a. The remedy for racism was to become colorblind to people's race and their experiences and act as if race did not matter
b. It was no longer acceptable to admit to racial prejudice and people should act as if racism did not exist.
c. As long as occasional jokes and comments were not spoken in front of other races, it was best to publically maintain everyone was equal.
d. The focus should be on economic justice, the elimination of poverty, and the creation of a society where race actually did not matter.
D Correct Answer: The focus should be on economic justice, the elimination of poverty, and the creation of a society where race actually did not matter.
Feedback for Correct Answer: King gave his speech at the "March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom." The focus was economic justice and he was advocating for the elimination of poverty. King did not mean that whites should deny that race mattered, but that they should actively work to create a society in which it actually didn't matter.
