They don't know what morals are.They don't try and eliminate an evil because it's evil, or because its illegal, orbecause it's immoral; they eliminate it only when it threatens their existence.
Using word choice of evil appeals to the audiences emotions.
he political philosophy of black nationalism means that the black man shouldcontrol the politics and the politicians in his own community; no more. The blackman in the black community has to be reeducated into the science of politics sohe will know what politics is supposed to bring him in return. Don't be throwingout any ballots. A ballot is like a bullet. You don't throw your ballots until you seea target, and if that target is not within your reach, keep your ballot in yourpocket
I think this is pathos because even though it is not a picture I think it is using the technique of a vivid example because you can picture it in your head.
By ballot I only mean freedom. Don't you know—I disagree with Lomax onthis issue—that the ballot is more important than the dollar? Can I prove it. Yes.Look in the U.N. There are poor nations in the U.N.; yet those poor nations canget together with their voting power and keep the rich nations from making amove. They have one nation, one vote—everyone has an equal vote. And whenthose brothers from Asia, and Africa and the darker parts of this earth ge ttogether, their voting power is sufficient to hold Sam in check. Or Russia in c lecOr some other section of the earth in check. So, the ballot is most important.Right now, in this country, if you and I, twenty-two million African-Americans—that's what we are—Africans who are in America. In fact, you d get fart reicalling yourself African instead of Negro. Africans don't catch hell. You re the on yone catching hell.
This is using Logos because it is using reasoning to support his argument.
In Jacksonville, thosewere teenagers, they were throwing Molotov cocktails. Negroes have never donethat before. But it shows you there's a new deal coming in. There's new thinkingcoming in. There's new strategy coming in. It'll be Molotov cocktails this month,hand grenades next month, and something else next month. It'll be ballots, or it'llbe bullets. It'll be liberty, or it will be death.
This shows logo because it shows reasoning that things will get worse.
I just can't believeeveryone in here is a friend and I don't want to leave anybody out
Showing good will because he is pointing everyone out and not leaving anyone out
Those big Negroes didn't need big jobs, they already had jobs. Thatscamouflage, that's trickery, that's treachery, window-dressing. I m not trying toknock out the Democrats for the Republicans, we'll get to them in a minute.
Good word choice to show that Democrats are bad.
So it's time in 1964 to wake up. And when you see them coming up with thatkind of conspiracy, let them know your eyes are open. And let them know you gotsomething else that's vide open too. It's got to be the ballot or the bullet.
This again is showing the urgency.
Whether we are Christians or Muslims or nationalists oragnostics or atheists, we must first learn to forget our differences.
The exigence is that regardless of your beliefs, it needs to be put to side for the greater good and that is equality in the United States.
Mr. Moderator, brothers and sisters, friends and enemies:
I believe this is the primary, secondary, and unintended audience of this speech.
U Tj i™ electlcln 11113 races are s° close that they have to have a.. '!V a ° recount in Massachusetts to see who was going to be gov-manv nth™ T J' WaS Same wayin Rhode IsIand. in Minnesota, and in,h p3rtS/ ^ Countly And the with Kennedy and Nixon whendoe^ rtr 1 repS1T 1
This shows logos because he is using facts to support his argument.
1 d°n,t 866 ^ American dream'1 see an American
I believe this pathos because saying, I don't see any American dream; I see an American nightmare" are good words choices to appeal to the audience.
doesn't ^ve in deluding myself. I'm not going to sit at yourS rr1, nothing on my plate-md cal1myseIf a ^ athere A a y°U 3 'UnleSS yOU eat some °p what s on that plate.
This is logos because he uses a short example of why he not an American. This is using reasoning of why his mindset is what it is.
, it doesn't mean that we re anti-white, but it doesmean we're anti-exploitation, we're antidegradation, we re antioppression. And ifthe white man doesn't want us to be anti-him, let him stop oppressing and exploiting and degrading us.
I think this is ethos of an audience and pathos, relation to peoples values. I would say it leans more on the pathos side because it who wants exploitations segregation, or oppression of people?
I'm not a politician, not even a student of politics; in fact, I m not a student ofmuch of anything. I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican, and I don t evenconsider myself an American
Stating what he is not, builds creditability because he is admitting that he is no expert in politics.
The yearwhen all of the white political crooks will be right back in your and my communitywith their false promises, building up our hopes for a letdown, with their trickeryand their treachery, with their false promises which they don t intend to keep.
This is pathos, word choice, because he uses workds like "political crooks", "false promises", and "trickery" show the politicians as the bad guys.
If we don't do something real soon, I think you'll have to agree that we re goingto be forced either to use the ballot or the bullet.
This sentences shows the urgency of the problem and how something needs to be done now.
President Kennedy could get together with Khrushchev and exchange somewheat, we certainly have more in common with each other than Kennedy and
I believe this is ethos, moral of a character. Most people would consider President Kennedy a good President so using an example of him coming together with Khrushchev brings creditability.
it's time for us to submerge our differences and realize that it is best for us to first see that we have the same problem, a commonproblem—a problem that will make you catch hell whether you re a Baptist, or aMethodist, or a Muslim, or a nationalist
I believe this is ethos of audience. I think this appeals to people virtue about having a common problem about inequality in the United States.
That's my personal belief. Just as Adam Clayton Powell is a Christian minister who heads the Abyssinian Baptist Church in New York, but at the same timetakes part in the political struggles to try and bring about rights to the black people in this country; and Dr. Martin Luther King is a Christian minister down inAtlanta, Georgia, who heads another organization fighting for the civil rights ofblack people in this country; and Reverend Galamison—I guess you've heard ofhim—is another Christian minister in New York who has been deeply involved inthe school boycotts to eliminate segregated education; well, I myself am a minister, not a Christian minister, but a Muslim minister;
This shows ethos of others because it is stating others and their religious beliefs. Showing that difference of beliefs do not change what people are fighting for.
