Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Hands up, don't shoot" became the rallying cry of demonstrators in Ferguson after the death of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager who was shot and killed by a white police officer. Eyewitnesses claimed that Brown had his hands up in surrender when he was shot, and the slogan represented a symbolic gesture of protest against police violence and racial profiling.

Answer: B
 "Black lives matter" is a movement that emerged in response to the systematic oppression and discrimination faced by black people in the United States. The movement seeks to address issues of police brutality, mass incarceration, and the social and economic inequalities that disproportionately affect black communities.

Option C, "All lives matter," is not an appropriate response, as it ignores the specific challenges and injustices faced by black people and undermines the importance of addressing racism and discrimination in society. Option D, "Police brutality," is a valid issue, but does not fully encompass the concerns expressed by protesters in Ferguson and the broader Black Lives Matter movement.
