Barack Obama Visit Puerto Rico
Barack Obama visit Puerto Rico
Obama visited Puerto Rico, there was something like the premier of a movie, it was on every news. There was about a thousand special guests and one of them was the singer and actor Marc Anthony.Obama seemed more interested in talking to Marc Anthony, who he allegedly invited to accompany him on his arrival in San Juan. So it was evident that the President was more happy to talk to him than talk about the colonial problems and criminality. Its seems that everything was linked to attract the votes of Latinos living in the USA.
Just the day before his arrival, Obama had visited the state of Florida, where it is estimated that
848,000 people residents are Puerto Rican. This state is a key of what could be a close presidential race, given that he have experiencing very slow economic recovery in the present of his countrycountry. In his message Obama did what was expected apply for Pathos or our sentimental patriotic feeling, full of generalities. On the video of the program The Daily Show show how he trick us with words appeling to our pride“every day, BORICUAS help to write the american history”(daily show n.p.). He even mention JJ Barea and Marck Anthony to let us know that he know our “heros”. But it was just for tricking us?.
In the show it was everything a joke but with Ethos, Logos and Pathos. It is interesting the fact that most comedians hide behind their comedic freedom of speech to infringe in hate speech and rhetoric. Mocking other races and making fun of them is a trademark of all comedians that back the democratic party. Examples of this are Bill Maher, Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert, etc. Even more interesting is the fact that in a survey, it was found that 60% of the young democrats get their news from "The Daily Show" and not from real news programs. Jon Stewart is a very smart man but he uses his audience to push his political ideology through his bigotry.
The host make very clear that Obama was here on a visit

    After the wake of Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico was left completely without electricity or potable water. During his presidential visit to the island, President Trump diminished the humanitarian crisis that the island is going through by comparing it to a “real catastrophe” like Hurricane Katrina, which had made landfall in the United States twelve years priors. By contrasting the loss of American lives to that of Puerto Rican lives, he suggested that there was a vital difference between the two ; they are not equal, even if they’re both Americans. This same detachment from “true Americans” is seen in how the United States sees and treats American-born Mexicans that have been living in the Texas for centuries. Of course, Mexicans and Puerto…

    The author illustrates our current President Barrack Obama to describe her own experience of her racial background thus appealing to our sense of “ethos” or creditability. She compares his racial background; being a child of a white Kansan mother and a foreign father, to her own similar background. In doing this, she points out that his background is more similar to Latin Americans rather than to blacks, who often trace their…

    As Chappelle walks out onto the stage the crowd whoops and hollers as he takes his place in front of the microphone. As the camera scans over the audience it becomes distinct that the demographic for this show is African American. Chappelle knows that his jokes are appropriate only to this audience because of the way the jokes push boundaries. He understands that his audience will be able to understand his jokes because most of them grew up in the same neighborhood and experienced the same racial stereotypes that he did. For example during his performance he commonly refers back to the audience and waits for their agreement. When talking about a very good friend of his who is white he jokes about how this friend of his would be constantly under the influence when he would cross paths with a police officer. Chappelle then turns to the first row audience members and says “now we all now what would happen if one of us walked up to a police officer high” continuing on to make a joke about police brutality. Now if the audience had been predominantly white then they would have not been able to relate to that joke as well. This shows that Chappelle understood whom his audience was and how to engage them because of his prior experience growing up in a predominantly African American community.…

    Cuba has been on my “must see before I die” list for about ten years now. Something about the impossibility of it made it more appealing to me. I wanted to experience a country that wasn’t dominated by consumerism, a place where new trends rarely reached, and most of all, I wanted to experience what it meant to live a Cuban life. And now, since President Obama took a trip to start mending the not-so-stable relations between both countries, I knew it was my last chance to visit before McDonalds and Starbucks began plopping their consumerist claws on the island.…

    As a Republican, my dad raised me listening Rush Limbaugh’s biased harsh voice and Bill O’Reilly’s segment on Fox News. After becoming a well-informed adult who made my own decisions, I stopped listening to anything that Fox News had to say and focused more on CNN who seemed to be a reputable source of information. Even though CNN provides the best news, that doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy my comedy news shows. I loved the segment with Jon Stewart vs. Bill O’Reilly on Comedy Central. It was a great form of entertainment filled with laughter and information with substance as well as finding out the truth. Debates such as that “rumble” between Stewart and O’Reilly, should be televised in place of The Daily Show because it had more substance and was still entertaining. Based on this, I support the statement made from Jason Zinser stating “Whether people tune in to be entertained, to be informed, or both, the fact is that The Daily Show shapes people’s perspective on the world” (366).…

    Puerto Rican Identity

    • 1580 Words
    • 7 Pages

    The author presentation of the situation was very accurate since it makes an understanding which states that not all Puerto Rican have the same though. It starts from the definition of identity even if it doesn’t have any formal definition and neither one can name it by certain aspects, but like Reichard said: “There has to be a baseline of something you are doing …or following”. One that gets confused by this definition of identity was Antonio Moreda, when he narrates his story: “In Philadelphia, I encountered people who had Puerto Rican flags outside their bedrooms, lots of Puerto Rican music and were so much more into expressing their Puerto Ricanness than I was”. This is the beginning of the conflict that the author tries to present, the fact that they show too much love for their island. At Puerto Rico that conduct is not seen at all, and if seen, is not common compared to the Puerto Ricans that lived in the United…
