Read the excerpt from paragraph 3 of the "Address to the Niagara Movement." Stripped of verbiage and subterfuge and in its nastiness, the new American creed says: Fear to let the black men even try to rise lest they become the equals of the white. And this is the land that professes to follow Jesus Christ. The blasphemy of such a course is only matched by its cowardice.

Why does DuBois use the word professes in the paragraph, instead of declares or admits?

It has a weaker connotation to show indecision.

It has a stronger connotation to emphasize devotion.

It has a more positive connotation and conveys faith.

It has a more negative connotation and implies insincerity.
