Black lives matter is promoting racism and black privilage

My opponent would attempt to persuade you into believing that somehow the statistics provided by Breitbart do nothing to do with the resolution but this is simply a failed attempt to deflect from the truth. The alleged simple logic provided in the rebuttal was nothing more than an opinion lacking virtually any proof except a link to wikipedia.org (infamous for providing false information) and a poem that the Huffingtonpost decided showcase on their website. This is a foolish attempt to give credibility based on the perspective of one individual who also provides no statistical proof that BLM has any legitimacy. Instead of providing evidence in support of a "con" position my opponent has given a tu quoque (too-kwoh-kwee) fallacy. Tu quoque - a retort charging an adversary with being or doing what he criticizes in others (websters dictionary) Con has suggested that I have provided no credible source while he/she has provided even less. 1. One of the most blatant ways the BLM movement is promoting racism is by promoting the lies of matters such as "hands up dont shoot" instead of embracing the truth. By ignoring the truth and continuing with a false premise as they have, it only discredits any legitimate grievances they may have had. This movement is contending that these men are being shot and killed for absolutely no reason despite all the physical evidence. By supporting criminals based on obvious lies they are making the assertion that these black criminals are somehow above the law. That just because he attacked the officer doesn't mean the officer had a right to kill him, for example. http://www.theguardian.com... According to theguardian.com, 1.51 whites are killed per million (out of approximately 250,000,000) 3.71 blacks are killed per million ( out of approximately 50,000,000) Blacks represent far less of the American population than whites and yet they account for far more of the crimes committed, mainly homicides. What my opponent refuses to admit is the fact that the vast majority of black men killed since the Michael Brown incident were already convicted of crimes, meaning that they had a history of getting into trouble to simplify it further. Thats not to say that every black man killed has a criminal record but that is the theme of most cases. Why then are we not seeing people with no criminal history being killed by police? The obvious answer is because those with clean records are law abiding citizens that have little to no interactions with the police. The BLM movement has done virtually nothing to explain this while they continue to accuse police and the system of being racist. The facts do not care about your feelings and the numbers do not lie! Instead of condemning the actions that lead these men to their deaths, BLM has accused police of inherent racism. Whether they mean to or not, they are making the suggestion that it doesn't matter what black men do, they should not be killed. This line of thought places black lives on an elevated pedestal above other races. Because the fact of the matter is white people are consistently killed in greater numbers and yet there have been virtually no mass riots, no calls for reform, and no allegations of racism when a black officers kills a white civilian. In the white community it is generally accepted that if you attack a police officer or disobey an officers commands in a dangerous situation, there is a chance you will be killed for your actions. This is basic cause and effect and the judicial system has recognized this time and time again with officers like Darren Wilson. This means that there was not sufficient evidence to support the claims made by BLM. This speaks to the privilege portion of the debate. BLM seeks to reform the system based on the death of criminals just because the criminals are black. http://downtrend.com... http://www.dailywire.com... Criminals of every race are held to the same standards, that is equality. More whites are killed by police and more blacks kill whites than the other way around and yet BLM has the audacity to make claims which are not supported by the statistics. The very title Black Lives Matter singles them out Con will undoubtedly attempt to discredit these videos as showing a bias but what he cannot do is deny the individuals in the videos and what they're saying. It is perfectly acceptable for these people to call for the death of white people and they are not considered racist. If whites were to call for the death of blacks they would be labeled racists and this is part of the black privilege the movement is promoting.
