1. personal narrative explains how I feel about the topic, 2. then music by Naz I Can this song just talk about various parts of history that we aren’t taught in the history books. Lyrics to “I Can” Chorus I know I can Be what I want to be If I work hard at it I'll be where I want to be [Kids] I know I can (I know I can) Be what I want a be (be what I want a be) If I work hard at it (If I work hard at it) I'll be where I want a be (I'll be where I want a be)

verse Be, be, 'fore we came to this country We were kings and queens, never porch monkeys It was empires in Africa called Kush Timbuktu, where every race came to get books To learn from black teachers who taught Greeks and Romans Asian, Arabs and gave them gold when Gold was converted to money it all changed Money then became empowerment for Europeans The Persian military invaded They heard about the gold, the teachings, and everything sacred Africa was almost robbed naked Slavery was money, so they began making slave ships Egypt was the place that Alexander the Great went He was so shocked at the mountains with black faces Shot off they nose to impose what basically Still goes on today, you see? If the truth is told, the youth can grow Then learn to survive until they gain control Nobody says you have to be gangstas, hoes Read more learn more, change the globe Ghetto children, do your thing Hold your head up, little man, you're a king Young Princess when you get your wedding ring Your man is saying "She's my queen"

2. Our form of public health assistance is that we heed perspectives. We have to realize y current USFG aid or assistance is failing. card#1 western health assistance has been grounded in a colonist word view. Nicholas **__Freudenberg,__** Professor of Urban Public Health at Hunter College and of Social Psychology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York., **__2000,__** "Health and Culture: Beyond the Western Paradigm," //Health Education Research// 15.4, p.508-10

Card#2 Western policies have failed because we perceive Africa to be sick. Susan **__Hunter__**, Department of Political Science West Virginia University Morgantown, WV, **__2003__** ,//Black Death AIDS in Ariica,//, p. 52.

Card#3 Western policies have been carried out in a hegemonic manner where the west acts without any consideration, continuing the legacy of colonialism. Collins Airhihenbuwa, Associate Professor at Pennsylvania State University, 1995 //“Health and Culture”//.

Card#4 Euro centric attitudes concerning health in Africa are embedded in an ethnocidal way of thinking. The knowledge’s of whole societies of people have been excluded from the planetary production of knowledge. Challenging this way of thinking requires that we include the perspectives of these silenced societies. Failure to do so only insures the continuation of genocidal violence. Walter **__Mignolo__**, Doctorate de 3ème Cycle from the École des Hautes Études, Paris, **__2000__**, //Local Histories/Global Designs, ,// p.68-70.

ADVOCACY TEXT: AS THE AFFIRMATIVE TEAM WE ADVOCATE DECOLONIZING THE WAY IN WHICH WE CONCEPTUALIZE PUBLIC HEALTH ASSISTANCE TO AFRICA. WE HEED PERSPECTIVES & REWRITE HISTORY TO INCLUDE AFROCENTRIC KNOWLEDGES AND HISTORIES AS A FORM OF PUBLIC HEALTH ASSISTANCE TO AFRICANS. THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS AN EFFECT ON THE DEBATE COMMUNITY AS WELL.

Card#5 **We cannot understand the structures of oppression by thinking about them abstractly. We must heed the perspectives of the oppressed in order to investigate the complex relations of power and domination that exist in society.** **It** **is only supplementing our own perspectives with those of others that we can figure out how best to act in the world**.

Card#6 truly heeding perspectives and challenging the social injustices require that we decide where we stand in the struggle against oppression. This decision shapes our responses and our capacity to envision new acts of resistance. cant find qulifications Fiona **__Campbel__**__l__, 12/4/**__1997__** ,http://members.tripod.com/fionacampbell/speech_acts_on_problematising_empowerment.htm

Card#7 we must view Africans as subjects and human agents instead of objects Queeneth **Mkabela,** University of Zululand, South Africa, Mar.1,**2005** (//The Qualitative Report// Volume 10 Number 1 March 2005 178-189 http://www.nova.edu/ssss/QR/QR10-1/mkabela.pdf, “Using the Afrocentric Method in Researching Indigenous African Culture”)

Card#8 An Afro Centric paradigm is key to relocate research from an African's viewpoint. Queeneth **Mkabela,** University of Zululand, South Africa, Mar.1,**2005** (//The Qualitative Report// Volume 10 Number 1 March 2005 178-189 http://www.nova.edu/ssss/QR/QR10-1/mkabela.pdf, “Using the Afrocentric Method in Researching Indigenous African Culture”)

Card#9 the role of the judge in this round isn’t to function as a policymaker. This year’s resolution allows for you to move beyond that paradigm because it doesn’t call for you to enact a policy, instead you should take the role of a specific intellectual. You should take the bottom up mind set in making you decision. ken was on it and di the partner stuff. .
