BLM is NOT worse than the KKK

That should be counted as an argument. Most is trash, but deserves a response. "I would assert my opponent would have to demonstrate that black lives matter are as dangerous and/or can produce individuals of this magnitude of hate." We are debating who is worse, his suggestion on how to weigh that is silly. Judges should use their best judgement. Besides, that. The navy seals produce more dangerous people, but it does not make them worse than serial killers, and hate can be harnessed to do good things The groups my opponent mentioned are a good starting point, but the voters should keep in mind they are his best descriptions of the group should not serve as definitions. Rebuttals The next round is meant to be for rebuttals, but my opponents statements require a response. "one is founded on the principle of social injustice, while another is created off the principle of white nationalism." This is inaccurate. The KKK was created by veterans in the confederacy as an attempt to restore the confederacy. http://www.history.com... Over the course of the debate, my opponent will likely conflate all white nationalist organizations with the KKK. Don"t let him get away with it. Pro says BLM started as movement for social justice, but the KKK started the same way. The Southerners were treated extremely bad after the civil war. The organization was about people sick of being treated unfairly by their conquerors. They likely got a taste of what it felt like to be a black guy at the time and didn"t like it. Both groups may have started as movements for social justice, but they both sprang from reactionary anger, and they are both now hate groups. One group is worse than the other, because one group is looked at favorably enough, and has the numbers to do some damage. " the KKK as well as other white national groups are responsible for influencing the likes of Dylan Roof and Frazier Glenn Miller (who gunned down several people at a Jewish Center in 2014)." The debate is about the KKK, and BLM. Dylan Roof was spending most of his time on the Christian Conservative Citizen"s site, reading their propaganda and seems to be almost entirely influenced by them. http://time.com... The Southern Poverty Law Center can"t find a connection to the KKK, and I don"t think one exists. https://www.splcenter.org... Anti-Police The bLM movement is a hate group like the KKK. They hate cops. They target cops for violence, and most dangerous of all they actually have quite a bit of political influence. My opponent brings up a few racist lone gun men not even associated with the KKK to prove it is worse, but I can similarly bring up lone gun men associated with BLM. In 2015 a man who openly supported BLM on Facebook shot and killed a Kentucky officer. http://www.nydailynews.com... In 2014 2 cops were located and shot at point blank range by a person who was associated with BLM. http://nypost.com... So instead of trading stories about a few nutcases, we should focus on the wider actions of each group. Actions like BLM"s constant attacks on innocent officers. Take officer Darren Wilson for example. The evidence proved that Officer Wilson"s shooting of Michael Brown was justified. Forensics determined that mr. Wilson"s version of events were accurate. http://www.justice.gov... It"s not about truth with BLM, it"s about blind rage that"s why Wilson is in hiding. Just recently at Dartmouth, a pro police poster was posted in the school hallway, but Black lives matter supporters were angry and tore the posters down. http://patriotupdate.com... In response to these posters a group of BLM protesters systematically harassed, threatened and made racist remarks towards white students.(The language was too filthy to post) http://www.washingtontimes.com... After the New York double shooting, BLM came out in support for the shooters chanting "Pigs in a blanket, fry em like Bacon" http://www.breitbart.com... After the death of Eric Garner BLM protested in New York chanting "What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want them? Now. http://www.nbcnewyork.com... Crime Rates Attacks on police have been devastating. It has not just hurt cops. Cops have been overly scrutinized, this has caused them to be afraid to do their job aggressively. This is dangerous for the officer"s safety as well as the publics. After these viral videos start popping up everywhere and the protests happen a rise in the crime rates occur. FBI director James Comey references the Ferguson effect which has caused murder rates to rise 55-75% in cities effected by it. http://www.nytimes.com... When the BLM makes it harder for police to do their job bad stuff happens. BLM breaks the law BLM is known for their looting, leaders within the movement support and even glorify it, comparing the looting to what happened during the Boston Teaparty. This looting is not just some bad element getting out of control, it is what their leaders support. http://www.dailymail.co.uk... BLM caused riots in Ferguson, Baltimore and elsewhere. Dozens of people have died. Hundreds have been injured in the riots. They have been recorded throwing bricks at the police, at one point somebody shot at the police. A cop was pushed off his bike. Public and private property was destroyed, arson was common place. http://www.breitbart.com... BLM protestors have been blocking traffic different cities. People can"t get to work, some need to get to the hospital, but BLM has no disregard for their lives, so they just illegally block traffic. http://www.cnn.com... They also have been frequently interrupting political events, violating the free speech of the speakers and inciting riots. Everyone saw when BLM protestors stormed Bernie Sanders" stage and took his mike, as well as put him in serious danger. They also shut down a Trump rally and tried to incite a riot with people there to see Trump speak. https://www.allenbwest.com... End The KKK may get rowdy from time to time, but you won"t see them looting, shutting down political rallies and interrupting politicians. The KKK aren"t throwing rocks at police. BLM is dangerous. Unlike the KKK they are large and very active. They loot, riot, arson, encourage and celebrate the murder of police. They block traffic, causing violent confrontations with motorists, interrupting other people"s days and just generally getting in the way of people who need to take their children to the hospital. You won"t see the KKK randomly attacking people who don"t support their cause like the BLM did to a marine that was literally just minding his own business. http://www.breitbart.com...
