Answer:

Colorism is a colonization of the mind” what does this quote means??

Explanation:

Skin color matters because we are a visual species and we respond to one another based on the way we physically present. Add to that the “like belongs with like” beliefs most people harbor, and the race-based prejudices human beings have attached to certain skin colors, and we come to present-day society, where skin color becomes a loaded signifier of identity and value. In the U.S. in particular, where we have an extremely diverse population, race still matters, but color matters, too.

In the 21st century, as America becomes less white and the multiracial community—formed by interracial unions and immigration—continues to expand, color will be even more significant than race in both public and private interactions. Why? Because a person’s skin color is an irrefutable visual fact that is impossible to hide, whereas race is a constructed, quasi-scientific classification that is often only visible on a government form.

Ad libitum [116K]

Forcing people to pay taxes when they have had no say in making the law that created the tax. American colonies were angry about paying taxes that were passed by the British Parliament because they had no representatives that voted on the tax. This proclamation prevented many colonists from moving west onto the land that Britain won in the war. It was done by Britain to allow the Native Americans to keep the land and stop attacking the settlers who wanted to move there. This was a tax law that said the colonists had to pay taxes on all printed paper including stamps, newspapers, pamphlets, marriage licenses, and playing cards.

Why was buddhisim successful in challenging brahmin power​
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Brahmin power is a fiction - India was always ruled by kings not priests. Buddha himself was a scion of a royal family as were many other sages and enlightened beings.

Buddhism was never a political movement - it was about achieving freedom from suffering not about power and prestige.

Buddha like many of his contemporaries among the Hindus and the Jain challenged many of the philosophical positions of each other but socially lived in cooperation and harmony.
