Comparing Rhetorical Analysis Of Tim Wise's Logos And Pathos

445 Words | 2 Pages

Tim Wise’s article contains a lot of emotion and it is though the clever tactic of appealing to Logos and Pathos that Wise makes the reader really consider what he is speaking about. There is even an ethos aspect to his argument. Since Wise is a white man shaming his own race, this removes bias which in turn gives him credibility. Now to examine the Logos aspect of his argument. By using the statistic “in past two years, thirty-two young men have either carried out a mass school shooting or attempted to do so, and of these thirty-two, thirty were white teens,” Wise is using the logos aspect of a claim to really make the reader consider the gravity of the situation and take into consideration his appeal to begin profiling these kids (69).

Analysis Of The Zoot Suit Riots

242 Words | 1 Pages

When history is whitewashed, it is filtered to hide marginalized groups and oppression. Recently on the news, textbook company McGraw-Hill stated that the company will rewrite a portion of their book which referred to African American slaves as workers and immigrants (McAfee, 2015). I was offended by the fact that McGraw-Hill even published a book that slaves were called workers and immigrants. To say that African Americans were workers and not slaves changes the whole fundamental history of enslaved populations; workers implies a willingness, when in fact, African American slaves were not willing participants. When you change the wording in textbooks, you change people’s views and perspectives of historical events and their everlasting effects on cultures.

Immorality In James Baldwin's Black Intellectual Jeemiad

248 Words | 1 Pages

Through the various works of historic Black Intellectual Jeremiads and modern civil rights activists, one can understand that Black individuals in America have and continue to be subjected to positions of unfreedom. This social fact— evoked by the oppressor’s (whites) need to keep the oppressed (Blacks) ignorant, thereby disenfranchised and incapacitated— problematizes notions introduced by James Baldwin when he states, “we cannot be free until they are also free.” Though Baldwin’s optimistic intentions of American unity as the result of black and white solidarity seemingly revokes Black agency in our own liberation and leaves us permanently doomed to white recognition of their own immorality, he is correct to an extent. This is because systemic

The 13th, By Ava Duvernay

976 Words | 4 Pages

Interviewing several professors that have done research on the field of social justice demonstrates the fact that they are knowledgeable on the topic of the continuity of racism and the use of different races eliminates a racial bias. This is important because these professors all agree about the hidden consequences of the 13th Amendment towards the black community that are present current day, supporting the continuation of racism throughout the past 150 years. Furthermore, the use of raw media of past historical events develops credibility because they happened on a first-hand account. This is significant since there is a lot of raw media showcasing discrimination towards the black community over the past 150 years, mostly in the process of incarceration, contributing to the overall memo of the continuity of racism post-13th

Emenike Stereotypes

1053 Words | 5 Pages

Matthew Desmond and Mustafa Emirbayer (2009:342) argue in the Du Bois Review that “racism is much broader than violence and epithets” and reveals itself in common, everyday microaggressions. In May 2010, a string of assaults on elderly citizens of Asian descent by black individuals transpired in the San Francisco Bay area (Shih 2010). CBS San Francisco ran a segment covering the attacks featuring an interview with a 21-year-old black man named Amanze Emenike, who had a criminal history of juvenile robbery and theft (CBS 2012). CBS uses Emenike’s history as a basis for theorizing the motives driving the black attackers in the May 2010 attacks. This news segment sheds light on troubling portrayals of black men and people of color in mass media as all being dangerous criminals, as well as the stereotypes fueling racism amongst minority groups.

Police Brutality Over The Last 500 Years People Of Color

1467 Words | 6 Pages

Over the last 500 years people of color, especially African American, have endured a pattern of state-sanctioned violence, civil and human rights abuse. To enforce capitalist exploitation and racial oppression the government and its police, courts, prisons, and military have beaten, framed, murdered, and executed private persons, while brutally repressing struggles for freedom, justice, and self-determination” (Fitzgerald, 2007). More often than not, police brutality has been a persistent problem faced by African Americans. “Historically, racist violence has been used to impose racial oppression and preserve white power and privilege. Racist violence has served five primary purposes: to force people of color into indentured, slave, peonage, or low wage situations; to steal land, minerals, and other resources; to maintain social control and to repress rebellions; to restrict or eliminate competition in employment, business, politics, and social life; and to unite “whites” across ethnic/national, class, and gender lines” (Fitzgerald, 2007).

Columbus Day Myth

673 Words | 3 Pages

“Myth of the essential white American”- that the essential American soul is a killer” (Ortiz, 2014, pg. 94). Chapter 5, The Birth of a Nation, concluded with this quote and I thought it was interesting. As I reflect on the opening vignette which quotes Martin Luther King Jr.; stating that “our nation was born in genocide” and we are probably the only nation that tries to wipe out an entire nation and even to today, we as a nation has not been allowed to feel ashamed of our history (Ortiz, 2014, pg.78). These are some powerful statements which critiques our nation’s history and people for all the genocides, oppression and domination that has taken place over centuries and one can argue this cycle of behaviors have trickled down into our society

Mass Incarceration In The Criminal Justice System

586 Words | 3 Pages

Slavery, Jim Crow, the ghetto, and the carceral apparatus are all structural institutions that share a mutual beneficial relationship where each has supplemented and historically progressed into more advanced subtle forms of oppression and racism. Past and current regimes served as social functions with the objective of encompassing African Americans in a permanent subordinate position. In each generation, newer developments of a racial caste emerge with the same objective of repudiating African Americans citizenship. The only thing that has changed since Jim Crow is the language we use to justify racial exclusion (Alexander, 2). These four regimes are genealogically linked because they all advanced and developed from one another.

Reflective Essay On Racism

Today in class, we discussed a topic that is deeply engraved in American history yet widely avoided by many: race.

We watched several videos containing a variety of people discussing their own personal thoughts and feelings on such terms to spark our own conversations on the same topics. After viewing the first video on the word “racist,” I began to reflect on my own actions towards other people.
