Read the paragraph from the section "George Washington Murray." "Mr. Speaker, the colored people of this country want an opportunity to show that the progress, that the civilization which is now admired the world over, that the civilization which is now leading the world ... the colored people, I say, want an opportunity to show that they, too, are part and parcel of that great civilization." He proceeded to read the names and inventions of 92 African-American inventors into the Congressional Record. Murray was an inventor himself and while in Congress he received patents for eight inventions, including cultivating and fertilizing equipment, and a cotton chopper. Which option helps you understand that African-Americans were integral to the country's advancement?
A
opportunity to show that the progress
B
civilization which is now admired
C
civilization which is now leading
D
opportunity to show that they, too, are part and parcel

the correct answer is b

because everyone tends to get their feelings hurt if they don't agree with something someone is doing and vice versa. it's a major issue that needs to be dealt with, especially in the christian society. everyone thinks that christians hate gay people, because it is a sin, and christians "just hate everyone who sins and every one is going to hell for sinning"(saying that all in a sarcastic tone but i'm just going to go ahead and tell you why everything with that type of view on christians is wrong.

#1. christians do not hate gay people. and if they do, then that is their own personal problem. christians are not supposed to hate anyone. if you hate a neighbor (or any person basically), then that is as if you are hating jesus.

#2. being gay is in fact a sin according to the holy bible. it is in genesis. and no, the fact that it is a sin, does not mean that god hates you. he is grieved that a person is sinning against his word, but he still loves that person. in fact, christians are supposed to love everyone. we are supposed to love our enemies, but hate the sin they are doing. we love you and respect you, but we do not agree with every decision you make, is basically what i'm trying to say.

hope this you ! (:
