C) the law
D) the unconscious

Answer 1

I believe the answer is D.

Answer 2

Answer:

D) the unconscious

Explanation:

"The Black Artist and the Racial Mountain," reveals that one powerful way that the whiteness pattern affects African Americans is through the unconscious. This is because, as a child, blacks see everything that is good and virtuous being associated with that which is white. The parents of black children work for whites, the films that black children watch are white people, the mother of these children often says "do not be blackheads" when children are bad. A frequent phrase from the father is: "Looks like a white man does things well"

In "The Black Artist and the Racial Mountain," the author shows that, incoherently, the Negro is taught early on to create racist habits among themselves, performing undesirable actions, while consuming massively the culture of whites, incorporating a racist identity.
