Answer 2

The correct answer is option D. "That accepting people as they are does not mean allowing injustice to occur".

Step-by-step explanation:

In the book "Notes of a Native Son" by James Baldwin, the author explores how the black people were oppressed through different stories and sadly how little has changed in the modern world. At the end of the book the author emphasizes on the importance of accepting people as they are but never accepting racial injustice. One powerful quote taken from the book that covers this idea is the following: "The first idea was acceptance, the acceptance, totally without rancor, of life as it is, and men as they are: in the light of this idea, it goes without saying that injustice is a commonplace. But this did not mean that one could be complacent, for the second idea was of equal power: that one must never, in one's own life, accept these injustices as commonplace but must fight them with all one's strength".
