Immediately following the protests in Ferguson, many white residents commented that Mr.Brown's death

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Many white residents commented that Mr. Brown's death revealed racial tensions they had not realized were there. This suggests that they were previously unaware of the extent of the racial divide and unrest in the community, and were prompted to recognize it more fully as a result of the protests.

Answer: B and D are both incorrect as there is no evidence to indicate that the protests in Ferguson aggravated already existing racist tendencies of white citizens or uncovered a well-hidden system of ongoing and purposeful racism, although it is certainly possible that these factors may have been present. Additionally, choice C is not a completely accurate reflection of white residents' responses to Mr. Brown's death and the subsequent protests, as the protests drew attention to areas where racism was still prevalent and needed to be addressed rather than indicating that it had been completely resolved.
