Persuasive Speech

A neighbor guardian who was given clear direction not to seek after a “criminal” by police kills a 17-year-old kid, yet they need to know why we protest? Stunning. This is the moment when you got so angry all you could do is laugh. Its astounding to see how many people are willing to step over the corpse of African Americans and not change an expression but send a kid who rapes an unconscious black woman to jail for 3 months and its the saddest moment in history. Thinking back to when Jesse Williams spoke words of color when he said, "Just because we're magic, doesn't mean we're not real" I realize that we truly are magic and to them; it's a threat that we're learning that. The more we learn about ourselves and the more we see through the corrupt of the government and the more we will beat a system that was never implied for us. Malcolm X once said, "If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything". Malcolm was assassinated in 1965 and these words speak volumes today just as much as it did 51 years ago. It is absolutely clear that as a black individual living in this United States of America, you are always at

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.

Sandy Bland was stopped by a police office and sent to jail the reasons are yet unknown. Sandy spent only one day in jail because officers found her hung the next day. Authorities claimed that she committed suicide because they found her already hung however Sandy’s family refuses to believe the authorities story. People went out to the streets to create awareness for Sandy but not just her everyone who participated took this opportunity to bring awareness about Kindra Chapman who was also found dead in a cell just one day after Sandy was found. The crime doesn’t end there this movement of the black lives matter was also mourning the death of a transgender women who was killed because police officers beat her to death. Many people may not know of these crimes because there’s not enough awareness about them, this is why this organization is doing this to inform people that “the white supremacy continues to kill men, women and children of color” stated one of the co-founders of the Black Lives Matter.

Black lives matter protests have been seen all over America many have turned violet causing death or injuries. The latest one is was in Utah where a 50-year-old man Patrick Harmon was shot dead by a Utah police officer after he was trying to run away from the officer. The district attorney called the shooting justified, officers were scared for their lives even though Patrick Hermon was running in the opposite direction. On Wednesday after the district attorney made his decision saying the shooting was justified a video of Patrick Harmon was released. In the video, you can clearly hear officer Clinton Fox yelling “ I’ll blanking shot you” right before Clinton Fox fires three bullets in Patrick Harmons back. Black lives matter organizer

Protests started once this act of violence was witnessed. What makes it worse, is that, the shooting was done by the people sworn to protect and serve. The police went in with emotion and clouded judgement and shot and killed an innocent man. The stigma

Last year, Colin Kaepernick, an American football player did not stand up for the flag. “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” he protested. In the Misfits we’re reading right now in English class, a character named Addie had a similar protest with Colin Kaepernick about standing for the flag. I support Colin and Addie, because the police shootings are becoming a huge problem each year, and because veterans support him.

Persuasive speech outline purpose: To persuade my audience to donate blood through the American Red Cross. Introduction:

These young men did not have a chance to tell their sides but a simple video left us speechless at the events that would take place. What really shook the nation was how these men (police officers) were only given a slap on the wrist, charging them with nothing. This impacted the whole nation in a very negative way. This simply stated that many of the things that should have been abolished were still there, Racism to be exact. These young black men were not given an opportunity, Travon simply walked to the store with a hoodie on but because he didn’t look like one that should be in the type of neighborhood that they were in, he was targeted. Philando Castille simply reached for an ID when stopped by law enforcement because that’s what was asked for him to provide but what should have been a simple traffic stop turned out to be his death only for simply trying to provide photo ID. So, is there any such thing as peaceful resistance or even a free society to express simply you? There may have been laws passed but there are some things still wrong with the American People. I do believe that this determines what’s on the inside of all us that determines how we handle such situations and how it

Most Americans are aware that in American we have the freedom of speech even if it is not with words, for example symbolic speech. People can protest caring signs and wear shirts that symbolize what they are protesting. (Miller, 2016) The protesters who looted the 7-Eleven most likely thought that they were just practicing their Freedom of Speech, because they have the right to protest but they forget the rest of the amendment where it states “The rights to assemble peaceably” Which looting is not peaceful at all. Businesses are being affected because of Black Lives Matter movement’s actions. Some of these people probably do not realize that Black Lives Matter members could be owners of these businesses. The protesters have a Mens Rea, wrong mental state, from before going out to protest. Most people are getting heated up from social media and people who do not know what is really going on and just want to be included. People are mad because cops are killing blacks, but what kind of country is proud for killing police officers, let alone another American. On top of it they are destroying the business around them, not caring for others but

Have you served in a war? Has your father or mother served in a war? How about your grandpa? As we honor those who have served we typically do so by standing for the pledge of allegiance or star spangled banner. We say thank you to our war heroes or we go and visit them and listen to their stories. In this paper I will be discussing why NFL players should not be allowed to kneel for the flag. Although the NFL players have the right to peacefully protest, they should find a different way than kneeling as it shows disrespect towards the flag also active duty military and veterans, it teaches young children this behavior is okay, what they are protesting has nothing to do with the flag and there are many different ways to get their message out.

Some of these men resisted peacefully, and some fought back, but it doesn’t matter. At the end of the day, they were all shot and killed, with no consequence to officers. It is unfair to live in a “free society” and have to fear for your life due to the very same people who promised to serve and protect. A lot of media attention has been brought to this situation, and public figures are taking a stance against it. For example, Colin Kaepernick stopped standing during the pledge of allegiance. Honestly, I don’t blame him because there is no “liberty and justice for all.” He is getting a lot of hate and backlash, even from his own

Students at Palmyra Area High School should not be allowed to display information supporting the display of the Confederate Flag in the atrium. The flag is seen as a controversial symbol, and can allow disruption to happen throughout the school. Supporting the flag is seen as a something throughout heritage, however, the flag can also be seen as racist. Throughout school hours, the school has the privilege to monitor the student's free speech, attempting to make the school a place that all the students want to be.

Honestly I'm not surprised another black man was shot and killed! Racism is still unfortunately still around and as much as you can protest and fight off your always going to end up hurt. Studies show that black men are 120/100,000 are injured by law enforcement while a white person injured by law enforcement is 20/100,000. These are all facts however it doesn't mean all police officers are horrible people. But what is going on with police officers shooting innocent or maybe even not innocent people is not ok. You should never take someone's life I mean aren't you supposed to be saving lives not taking them? However protesting against a police officer and dangerous and of you are a black Male unfortunately you have to get this talk of don't

For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” This quote it by Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein is a physicist that was born in Germany. Some of his accomplishments are learning that the universe was dynamic. He also created a major part in atomic energy, E=MC2. It's relevant because I tried something new that I’ve never done before.
