Black Lives Matter Movement Persuasive Speech
We have these alleged inalienable rights that let us express ourselves in many ways and anytime anyone displays the use of these rights people get outraged. Lately we've been going through this movement, Black Lives Matter Movement, and people have been protesting, but not getting very good results until now; when a Famous Football star decides to sit during the national anthem. He didn't sit to insult people or to disrespect the flag, but instead draw attention to the fact that innocent people of color are getting murdered. This sparked a monumental debate topic that needed attention and this topic even got presidential eyes on the matter. If he wouldn't have made a statement that got through to everyone, then no one would've paid attention.

    Analyzing Jim Brown's 'The Perilous Fight'

    It has been argued that Colin Kaepernick kneeling while the National Anthem is playing, is absolutely ridiculous, is not showing support for love of this country, and not showing support to the veterans. In “The Perilous Fight,” Jim Brown, a NFL Hall of Famer and a civil rights activist. Told Time, “I would not do anything that has to do with respecting the flag or the national anthem. I don’t think it’s appropriate.” In other words Jim Brown would challenge the normal of standing for the Anthem, no matter the severity of the situation. For this reason opponents argue that Colin Kaepernick kneeling down is not right for him to be testing the flag; but it’s not also right for the police of America to be able to go on a killing spree and have…

    's Not Only Unpatriotic, It's Ignorant, By Kris Kobach

    The take a knee movement is not the first protest the National Anthem has seen, it is just the latest in a long history of “unpatriotic behavior.” Perhaps the most infamous protest was a result of the black power salute held by Tommie Smith and John Carlos in the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, “they didn’t [take a knee]. Instead they raised a fist” (Brown). The Civil Rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s were a time of upheaval for various minority groups of American society, including the black rights movement. Holding a fist instead of placing a hand over the heart got the gold and bronze medals respectively strip from Smith and Carols, for calling attention to real problems that still exist in our country. These brave men “wore beads and a scarf to protest lynchings. And when the national anthem was played, they lowered their heads in defiance and raised their fists in a Black Power salute that rocked the world” (Brown). These acts of defiance have set a stage for other individuals to speak out again the injustice plaguing our society. The downplay of such circumstances is unpatriotic and inhumane, more so than refusing to stand during the National…

    Imagine leaving your house and never returning back. Imagine being assaulted and killed by neighborhood watch, in an unfamiliar area to you. Is that how the gated communities keep down the crime?

    Comparison Between The French Revolution And Shay's Rebellion

    The Constitution grants us our freedom to fight for what we believe in and speak out against what we don’t. Likewise, those who choose to utilize their freedoms leave lasting impacts and could be the spark for nationwide change. It’s not abnormal for people to idolize celebrities, and these celebrities often build a fanbase, which holds true for athlete Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick did not agree with the mentality behind singing the national anthem, he didn’t start a riot or host a protest, he chose instead to kneel while it was sung; contrary to the standard of standing with a hand over your heart. This small display of rebellion led to a movement, several athletes followed in Kaepernick's footsteps, choosing to kneel during the national anthem, protesting the injustice in America.…

    Colin Kaepernick's Controversy

    These actions were viewed in all different way and from all different types of people. From your everyday fan to players, coaches, owners and even the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump. And not everyone was in favor of Kaepernick choice to protest during the National Anthem. “I agree that America is not perfect. I agree that there are a lot of issues with minorities in this country. And I agree that we should do something about it. But I don't know if the most effective way is to sit down when the National Anthem of a country that has provided you freedom and is provided you $60 million a year is the best way to do it, when there are black minorities that are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan that are protecting our freedom for less than $20,000 a year” (Alejandro Villanueva, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman, Aug. 29, 2016). But the biggest moment during the last 13 months happened on September 22 2017 when president Donald Trump stated “Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects the flag, to say get that son of a bitch off the field right now. He's fired. He's fired”. This single quote would spark outrage…

    Women's Suffrage Persuasive Speech

    Addressing a group of educated civil rights lawyers about the legality of women's suffrage would require a formal explanation with details and descriptions. For instance, it would explain in depth the legality and the Congress that amended the Constitution and eventually ratification in the states. Whereas, a high school audience would not understand all the legality and terms of the law and a general explanation of the women's suffrage and its effects of changing the Constitution with the addition of the nineteenth amendment. In this way, the most significant difference in explanation would be that the lawyer (educated) group would not need a detailed explanation of the women's suffrage whereas, high school students would need an explanatory…

    Should Americans Be Penalized For Fighting To Stand During The National Anthem

    Refusing to stand, such as kneeling and locking arms during the national anthem has quickly become a questionable action by Americans. President Donald Trump has recently released a statement on the topic explaining his thoughts, which are that Americans, especially professional football players, should be penalized for refusing to stand during the national anthem. All of this started when Colin Kaepernick, a famous NFL football player, refused to stand during the national anthem. Kaepernick’s argument was that he felt all of the freedoms and rights were not being upheld by America (discrimination, oppression, and police brutality). While some Americans may be angered and feel disrespected, those who are taking action have the right to do so, due to the first amendment.…

    Cops Vs Cop Shootings

    Kaeprnick says he sat down during the national anthem because of the racism acts happening against the black community, as shown with all the recent cop shootings. I am not saying that some cops will not target blacks, nevertheless there are numerous respectful ways in which an individual could take a stand without causing countless other problems. No one should disrespect their country, no matter the reason. Accordingly, it does not help when groups of individuals run around destroying cities by rioting. If these individuals keep making more of a mess of this subject, then it will never become better. If a cop targeted someone in my family and killed them, I would become irate, so I can understand how these families might feel. Making a peaceful stand would create a greater impact than the rioting that countless individuals has done as of late. These individuals should not allow their feelings to affect their ability to perceive the outcome of their actions.…

    Black Lives Matter Interview

    At the Black Matters Conference, I had the opportunity to see an interview with Lezley McSppaden, the mother of Michael Brown who was a victim of police brutality. During the time period of the Civil Rights Movement and the Black Power movement police brutality was always an issue. Today we see that this issue is most cases has not yet been solved. Although in the earlier years it consisted of a lot more violence. For example, police officers helping out white rioters by supplying weapons, using violent acts to disperse crowds, and also ignore the different crimes of whites on people of color. The types of police brutality or being treated with inequality led to rebellions against authority. The acts of rebellions can be seen in the Black Panthers.…
