Famous rappers such as Snoop Dog, 50 Cent, R. Kelly, and ECT… have almost planted these racial slurs into our minds through there “trashy rap”. Imus in morning was not only reprimanded for his comments but later let go, due to the uprising of the black community. Rappers, Movie Stars, Comedians and even Gangsters have been giving black woman and negative name calling them “items, hoes, and even bitches.” This is not even in the privacy of their home it is in public on movies and even cd’s. Earl believes that this is due to the fact that these black celebrities are giving an ok to everyone to degrade woman of their own race. He states that “The same
Another subject he spoke about in the documentary was “Why does America have so many more gun murders than the rest of the world?” He spoke of many different possible reasons, but never really found the real reason. This kind of left me hanging. Some possible reasons were violent media, more guns, and availability of these guns. But all of them were disproved. I think the documentary would be better if he pinpointed a reason.
The protest was over African American voting rights, as few African Americans could vote due to racist whites manipulating the voting system. African Americans shied away from voting because of fear of being harassed or absurd tests were given, such as stating the entire U.S Constitution. Johnson’s purpose of his speech was to convince Congress and Americans everywhere to pass his bill on voting reformation. To help make the speech more effective and convincing, Johnson used rhetorical strategies, such as ethos, logos, and pathos. Johnson’s first part of the speech uses rhetorical qualities that unify the audience and make them sympathize with the victims of voting rights.
Cameron is trying to get through to Anthony that his actions reflects on what people think of him and he can change that by making the right decisions.

He did also try to develop such relationship with media persons by sharing campaign information and by coming up with fresh campaign stories almost on a daily basis. A major portion of Dave Spence’s media strategy was devoted to the weakening of the political hold of his opponent Governor Jay Nixon, a Democrat, and to diminish the latter’s political prestige. To strengthen this effort of his, Dave Spence also funded television advertisements to bring out the flaws committed by Governor Nixon and to showcase all those promises, which Nixon made to the populace of Missouri but failed to keep up to them.

So in the final debate of the movie James L. Farmer jr. tells the audience about what they saw uses this awful memory to help their side of the debate. He ends up not only winning the debate for his team because of this but he also took one more step forward for black people and anti-racism. To me this scene of the movie showed me how a person can take a tragic event that has happened in their life and use it for the greater good; to help others; and to also help themselves by letting people know the truth.

It was where some of his colleagues’ shared hurtful memories while other expressed exhilaration, sometimes both. Terkel shared some of his experiences as well.
