Black President Monologue

Improved Essays
I peered across the room, searching for only the most alluring people. I had been without relations for a while and was feeling lonely. They had to be white, of course. I can’t be seen with any muslims or something. We may have a black president now, but soon the president will be me. A broad would be good for my image too. I could show how relatable I am by having a lovely lady on my arm at all times. Except when she needs to use the bathroom or has her period, that’s icky. After a while of seeing no one attractive enough for me, I decided it was time for me to leave this particular event. It was boring anyway. A meeting of republicans gives me no opportunity to tell off any dumb liberals. Can’t impress a bitch unless you insult some liberals. I left the event and began walking down the street towards my car, which was parked at far …show more content…
I mean really a butt plug! The homosexuals use those!” “Uh, Mr. Trump I’m sorry that you’re so upset but I’m just an employee. I don’t have control over the merchandise.” “Well.. Erm… I’m still unhappy with this!” I was conflicted because I don’t believe in the rights of workers. They can all starve to death on the minimum wage I pay them for all I care. But I still wanted answers from her. She should be yelled at like she was the boss and paid like an employee. The thought made me feel better but unfortunately it gave her the opportunity to come up with a rebuttal. “Well, you see sir, these are flying off the shelves, you should feel honored that everyone is so interested in adding you to their intimate lives.” Oh. A sudden feeling of equanimity overcame me. People were including me, the glorious Donald Trump, into their sexual lives. Suddenly the broad I was searching for became no match for the multitude of people inserting my plastic homunculus into their rectums. I took a deep, reassured breath and looked at the woman. I knew what I had to

    Black Men and Public Spaces, by Brent Staples, is one of those articles that provide a statement so horrific and one that exists in the reality of our daily existence. He talks about him as a caring and smart human being, but in public spaces his accomplishments are overlooked, where a menacing idea approaches that describe him as more of a savage monster than that of a civilized man. Here is where Staples shows that although we are civilized and that we have evolved quite a bit we still have the ability to discriminate or judge people and put them in a specific category. And although they might see them as something dangerous to them, Brent Staples uses the persuasive appeals of ethos, pathos, and logos to prove to the audience that he, and…

    Strategic or Reactive: The transformation of Lincoln’s rhetoric during his presidency From an Illinois lawyer, to the 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln is one of the most celebrated historical and political figures of all time.

His distinct writing style has a restrained, legalistic, calmed tone and most importantly, passive.

    In “The Contours of Black Political Thought”, Michael Dawson attributes the development of a black “counterpublic” within the United States to “the historically imposed separation of blacks from whites throughout most of American history and the embracing of the concept of black autonomy (independence) as both an institutional principle and an ideological orientation” (Dawson, 27). This term and its classifications originate from key differences between the races in the ways that they perceive and experience their social and political worlds. While technically considered a part of the American public, black citizens have historically, and presently, been excluded from important discussions in the nation’s public sphere. As a result, this “counterpublic”…

    In comparison of Baldwin and Staples, one can see that the type of racism they experience, their age and maturity, and their response to racism differ entirely by noting the different time eras of racism that each encounters. James Baldwin 's and Brent Staples ' situations differ in the types of racism they encountered with conjunction to the time period. On one hand, Baldwin experienced the Jim Crow Era. Jim Crow Laws lasted for about a century; they were laws that kept whites and blacks separate by excluding blacks from using everyday facilities.

    The Battle Against Insecurity One of the most fundamental human characteristics is the desire to be what you are not. Whether it be in wealth, weight, beauty, or intelligence, people aspire to be whatever they believe is superior. Yet, whenever a goal is achieved, it seems to be human nature to find something else that could be changed about oneself. In her lecture, “The Biggest Disease Affecting Humanity: I’m not Enough” Marisa Peer elaborates on how people can find confidence and become content with themselves. Her psychoanalysis of people can be applied to many books, films, or even everyday life.…

    Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street. " It is narrated by an unnamed character--a lawyer with three scriveners in his employ: Nippers, Turkey, and Bartleby (also an errand boy nicknamed Ginger Nut.) The scriveners work is merely copying the papers the narrator gives them. The story follows the mental deterioration of Bartleby (an otherwise great employee) with emphasis on his phrase "I would prefer not to" and the reaction of other characters to this phrase. Melville uses each character to play off the negatives of an over-industrialized American society.…

    What is the New Black? The New Black tends to be a common saying in regards to what is hip and in fashion. However, my understanding of the phrase 'New Black ' is tied into the idea of the African American race being hindered in today 's society. The concept of the New Black is against the goals of African Americans, it expresses lack of citizenship, and it gives the impression that race still matters in the twenty first century.…

    But also, “he also gave little indication, even in private, that he was sensitive or sympathetic to the plight of free African Americans in the North” (Fredrickson 57). He also said, “prewar Lincoln was clearly a white supremacist” (Fredrickson 57). Lincoln thought that slavery was morally wrong but also knew that the Negro race would always be inferior to his race. All of this evidence brings us to the question, can a person who espouses a particular set of race-based views and uses racially charged language not be considered a "racist" in one era, yet be regarded as racist in a more modern era?…

    John Fitzgerald Kennedy was one the most beloved presidents of the United States. He was the youngest U.S. president and the first Roman Catholic president.

    On June 11, 1963, John F. Kennedy delivered the “Civil Rights Address” from the Oval Office to a camera placed in front of his desk. Americans around the country turned on their televisions to see their President deliver a powerful message about equal rights. Loaded with repetition, imagery, the use of first person pronouns, and occasional shifts in paragraph lengths enabled Kennedy to convey his message of persuasion through logos. John F. Kennedy, a Harvard graduate, adored president, and charming man, effectively used logos in the “Civil Rights Address” in efforts to persuade American people to stop prejudice against black Americans. Statistics Kennedy utilized deeply impacted the nation as a whole.…
