Dave Chappelle Poor White People

This appeals to the white public by showing how little effort they have put forward in order to help battle discrimination. He is dispirited by the bystanders who are not directly affected by the issues at

He then says how he himself can not celebrate the fourth of July due to his skin color. “This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn.” He says this because only white people are the ones who are celebrating their “freedom.” The slaves still have to work for the white men and nothing really changes for them. He goes on to say that the slaves are not really free because they are still slaves and are not being treated fairly. Towards the end of the speech, he is saying how no other nation is as cruel as the United States and that no one else in the world can compare. “Go where you may, search where you will, roam through all the monarchies and despotisms of the old world, travel through South America, search out every abuse, and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the side of the everyday practices of this nation, and you will say with me, that, for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival.” This quote suggests that no matter where a person goes to look in the world, if they were to get information on abuse on other nations, it would not be as cruel as it is in the United States and that no other nation comes

No one cares about me” Ivin repeatedly adds, this statement she uses, represents the underclass poor whites, they need to feel that they have a voice and his supporters believe that he cares about them. Trump supporters use the excuse that's he's already rich to give reason to “he can't be bought”. The wealthy elites depend on the white underclass, so that is why they [the wealthy elites] have persuaded the underclass to vote along with them to “help keep America great”. Here Jonna Ivin questions “who are we keeping America great for?” I agree with her questioning here, it's not the 1600’s there are no slaves, the wealthy elites shouldn't have control over the “poor whites” they all need to think for themselves, and they shouldn't be putting ideas through people's heads. White underclassmen need to open their eyes because they're in denial, they want a voice in our society, the government hasn't failed the wealthy, they've failed everyone but them. The poorer underclass whites believe Trump cares and will take their opinions into account, but open your eyes America, he won't, he lies, and he doesn't care, it's not about making America great, it's about making the great even

The President asks a series of questions including, “How many white children have gone uneducated? How many white families have lived in stark poverty?” He provides these questions to show that not only black people were struggling, but many white families were also in need of help. By stating this, the President appeals to all people in hopes that they rally behind him in improving civil rights.

The President claims to be the champion of the “little guy,” which he has time and time again defined as the white, male coal-miner in Appalachia. But in a study released by the Economic Policy Institute in 2016, people of color will make up the majority of the working class by 2032 and by 2043, the country will be majority people of color. With this in mind, how can the President claim to be working for the “little guy” if there is an underdog “little guy?” In a report by Samantha Bee (“The Actual Forgotten Working Class | January 17, 2018 Act 3 | Full Frontal on TBS”), a late night political talk show host, she interviewed 6 middle-class people of color and 1 middle class white woman who reveal that they are the feel forgotten by the President when he says he works for the “little guy.” The interviewees strongly believe that the President does not represent their issues or concerns well enough such as health care, affordable education, immigration, and much more.

Once again this was done to retroactively confirm the opinions the predominantly Democratic audience held, but in this instance towards Trump supporters. The demographic of white voters without a college degree heavily favour Donald Trump, constituting for the majority of those supporting Trump (Mcgill). Within a brief conversation between Trump and one of his supporters, the supporter said, “It is an honor sir… I’ve been out of work for two years now, rough times but then you came and said that you were gonna bring every single job back to our town” (YouTube). NBC effectively personified the stereotypes of the demographic targeted within their showcase, including the perceptions that the audience had towards Trump supporters. By scripting that the worker has been unemployed for 2 years and that he believes all jobs will return to America in the aftermath of Trumps presidency, NBC portrays Trump supporters as being lethargic, superficial, and oblivious.

He addresses the situation about gun violence and uses the term “these people” which illustrates that he is strongly supportive for only one group of individuals in society. Donald Trump is for helping the

The question to behold is, are Political Parties really representing who the American voters are? People oftentimes express that the people of their own political parties are not really giving a good image for the people of their own party. Hillary Clinton was supposed to represent the Democratic party for the 2017 election. With being such an admirable figure any mistake can be taken and a sign of being a liar, deceptive, and manipulative. Those who support her and her Political Party are perceived to be a lying, deceptive, manipulator, but that does not mean that her followers are. The same concept can be applied to Trump, oftentimes he is seen to have no filter, as a racist, and even sexist as well, and again the same thing can be said about Trump; just because he is viewed as that, that does not mean that his followers are the same

By reading this article I came to the conclusion that very opinionated individuals who passed their beliefs surrounded Trump from an early age. Like James mentality “ if it works, its true,” Trump accepted that the less immigrants that surrounded him the better it would be for him. His adaption into this mentality is the result of his hatred toward different

"The colored people are coming to face the fact quite calmly that most white Americans do not like them, and are planning neither for their survival, nor their definite future"

He encourages Joel to stand up for his culture because he also does not believe in what the anthem says. His cultural priority is displayed through his dialogue; “Should a white fella stand up and do a black fella corroboree?”

Here is a little rundown on what I have learnt about Trump through specific research and generally how he is depicted over social media, news and current affairs program. Donald Trump appears to be misogynistic, sexist, racist, xenophobic, islamophobic, transphobic and homophobic just to name a few. His bigotry is overwhelming and outstanding. This might appear to be impertinent and rather judgmental, however it is justified with an overwhelming amount of evidence. However, today I will primarily be focusing on islamophobia.

In this he reaches out to all backgrounds and religions to try and unite them in the common cause. Claiming that they have all suffered in this together. And that to be aware that it is election year and that the white man will smile at you most when he needs you and look down upon you when he doesn’t. This speech resonated because I could not help but think of this year. 2016 is an election year. Yes we have come a long way but not as far as we had hoped. We are still facing the race debate. And many of the battles and obstacles that Malcom X faced then, are still being faced

From the context of the speech, President Trump anticipated that the middle-class citizens of America would reason with him the most, being the targeting audience. The rest of the country, as well as other first-world nations, were intended to be the secondary audience. With this in mind, President Trump knows that he has already won the middle-class as a leader, now he aims to prove to these hard-working individuals that he will be everything they want in a president and more. The speech starts off by talking negatively towards the current situation in America, discussing issues like poverty and a failing education system. Trump makes sure to talk down on the current state of America so that his audience will feel more inclined to favor his choices that he promises to bring, which is what he then begins to talk about.

He states, “America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked ‘insufficient funds.’” (Jr). This is an analogy to which everyone can relate because everyone understands money and can recognize in being handed a bad check. He also speaks about discrimination and segregation. He uses this logic to make people understand that nothing will get better unless discrimination and segregation are eliminated.
