What is human race: the history of racial typing???

Answer - Race as a categorizing term referring to human beings was first used in the English language in the late 16th century. Until the 18th century it had a generalized meaning similar to other classifying terms such as type, sort, or kind. Occasional literature of Shakespeare’s time referred to a “race of saints” or “a race of bishops.” By the 18th century, race was widely used for sorting and ranking the peoples in the English colonies—Europeans who saw themselves as free people, Amerindians who had been conquered, and Africans who were being brought in as slave labour—and this usage continues today.

The peoples conquered and enslaved were physically different from western and northern Europeans, but such differences were not the sole cause for the construction of racial categories. The English had a long history of separating themselves from others and treating foreigners, such as the Irish, as alien “others.” By the 17th century their policies and practices in Ireland had led to an image of the Irish as “savages” who were incapable of being civilized. Proposals to conquer the Irish, take over their lands, and use them as forced labour failed largely because of Irish resistance. It was then that many Englishmen turned to the idea of colonizing the New World. Their attitudes toward the Irish set precedents for how they were to treat the New World Indians and, later, Africans.

Read the excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther King’s "Letter from Birmingham Jail." Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct action c
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

To explain his unwillingness to postpone his efforts.

Explanation:

On April 16, 1963, Martin Luther King wrote an open letter "Letter From Birmingham Jail" to rant out but more importantly to explain his purpose. He had been jailed, and the people of Birmingham had criticized him for his actions of going against the government.

King was jailed for his opposition and call for people to oppose unjust laws like that of racism. In his letter, a response for the criticism from the Birmingham clergymen, he said that<em> "Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct action campaign that was "well timed" in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation"</em>. He included this line to explain his unwillingness to postpone his efforts. For in postponing it, he will only be extending the suffering of his fellow black men, and also the fight against racism. To delay justice is to be cowardly and unjust for the people suffering. So, he is implying that instead of asking him to delay, they (the clergymen) should be joining him in his fight for equality.
