Our Brother In Red Analysis
In an article published in the Our Brother In Red. newspaper, an author from the Indian Missions Conference penned an article expressing his appreciation and adoration for several of their “friends” from Tennessee, as well as expressing kindness towards baptist ministers in their community in St. Louis (where he mentions that they were detained to). He goes on to express a few outrages that these ministers wish for them to publicly express their sins to the community, when members of the tribe would rather just acknowledge their wrongdoings and push forward to better behavior in their lives. In the context, he is expressing that he and his tribe members had no intention of being a cog in the charges brought upon one of the baptists ministers.

    Id. at 316. In the ensuing agreement between the congregant and the church, Zoghby agreed to attend counseling and to turn over record of his counseling to the archbishop so as to evaluate his progress. Id. The Alabama Supreme Court noted that a privilege can still be asserted when a communication is made to a clergyman who is serving as both a spiritual adviser and an administrator, as was the archbishop. Id. at 323. The court went on to find that the communication was not privileged because the archbishop claimed he was not acting as a spiritual counselor to Zoghby, and was acting solely as an administrator. Id. at 325. Tankersley had called Pastor Henderson, the pastor of Tankersley’s mother’s friend, distressed that his girlfriend had left him and told Pastor Henderson that he would kill her if she did not return to him. Tankersley, 724 So.2d at 560. At no time in the conversation did he say that he was talking to Henderson in her capacity as a pastor, or that he intended the conversation to be confidential. Id. The court in that case held that the discussion of distress and potential murder was within Pastor Henderson’s “professional capacity in the broadest sense.” Id. at 561. This was even though Pastor Henderson was not Tankersley’s regular pastor, and even though Tankersley admitted he did not call her because she was a pastor, but because she “loved him as a person.” Id. at…

    Oration of Chief Seattle

    • 652 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Respect is shown to the Governor and the whites at the beginning by Chief Seattle because he approaches them in a friendly manner which shows he understands white’s superior status. The choice of diction really helps persuade the governor especially when he refers to him as “the great, and 'the good white chief” throughout the text. Chief Seattle's goal here is to make the governor support his oration despite the underlying mocking of the whites and their intelligence. When the Chief takes full responsibility on the plight of his people this causes him to gain respect and admirability of the Governor even though most likely he felt quite opposite of this the Chief knew his goal was to persuade the Governor and thats exactly what he was doing. Another way he tried to gain the Governor’s support was when he blames his own Native soldiers during the warfare between them and the whites saying their “hearts are black” to show that he knows that his people are wrong. Chief Seattle knows exactly what he is doing with every word he attempts to tell the Americans what they want to hear this shows how easily it was to influence the whites and despite the fact the Natives were “inferior” they were very underestimated by the whites.another method used by the chief was to increase his credibility when he uses a simile saying “my words are like stars that never change,”(line3) this shows the Governor that he is willing to cooperate with the whites. Throughout…

    The clergymen claim “We appeal to both our white and Negro citizenry to observe the principles of law and order and common sense” (15). Let’s not be fooled by this statement, all you have to do is remove ‘white’ and you’ll see the contemptuous tone towards the African American’s way of expressing their voices. Ask yourself this: If I was a baby and I stepped on a sharp object, how would I let my mother know? Well, I’d definitely cry as loud as I can to attract attention for a solution. That is exactly what this statement conflicts and therefore, listening to this clergymen allowed us to receive the idea of oppression and its harm towards a society made for equal rights.…

    In “A Brother Like That”, Paul had underestimated the selflessness of the young boy that he had spoken to. Paul expected the boy to tell him that he wishes he had a brother like that, but instead the boy told him that he wishes he could be a brother like that. Paul took the boy for a ride in his automobile, when the boy asked him to drive the car by his house. Paul assumed that he wanted to show off to his neighbors, but instead, he went inside and brought out his crippled brother to see the car. He told his brother, “Some day I'm gonna give you one just like it ... then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about."

    It is supposed that racism came after slavery already had its place in the world. Specifically, in the largest market of slavery in the known history; the triangular trade. This was largely due to European powers need to justify slavery of non-whites. This attitude grew in the minds of people the world over and seen readily in the writings of 19th century American males such as the editors and writers in the Brother Jonathon, a newspaper based in New York. Their attitudes also showed a strong sense of nationalism that was growing ever since the revolution. This started with the glorification of the founding fathers into almost a religiosity of American history, the subjugation of women, and the demonization of non-whites and foreigners.…
