Question

Write claim, support, warrant, backing, qualifier and rebuttal

Answer 1

“Race” is terribly difficult to discuss. PC, which continues to be the “ouch” button, makes

but...you let me in the “room” so, in that you did so....I. could continue, but

check out “The United States of America” by Howard Zinn to explore how to
