7 0

There are plenty of evidences offered by proponents of both the sides of the question whether racism preceded slavery or vice versa.

Racism has its origins in the very beginning of the human society as there has always been prejudice, fear and hatred towards people who are different in their colour or place of origin.

Ruth Benedict was one of the first scholars to define racism in her book Race and Racism thus: “the dogma that one ethnic group is condemned by nature to congenital inferiority and another group is destined to congenital superiority”. Racism is only one of the contributing factors for justifying slavery. Racial prejudice of the dark skinned Africans by the white skinned Europeans was one of the major causes of the transatlantic slave trade. This trade was further reinforced by the racist ideology that considered the superiority of whites over the blacks. According to the UNESCO, the slaves were considered as property that was moveable and had no rights of possession or contract. The world body reiterates the view that racism was used for legitimising the slave trade and all its horrifying practices.

ladessa [460]

Publishing a newspaper that insults a political party was protected by the First Amendment.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The First Amendment of the US Constitution was passed in 1789 and revised in 1992. This act has provided freedom for many aspects into society like Religion, Speech, Press, Assemble Peaceably and Petition to the government in order to redress the grievances.

With the Freedom of the Press act, any press can publish or provide information, thoughts, and opinions. This information can be published without any fear about the government.
