Answer:
B
Explanation:
From 1966 onward, African American leaders began objecting
to the war as it became clear that both the war and the funding it required were hurting their struggle
for equality. Clear, statistical evidence of racial bias within the military, especially the high
casualty rates and draft rates of Black soldiers, angered and emboldened the radical activists in the
movement, which had previously been kept in check by the promise of legislative change.
Moderates of the civil rights movement avoided condemning the disparate statistics within the
military, in order to maintain support for President Johnson and his Great Society. The explicitly
revolutionary groups, largely motivated by the disproportionate statistics in the military, opposed
the Vietnam War and the government that perpetuated it on anticolonial and antiracist grounds,
thus breaking the consensus of civil rights organizations because of a differing perception of
racism in the military
