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.

- "about the claims : -

making a claim is just a fancy way of saying that you're stating your main point.' claims are not just opinions. a claim tells what you think is true about a topic based on your knowledge .

about the country claims : -

a counterclaim is just the opposite of a claim. counterclaims are also provable and supportable by reasons and evidence. not just, 'because i said so.' when you're planning an argument, you need to know what the counterclaim might be so that you can make sure that you disprove it with your reasons and evidence your research." - (catherineroberts)
