resolved; black history month ought to be abolished in America.

My opponent makes the crazy and unfounded assertion that, "blacks endured struggles on the largest scale. Not the most. "I don't know where people get the idea that they have the right to say I have struggled more than you especially when it comes to race. African Americans have not struggled the most in America. How can you say they suffered on the largest scale but not the most? That doesn't make sense. You obviously think they have suffered the most. But the funny thing is con contradicts his own statement towards the end of his post, " Native Americans suffered longer than blacks and were nearly annihilated completely. " ". No other group of people suffered more than blacks than Native Americans. "Con also says he never said African Americans struggle the most. This is a lie. "Black History Month is recognized over all because Blacks endured the most struggles in American history. "Obviously con is making multiple contradictions in his case. His stance is crumbling. Here's another contradiction con has made, "Black History Month is only meant to emphasize the accomplishments of blacks in American history, not separate them. " ". African-American history is different from American history""Black History Month is not asking for separation, but recognition"You've said twice that AF history is not separate however in your initial case you say it is separate or different. I think its clear what your shifting under pressure. It seems starting to persuade con to change his views on multiple levels since he can not stick to many of his ideas. he also like majority of the race consider themselves separate or have separated themselves do to the hatred and separatism that BHM creates. This effect has obviously taken its toll on my opponent. Look at the statement below"200 years ago, a poor white man was still ten times the worth of a wealthy, free black man. "' This statement indicates some anger or negativity towards the caucasians because this sentence is mere here say. A poor Caucasian couldn't afford a slave while a wealthy AF could. If a AF can buy a slave he has more worth than someone who. This article proves that AF bought and owned slaves which at the time the south succeeded the union cost around 130,000. http://clclt.com...http://www.measuringworth.com...This example obviously indicates a feeling of being separate and a view of the caucasians. This is a typical view shared during BHM that is false. Con states my north Korean example is irrelevant. It is very relevant because Korean descendants now live in America. They suffer alot. They didn't beg for respect from America or impose upon America for it. They simply put up or shut up and proved themselves to be valuable members of society like every other culture in America. They didn't need a month because they realize their history is worth more than to be condensed into a month. They realize that they are American history. Con says I don't know how BHM started. Regardless if I do or don't what does that have to do with our resolution? However it seems your the one unaware of woodson, and how February was decided to honor Lincoln, and Douglas,Around paragraph 4 this article explains the whole story which I will be referring to later. http://www.phillymag.com...Con seems to try to prove that AF has suffered more than others where he goes into this type of history lesson. Regardless of what AF may have gone through you cannot logically say AF had suffered more than others in America. Suffering and struggling is a subjective experience. Though a group may suffer something together the individuals of that group are going to experience it all on different levels and ways. Therefore it is illogical to say any race in America suffered more than another because one cannot accurately quantify how much a race suffers or struggles accurately. Not to mention no one knows what all the races did to transition to America. Let's use the example of the native Americans that con contradictionaly used. He claims Native Americans may have suffered more than AF. If that's true why don't they have a month? why do we respect and know their history and seem their worth though according to cons logic we wouldn't know their history or respect them if a culture who went through something similar didn't have a recognized month? As we see this is a hole in cons failing case. Con states, "The first African slaves were kidnapped of course"I charge him to prove it. I want to also say that slave trade is not exclusive to AF. Have you forgotten the Romans. Or the Arabs we falsely kidnapped, and abused, and tortured, enslaved and traded. guantanimo bay remember that? They didn't ask for a month yet we recognize and respect their struggle. anyone see a trend happening? Here's a quote from con, "Concerning American history, the Arab slave trade was not pressing. " Wow so the only pressing slavery in American history is AF slavery of whom you say is separated from American history? Simply amazing, but AF Do not have a sense of self entitlement? Simply amazing. Regardless of if Arab or any other type of slavery in America was important in your opinion, the fact is they went through the same things. The same slavery, the same assimilation, the same type of struggle. Guess what they don't need a month to condense their history. I want to say that though BHM was created by woodson to educate America that AF do have history. This has been accomplished, we are in the history books however BHM has talked about slavery so much that the history books almost exclusively talk about slavery and the achievements of slaves. Why? Because BHM is mainly about reminding America that we were its slaves and spreading anger , a sense of self entitlement, educating people on the names of some famous AF, separating the culture from America, expressing dislike or hate towards the caucasians,and spreading the false belief that America wants AF to fail and is against us. They fail to realize the Effects of BHM. They fail to realize that BHM promotes racism, that it is a insult to AF history, and that it stalls social progression and cross-cultural relations. For these reasons we need to abolish BHM. Abolition does not equal Abolition of our history. There is absolutely nothing wrong with honoring ones roots and history. There is something wrong with reserving that to only one month and harming your entire race by allowing BHM to still exist. cons case does not stand under scrutiny. Con ignores many portions of my case, since they are unrefuted they still firmly stand with my contentions.
