Cool person if you help me please, Read the excerpt from "We Are All Bound Up Together” by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper.

We are all bound up together in one great bundle of humanity, and society cannot trample on the weakest and feeblest of its members without receiving the curse in its own soul. You tried that in the case of the negro. You pressed him down for two centuries; and in so doing you crippled the moral strength and paralyzed the spiritual energies of the white men of the country. When the hands of the black were fettered, white men were deprived of the liberty of speech and the freedom of the press. Society cannot afford to neglect the enlightenment of any class of its members.

The author uses the words "crippled” and "paralyzed” to convince her audience that

racist people should be punished.
racism hurts everyone in society.
privileged people must help those less privileged.
privilege is something that needs to be earned.

Answer:

2. Racism hurts everyone is society

Explanation: When the American colonies did, but rather a century later. Slavery is the most explicit act of racism in global history and its enactment continues to have consequences that have now lasted half of a millennium. This is an important read when we enter the discussion of the past.
