African American Shooting Speech
I want to know why are there racists in this world. I especially want to know why is it 2016 and we still have race issues going on in this country. Over the past year we have seen many shooting of African Americans. It is statistically proven that African American men are more vulnerable to get treated poorly for the same crime that a white man would do. I’m not saying that the shooting was all because of race. It’s just the fact of black people are racially profiled for no reason. I don’t think it is fair that I have to be at a disadvantage and would be profiled by certain people because of my skin color instead of my

    Mickey Mcclinton's Conflict In South Carolina

    For a long time racism has been present in our lives, be it in the United States or along with every other country in the world. Racism is evident in many communities across the world and many nations exhibit this notion race superiority. In the current case study, “ Conflict in South Carolina” we see how the death of a young black, African American stirred up an entire community on allegations of a racially motivated murder. We see how a community was torn apart and riled up over the death of Mickey McClinton. They felt that he was murdered and his body was mutilated because of his interracial relationship.…

    Trayvon Martin Persuasive Speech

    Imagine leaving your house and never returning back. Imagine being assaulted and killed by neighborhood watch, in an unfamiliar area to you. Is that how the gated communities keep down the crime? Killing young innocent teenagers, does that set the tone for any future crimes? When it’s raining outside, do you wear a hood on your head too if be available? Imagine being profiled as a burglar or on drugs because of this hood you had on in the rain. When you look in the mirror every morning, do you think to yourself, I hope I don’t die today?…

    David Hilliard Black Panther Speech Analysis

    David Hilliard wrote this speech in response to the trial of Bobby Seale, the president of the Black Panther Party. Hilliard was the Chief Editor of the Black Panther newspaper. His use of language throughout the speech is very powerful and thought provoking, even the two counts of explicative words are used well to enhance his points. Hilliard is constantly pointing out the evils of the American system, and shown through examples within our nations history. At the same time, he is trying to get his audience to see that Bobby Seale is just an ordinary man trying to use his constitutional right, the right to bear arms. He turns this around on the U.S government, stating that because…

    On Feb.14, 2018, a nineteen-year-old Nikolas Cruz opened fire on students attending Stoneman Douglas High School. He killed 17 students raising questions about how a nineteen-year-old was able to attain a semi-automatic rifle. This is a tragedy, such a sad waste of human life.

    Trayvon Martin Persuasive Speech

    It all began with Trayvon Martin, a young black man who was shot and killed by officer George Zimmerman. Trayvon was a 17-year-old student who lived in Miami Gardens, Florida. He was fatally shot by Zimmerman back in 2012 and according to CNN, the U.S. Justice Department declared that federal civil charges were not brought against the crimes of George Zimmerman. This being said Black Lives Matter is often misinterpreted by others as a terrorist group that believes that black lives are far more important than any other racial group. The black lives movement is to raise awareness for the equality of the lives of these visible minorities. “Police killed at least 346 black people in the U.S. in 2015” (Mapping Police Violence). This clearly demonstrates how privileged white police officers use their authority to kill defenceless and harmless African Americans. Why should members of the black community have to walk down the streets in fear? Why should members of the black community have to protest for equality in 2016? Why should members of the black community be labelled as “violent” and shot even when unarmed? Modern society has…

    White Fragility: Why It's So Hard To Talk To White People About Racism?

    Racism comes in different forms of stereotypes, limitation, and assumptions that affect certain ethnic groups differently than others but all have the same negative effect. This then creates stereotypical power status, giving the illusion of how one racial group is superior compared to others. An example that shows great understanding of the issue is the article, “White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard to Talk to White People About Racism” by Dr. Robin DiAngelo who explains how the topic of racism plays a huge role is social interaction between people of different ethnic groups. The author states, “It became clear over time that white people have extremely low thresholds for enduring any discomfort associated with challenges to our racial worldviews.” (DiAngelo, 36) This displays the power of stereotypes to spread around communities about each ethnic group, resulting in them facing daily obstacles of how to handle racial profiling situations that results in people not being able to protect their racial feelings and human rights, challenge white authority, meritocracy which is addressing the issue of unequal right between racial groups, and white centrality. Overall, racism is just but one of the many factors that contribute to this broken state of…

    Fear of a Black President

    We live in a world that revolves around racism. Every single person we encounter comes with a set of predispositions based solely on race that society has constructed. In his article “Fear of a Black President”, Ta-Nehisi Coates discusses how America conveys the false idea that racism is extinct simply because our president is Black. But how could racism be over when Americans constantly use racialization to marginalize one another? The harsh reality is that every race faces some form of discrimination and unless we acknowledge this; racism will remain inevitable in American society.…

    Abolishing Slavery In America

    The African American population is growing and Americans are now a mixed group of people. Black people are white people's neighbors, doctors, and friends. With a growing unity between the two races, why does racism continue? The answer is simple. Racists from many years ago raise their kids in clans and white supremacy groups and teach them the ways of hatred. These kids grow up "brain-washed" that black people are their enemies and, taught by example, will continue this trend (The Volume Library; 1988).…

    Essay On Racism In America

    Do you believe racism is still a problem today? Have you ever experienced or witnessed a racist act? Racism is the belief that all members of each race in the world today possess characteristics or abilities that pertain specifically to that race, especially to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races. Although, some people do not have any issues at all with the concept of racism; majority of people living in America deal with racism in their everyday lives. Racism and discrimination have been used as powerful weapons encouraging fear or hatred of others in times of conflict and even during economic downturns. This is very demoralizing because we are all human beings and of course every one of us…

    African American Informative Speech

    America is most known to be the “nation of immigrant.” The nation that accepts foreigners and helps them pursue an American Dream. It helps you all together make someone out of yourself by providing opportunities to make that dream a reality. Although this may be true, the nation that gives you a label a label that makes you feel completely uncomfortable.
