why King stated that shallow understanding is more dangerous than opposition.

What evidence does Manjiro have to believe the men are barbarians? What evidence does he have to believe they are not barbarians
vampirchik [111]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers. However, I believe that you are referring to "Heart of a Samurai" whose protagonist is Manjiro Nakatama, one of the first Japanese to immigrate to the USA.

While reading the book, we can see that the evidence that Manjiro has to believe that men are barbarians are the stories that fishermen told on the island where he lived in Japan. Fishermen claimed that barbaric men had hair on their faces and had eyes of all colors. As the fishermen were wise men who had vast knowledge, Manjiro believed what they said.

I believe you should pause B. at the end of lines 2 and 7.
You should pause at the end of line 2 because there is a coma at the end, and at the end of line 7 because there is a full stop, the end of his monologue. 
There shouldn't be any other pauses in between, because the thought is transferred into the following line, which is known as enjambment.
