Black Lives Matter Movement Speech

In Dr. Martin Luther King’s speech, “Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence”, King asserts that the war in Vietnam is a “symptom” (7) of a much larger disease that affects the “American spirit” (7). The disease King mentions is causing destruction where ever it is found, and in the case of the Vietnam war, it has led to their oppression and the death of people. In the section, Strange Liberators, King states, “They move sadly and apathetically as we heard them off the land of their fathers into concentration camps where minimal social needs are rarely met. They know they must move or be destroyed by our bombs” (8). King believed that the disease was leading the United States to take drastic actions against the Vietnamese people. The U.S.

Around the world there is so racism so going on, people who are different are so getting target by the white man. We believe that racism is completing gone but it's not. Racism is coming back slowly as the years pass us. The only thing that we can do is to keep our bodies safe from all the danger that might happen. Ta-Nehisi Coates has been talking about keeping our bodies safe protected from the danger that happening around the world. People are getting targeted for being different or not being accepted for who they are as humans.

Racism has always been a major problem in America. However, it was known to be the most problematic in the late 1950s. On August 28 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his infamous speech “I Have a Dream” to America. His dream highlighted the injustices of segregation and discrimination of African Americans that took place in this nation every single day. Dr. King inspired thousands despite the color of their skin, to take a stance against racism, with his powerful way with words. In his speech MLK efficaciously uses, Ethos, Pathos, and Logos by using allusions, developing credibility, in his speech to persuade all Americans to be aware of the problems with racism.

A necessary and common fight for equality has been one that has survived throughout all of man’s existence. Due to recent racial divide and the product of racial profiling, a movement has risen up to combat these common issues. The most recent and most well-covered is the Black Lives Matter Movement. Even though it has been lauded by some media sources and individuals as the next great movement to champion for civil rights, the Black Lives Matter movement is not the same as the African-American Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s nor is it likely to be as successful. If the Black Lives Matter Movement continues with discrepancies in ideology, lack of clear leadership, and trends of hate, the movement is doomed to fail.

Cesar Chavez is an important man who wrote an inspiring speech in September 1965. His brilliant speech explains how industrious farm-workers deserve their rights. As the farmers went on strike, they searched for better working conditions and pay increases. The powerful strike took about six weeks that was still developing. Chavez built an organization supporting farmers in California. Cesar Chavez made a unique speech that left a powerful legacy behind him after people read and heard his speech.

"Hands Up, Don't Shoot", black Lives matter. This is the slogan that the black man has taken on to

Stokely Carmichael gave his most famous speech on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley in 1966. His speech, “Black Power,” addresses the issue of black racism in America and gives strategies for advancing black civil rights. His use of ethos, logos, and pathos is successful in getting the audience to engage and connect with his speech.

Dr. Martin Luther King’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech was delivered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C on August 28, 1963. The speech is one in which has gained much recognition over the years and virtually won Dr. King the Nobel Peace Prize for his non-violent approach towards racism. Mahatma Gandhi was one of King’s prominent inspirations for his nonviolent movement. Gandhi, decades before Dr. King, practiced non-violence acts and civil disobedience. The will and strength that Gandhi possessed while advocating for peace and non-violence during the terrible events that had taken place in India moved Dr. King to find the path he had to take during his own strides to create a better America, primarily for African Americans. Although

Ferguson has has little to no black representation in their city council, school boards, police force, and such all though the community is mostly made up of PoC.

“My people,” I begin, standing in front our nightly fire, “we are gathered here today because our land- the land of our people has been claimed by white men who seem to believe it is their own. Tomorrow at dawn we will fight for our freedom, our land, and our people!” The 600 men I had brought with me erupted into a chorus of cheers and shouts.

I want you to know your opinions are a refreshing point of view. I want you before you continue reading, I am white and very conservative, but not a racist or prejudice by any means. I think the awareness you are trying to bring is good and I'm sorry for the trouble you are being given. The threats and negativity come from the insecure, guilt-ridden and lazy, regardless of race. Thank you for standing up. Of course, every good comes with opinions. You have so many likes, followers and supporters. At the risk if overstepping, I am offering a suggestion. You are successfully bring the Black movement controversy from a different point of view. What happened a little over a week ago is an injustice to the American people. Now that the group is spending, maybe consider changing the name. I see for as much support you are giving, Beyoncé is benefitting financially from the attention. I'm not certain if this is a valid point, but the group name could pull away from the objective. Just a suggestion, I'm sorry for offending you, Mr. Harrison, and any of your followers. It's good to see those speak out. The young lives that will be stepping up to run our country and continue to mold our society, need to see and understand all sides of the issues. As I pointed out, I am white. Should I come forward and speak out strongly about these tense issues I believe would create larger issues. The more your (and my) opinions finally are supported publicly, the more confident will become to step up.

In Ferguson, MO on August 9, 2014 at 12:01 am, Mike Brown Jr. (18 years of age, High school graduate) was gunned down in the streets of Ferguson by officer Darren Wilson (An officer in Ferguson, MO, born May 14, 1986, from Fourth Worth Texas), because Mike Brown and his friend Dorian Johnson were walking down the middle of the street only 5 minutes from my house in Ferguson. The killing of Mr. Brown Jr. didn’t have to happen plus there was no reason all the money spent on Darren Wilson’s training in what to do in standoff situations that any one should have been harmed/killed in that situation. Police officers are Average Salary (Police officers reported an average yearly salary of $56,260, or $27.05 an hour, as of

Some folks say and support “Black Lives” and others, “All Lives”. As time go on, things take a turn ‘for the worse’. The ‘turn for the worse’ is due to the mindset of many people and the mass media. With time should come justice, peace and common ground on what is happening, but what if no one is supportive or have no knowledge of what is to come? The saying of “All Lives Matter” is deleterious and ruinous to the “Black Lives Matter” movement and support and to the black community by deteriorating their beliefs, livelihood, and mentality.
