Answer:
The main argument being made by Johnson in "The End of the Black American Narrative" is that there has been only one narrative predominantly used for the African - American culture and history which has to a large degree defined African- Americans as a group.
Explanation:
Johnson argues that this narrative has been the enslavement, oppression, victimization and fight for equal civil rights and equal political standing of African-Americans in an inherently racist society. He further argues that this narrative has been true since slavery until the Civil Rights movement but is no longer relevant as a result of the Civil Rights movement and its outcomes. The reason for this, Johnson states, is because today’s African- American population is a culmination of too many diverse people; consisting of members with diverse and cultural backgrounds and histories, and people who are too socio-economically varied to still use such a one-sided story to describe such a diverse people. Therefore, this narrative is not longer completely true, nor does it paint a complete picture. The author does not dismiss the once-relevance of this narrative but clarifies that it is dated and does more harm than good in the 21st century as that particular story does not apply anymore as it once used to.
