Q.5 (B) (II) Fernman’s presentation focuses on the theme of ‘racism.’ Explain.
Best answer
Answer: Through his report on the class’s lessons on the development of man, Fernman showed that all human beings share a common origin, so no race is superior to another.
Fernman explained what the class had learnt about early man, how people spread over the earth, and how differences in skin colour and features developed because of climate and surroundings. He concluded that such differences are only superficial. Coming from a class taught by a Black teacher, Braithwaite, this was a quiet but strong answer to racial prejudice, showing that the students had learnt to judge people by worth, not colour.
