Analyzing The Stereotypes Of Reverend Sloan

Another stereotype can be seen in Sloan Hopkins. At first, Sloan’s stereotype seemed similar to that of Delacroix. She is portrayed as the highly educated woman who did not want anything to do with her brother who promoted African culture and black power. However, as the film went on her character took on another stereotype; that of the promiscuous black woman. Near the end of the film it comes to Manray’s attention that Sloan “slept her way to the top” and wouldn’t be in the position she is in without the “help” of Delacroix. Whether this is true or not viewers never find out, as Sloan says it isn’t true, but we can’t be sure. While we hope that it isn’t true, the stereotype remains regardless. Rumor or not, Sloan is pigeonholed into the archetype of a licentious black woman. This characterization is demeaning to Sloan’s character, as it is to all black women.

The reality was that there were political leaders who were educating and inspiring people to rebel and become and be resistant. They were the people with revolutionary ideas that wanted to be kept silent by the white supremacy because they were seen as a threat. Davis took on the responsibility to speak up for their rights. When Angela was put in prison people began to organize rallies for the liberation of Angela and all political prisoners. Angela like the political prisoners was viewed as a danger to society. People around the world began to support her demanding her freedom. While Davis was in prison Jackson is killed and Davis talks about rage for the system. That rage that bell hook talks about in her book, Killing Rage: Ending Racism and how people can turn that those negative feelings and have a positive outcome by protesting, speaking up and create change. If people do to fight back the white supremacy will continue to oppress and kill people of color if people. Being resistant and picking ourselves up when defeated will only make people stronger. Davis just like Hooks believes resistance is a reaction to the injustice and people need to build it and over the time allow it to mature. They believe that people need to keep fighting to inspire others to create

Segregation had had many effects on the black nation, to the point that it started building up ones character, “See the depressing clouds of inferiority begin to form in her little mental sky and see her begin to distort her little personality by unconsciously developing a bitterness towards white people”, King shows readers that segregation is even affecting little children, that it is starting to build up a young girls character and is contributing to the child developing hatred “bitterness” towards the white Americans. King makes readers imagine a black cloud settling in a young girls brain mentally, when instead she should have an image of a colorful blue sky with a rainbow, isn’t that suppose to be part of a 6 year-old’s imagination? King gives readers an image of destruction civil disobedience had created in the black community, especially in the young innocent little children.

By commitment, the group must not give up their cause no matter the obstacle they fce or the harassment they undergo. In the text, it is shown that the group of protesters is sabotages and defaced many times but still fight for their cause. This is shown when King writes,”A white woman one of our leaflets, which her Negro maid had left in the kitchen. The irate woman immediately telephoned the newspapers to let the community know what we were up to…Martin later said we owed them a great debt.”(512). This quote shows how that the group actually benefited from the sabotage, but the real message being conveyed is that if they do not give up their cause and continue to fight for their freedoms, they will eventually impact society due to the pue effort, commitment and the sole will to make change. This is the final category to make change because as shown perseverance will go a long way because if even a small group will fight, the cause will never die out.

With the people of The United States of America categorized as the audience, King speaks to people of all races and ethnicity. This discriminated audience included the grasping appeals to the ethos, pathos, and logos. As each appeal is fully informed of the rhetorical purpose, King finds a way to encourage all three. Through several metaphors and types of imagery, he makes the decision to speak to all of the appeals in order to accomplish to need for change. Clearly aimed directly at the hearts of blacks and making the whites feel ashamed of their actions brought together a turn in society as they knew it. This specific structure geared towards the audience was the main reason why King impacted Americans across the country and not just at the march. These different appeals mixed within the audience to help King influence his purpose of racial equality as each type of person could relate to his moving words.

In the year of 2015, more than 102 unarmed African American people were slaughtered by police officers, making it nearly twice every week. Trayvon Martin was the first people to influence the Black Lives Matter Movement creating a guide to end police brutality regarding African Americans. Although some people believe the Black Lives Matter Movement was successful because of their huge exposure, it was not successful because many unarmed African Americans who were murdered did not receive justice, prejudice people towards Blacks are still stereotyping, and there is still police brutality.

Stereotypes are no secret. Everybody develops them in some way or another and uses them in social interactions. These generalizations, both positive and negative, about a characteristic(s) of a group (“Stereotypes) have existed throughout modern and historical societies. The husband in Raymond Carver’s “Cathedral” interacts with Robert based off of stereotypes formed from social norms and media portrayals of disabled persons. He treats Robert in a negative manner at first relying on those prejudices, but as he comes to know Robert, he re-develops his stereotypes and interacts with Robert in a more positive way.

Soon after, the catalyst that ignites riots in Harlem, which was foreshadowed earlier in the essay, takes place. The riots begins when a rumor spread claiming that a white police officer shot a black soldier in the back, which wasn’t the truth at all (81). The way

My last takeaway is that it is important to tell our young black people that it is important to try to change the world even if it seems impossible. This generation could be the change. We can go into this world scared nor afraid of living in this world. The black community may be afraid police and the hierarchy of the white population, but we can change the views of them. This world has changed so much from the beginning to now; what is change people’s minds? If we can come together as one community working as one we can be a force to be reckoned with. We just have to be a united front.

Seen in the character Jones, the poor, African American experiencing social injustice from his boss Ms. Lee. Ms. Lee takes advantage of the skin color of this young man and pays him less than the minimum wage by threatening him to report him to the police of an untrue crime. There is also several situations where the African American characters call out this modern day slavery while in a deep discussion between Jones and his friend Watson, “ ‘Really bad? Hey! I’m working in modern day slavery. If I quit, I get report for being vagran.” In this quote, Jones clearly acknowledges his position in the society but is left without any hope to make a difference due to his race. You also see this theme through the novel through the eyes of Ignatius, which criticizes the society not only for racism but also for a very materialistic out view on life. Seen in the scene where Ignatius takes his usual trip to the movie theatre where he spends his time spitting out rude comments loudly of the poor music, actors,

Dr. Taylor talked about the many problems African-American minorities are facing in today’s society. One particular topic that he focused on was about how some people in the black is blaming everyone for their problems. In addition, he explained that the black community is violently rioting vs. peacefully assembling to get their point across. The ethical concept that Dr. Taylor was discussing was peacemaking criminology. This concept states that using violence in a response to violence create more violence and harm. This is a good concept to put together what Dr. Taylor was explaining because of the rioting that has been popping up around the country. For example, the riots in Ferguson, the people involved in the riots wanted to show that police

Mr. Cunningham is a hard worker, he is also an honorable man, he wants to protect young Mayella’s honor by lynching Tom Robinson so there is no trial. Walter realizes that he is poor that he cannot really do anything about it. This also supports the fact that in Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill A Mocking Bird, the idea that prevailing attitudes and values of a society can affect

In the final chapter of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s last book, Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?, King proposed that humanity was at a turning point where it had to choose between chaos and community. By looking through the contrasts evident in the book, the terms chaos and community as they relate to King’s book were shown to be the differences in the methods of the Black Power movement and the Civil Rights movement. In his book, King’s analysis of both movements through the lens of hope showed how chaos and community in the overall movement were diametrically opposed.

King is able to unify the protesters, encourage them to rise up together, and defeat the atrocity of racism by alluding to their anguish through personification and imagery. For example, King recognizes that “the nation is sick”(King 2). King assigns human qualities to the nation in order to comment on the offenses committed against the African Americans by the people of the nation. These offenses remind the audience of their common struggle and unify them. In doing so, King reveals that this is an issue but it can be resolved and the audience can heal the nation as they would a human being. Imagery in King’s speech also develops the intensity of the distress African Americans face. To illustrate, King describes “thirteen hundred of God’s children here suffering, sometimes going hungry, going through dark and dreary nights” (King 4). This gut-wrenching image causes the audience to feel immense sorrow and anguish for the African Americans depicted. These emotions are uniform in every member of the audience and thus unites them on an emotional level. A pathetic appeal is integrated into King’s argument to stop this pain and

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said ”Lightning makes no sound until it strikes”. This quote means that something bad or destructive cannot be found or uncovered until it has been put into action. It also means that a revolution can be assembled quietly and that it can strike with power. MLK said this because he wanted the populace to learn how a something that is quiet can strike with unknowing force. In his case, the Negro Revolution was his cause of this quote. After being treated badly, they decided to make a quiet revolution, and then strike with frightening force.
