What did novelist and scholar charles johnson argue in a 2008 article titled "the end of the black american narrative"?

The main argument being made by Johnson in "The End of the Black American Narrative" is that there has been only one narrative predominantly used for the African - American culture and history which has to a large degree defined African- Americans as a group.

Explanation:

Johnson argues that this narrative has been the enslavement, oppression, victimization and fight for equal civil rights and equal political standing of African-Americans in an inherently racist society. He further argues that this narrative has been true since slavery until the Civil Rights movement but is no longer relevant as a result of the Civil Rights movement and its outcomes. The reason for this, Johnson states, is because today’s African- American population is a culmination of too many diverse people; consisting of members with diverse and cultural backgrounds and histories, and people who are too socio-economically varied to still use such a one-sided story to describe such a diverse people. Therefore, this narrative is not longer completely true, nor does it paint a complete picture. The author does not dismiss the once-relevance of this narrative but clarifies that it is dated and does more harm than good in the 21st century as that particular story does not apply anymore as it once used to.

the question concerns exactly this part of the speech:

i am not now thinking of the loss of property involved, immense and serious as that is, but only of the wanton and wholesale destruction of the lives of non-combatants, men, women, and children, engaged in pursuits which have always, even in the darkest periods of modern history, been deemed innocent and legitimate. property can be paid for; the lives of the peaceful and innocent people cannot be.

president wilson talks about the lives of people destroyed by german army. but these people are not americans, they are the local people living in europe. the president mentions the barbarity of germans, considering that he is not targeting the nation, instead it is said about german army. the correct answer is the last one.

what are the choices?
