Read the excerpt from Notes of a Native Son. It had something to do with his blackness, I think—he was very black—with his black

ness and his beauty, and with the fact that he knew that he was black but did not know that he was beautiful. He claimed to be proud of his blackness but it had also been the cause of much humiliation and it had fixed bleak boundaries to his life. What does the excerpt tell readers about racial prejudice in early 20th-century America?

Answer:

On instinct, animals and humans react to threats with a general discharge of the sympathetic nervous system. Adrenaline pumps through the body in the face of fear, and we instinctively have what’s called, a fight or flight response, described by Walter Cannon in the 1920s, in which we decide to run away from harm, or stand and fight. Physically, the amygdala (which is the part of the brain responsible for emotions, survival tactics, and memory) is activated and sends signals to the frontal cortex, which is responsible for analyzing and interpreting data. Then the brain evaluates the threat, sparking the primitive response to flee (avoid) or fight.

Explanation:

Basically, fear helps us survive and triggers the fight or flight response.
