After the end of the apartheid, South Africa changed significantly, with the black population gaining all the rights that they deserved and were neglected for very long time. Unfortunately, that was not the only change. The country entered a new political era, and lot of politicians in this nation were without proper education or experience in politics. This led to large scale corruption, thus the economy of the country started to slow down in its development. Another big problem was and still is that some of the leaders are propagating racism, and they motivate the black population to take revenge on the white population for the past and exterminate them. This has led to lot of sexual violations, murders, and destruction of properties of white people in South Africa, so instead of the problem with the racism being solved, it actually just changed sides and became even more extreme.

This question refers to the essay "The Idea of America" by Hannah-Jones. In this essay, Jones talks about the way Black people experienced, and impacted, the Revolutionary War in the United States. She tells us that:
<em>"...as the sociologist Glenn Bracey wrote, ‘‘Out of the ashes of white denigration, we gave birth to ourselves.’’ For as much as white people tried to pretend, black people were not chattel. And so the process of seasoning, instead of erasing identity, served an opposite purpose: In the void, we forged a new culture all our own."</em>
The explanation the author gives in this text expands on the quote by describing how Black people were able to develop their own selves. We learn that Black people were considered "chattel" and that they were denigrated, minimized and ignored constantly. However, this did not lead to the erasure of their culture. Instead, out of these harsh experiences, Black people were able to create their own identity in a way that continues to our day.
The correct answer is: Colonists could be taxed only by colonial assemblies.
The Virginia Resolves were a response by the House of Burgesses to the proclamation of the Stamp Act of 1765 by the Parliament of Great Britain, which imposed direct taxes on the American Colonies. They were a series of resolutions claiming that since in the Parliament of Great Britain there were no colonial representatives, therefore they have no right of taxation, because it was stipulated by law that only the persons chosen by the colonists could represent them and know what taxes people were able to bear.
