Colin Kaepernick Article Summary
In the sports article, “Colin Kaepernick protest has 49er’s fans burning their jerseys,” Cindy Boren covers why Kaepernick is kneeling during the National Anthem.

    Derrick Rose Research Paper

    On May, 8, 2015 I sat in front of a glowing T.V. watching the Cleveland Cavaliers play Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls. The clock was down to three seconds and the Bulls had the ball on the left sideline. The scoreboard read 96-96 as Derrick Rose caught the ball at the top of the key. Derrick released the ball with a flick of his wrist and sent it towards the hoop. The ball rotated backboard was illuminated by a bright cherry colored light as the time expired on the clock. The basketball rotated through the air in a paced that seemed to be slow motion. The ball hit the glass and fell into the net softly. Derrick’s teammates rushed the court to celebrate with an excited look on their face, but Derrick had a look on his face that didn’t show…

    Glen Clark Heromack

    Glen Clark, in his Essay “Colin Kaepernick – Hero or Schmuck?” (2016), identifies why he feels that Kaepernick’s actions are not clear, not favored by viewers, and not genuine by using quotes from Kaepernick, and writing about his own personal experiences of the matter. Clark uses nine quotes from Kaepernick to demonstrate his beliefs, afterwards he rebuffs them with logic and reasoning. Often he would structure his essay to follow a pattern that alternates between a quote from Kaepernick, logic, and then an explanation. This cycle aides in the flow of the essay so that the topics are balanced and in order. For the most part, the evidence is sufficient in proving his point, but at one point he argues with Kaepernick’s opinion on cop murderings…

    David Hilliard Black Panther Speech Analysis

    David Hilliard wrote this speech in response to the trial of Bobby Seale, the president of the Black Panther Party. Hilliard was the Chief Editor of the Black Panther newspaper. His use of language throughout the speech is very powerful and thought provoking, even the two counts of explicative words are used well to enhance his points. Hilliard is constantly pointing out the evils of the American system, and shown through examples within our nations history. At the same time, he is trying to get his audience to see that Bobby Seale is just an ordinary man trying to use his constitutional right, the right to bear arms. He turns this around on the U.S government, stating that because…

    Michael Brown Same Story Analysis

    However, he pivots with this rebuke: "But don't get it twisted, black people kill black people every day and nobody bats an eye." He calls attention to the fact that this violent lifestyle that has been associated with blacks is generally accepted and goes unnoticed-by both sides. In contrast, when the act is perpetrated by a white officer, only then there is public outcry and protesting in the streets. He concedes that the black community continually turns a blind eye, and in doing so, fulfills a double standard. In lieu of the shooting, protesters angrily took to the streets, burning and looting businesses. Although Prince EA reemphasizes that all can agree that this was a tragedy, and not to let these stereotypes detract from that fact, he goes on to critique the community's response to the situation with a poignant, double-edged remark, "you treat someone like an animal for so long, don't be surprised when they exhibit the behavior." Prince EA recognizes the frustration that he himself feels as well, yet urges that the justice they seek will not be met through such means. It is at this point that Prince EA offers his solution, declaring that we must set aside our differences, remove the filters which polarize our communities, and realize that we are all human. We must work hand in hand to reconcile and bring about a change within, otherwise it…

    Examples Of Taking A Stand In The Nfl

    The culture around the NFL started out very mellow regarding kneeling during the playing of the National Anthem. In which only a hand full of players partook in the protest. This act that once created unity around the United States, has now instead caused people to look at it as an act of rebellion against this nation’s flag and troops. Collin Kaepernick never had the intentions to rebel against the flag or those fighting behind it, rather, to stand up for what he believed in- Bringing the United States one nation and showing unity rather based on your race.…
