Revisionist scholars responded to the legacy of slavery thesis by providing evidence that contradicted the idea that slavery was the sole cause of black poverty and inequality. They argued that factors such as discrimination, urbanization, and economic changes also played a role. One of the ways they did this was by pointing out that in metropolitan neighborhoods, a majority of black families were not on welfare and a majority of families included a married couple, which challenged the stereotype of the "welfare queen" single mother. Therefore, options A and C are incorrect, while option D is the best choice as it includes both of these points.
