In this ad, Clinton is tieing Trump to the white supremacists of the world. Hillary is using pathos to make the audience feel a certain way about Trump's supporters. Clinton's pathos is believable due to her evidence of white supremacists associated with Trump.
White supremacists and trump believe in the same things, making trump out to be supporting the whites. In the background of this part of the video you hear one the "KKK" members say this, which makes it more believable. The first concern, is donald trump actually supporting the supremacists in their movement. Why are the members so comfortable with saying that Trump supports them if it wasn't true?
A reporter then asks Trump does he want the vote from the white supremacists, he replies saying he has no idea what the white supremacists are. which makes that very hard to believe, because with history this country provides all the way from slavery how could you not know what the supremacists are? Which brings up the question why is donald trump acting so brand new to this situation.
Then with Trumps new campaign CEO is a supremacists, so with that being said, there's nothing much else to say honestly.
All of this being said in one campaign ad, really leaves us, the people, thinking is this someone we want to be in office soon. Do you really want history to repeat itself even more than it already has?

That's So True or Real?
This episode of That's So Raven she addresses the fact that racism is present in work places and the world we live in. The only problem with this is that a lot of the viewers are youth, who may not quite understand what was actually going on in the episode itself. Was this episode of That's So Raven true? Was is Real?
I feel as though this episode of That's So Raven was very true. As in portraying how people of color are treated in the real world and by society. Shows the younger audience what's really happening in this world around them and basically what's being hidden from them. I feel as though Raven was trying to prove a point and wake her younger audience up to reality. Many shows on Disney then, still currently, portray a "white" world and perfect world, which is never true for any person in the real world. Raven really set a mark in the Disney world by addressing the problem that many kids were and are naive to in society.
Which leads to was the episode real? Obviously not with the over exaggeration of the way the situation was handled. The extreme costume situation and having Chelsie wear a "camera hat" is just not realistic. It does show how you can use the resources that you do have to bring awareness to what's happening in the world around us.

An Analysis Of ¨ Precious¨ And It´s Relation To Racism Today.
When you are looking at the African American race and it’s history, You will find many triumphs, Many losses and many different examples of how diverse the culture is. For my Analysis I chose the movie Precious. This movie came out a couple years ago, and really shows the different Archetypes of African Americans.
The movie is about a Overweight African american girl named Precious. Her father Is abusive to both Precious and her mother, and has raped Precious multiple times and even has 2 kids with precious. He was portrayed as the brute. Throughout the movie, he is seen as a large, scary and villainous, just as the brute has been portrayed throughout history.
The mother, who is mentally and physically abusive to Precious could be seen as a mixture of the brute and Mammy. She is shown as Terribly abusive, and strangly nice and motherly. She herself is a paradox, because she is both Evil and good at the same time.
Precious, However, is not really identifiable in only one category. She is overweight, which is a Stereotype of African americans. That they are sloppy, and don’t take care of themselves. At this point, she could almost be seen as a mammy. There is also a scene where she steals fried chicken from a restaurant. This portrays the stereotype that African Americans are thieves. She is also Not very smart, as seen in the film, which is also a known stereotype of African Americans. Precious and her family live in the “Hood”, which is another stereotype of African Americans.
The people who contributed to writing this movie and the people who Added ideas to the movie, such as Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey, Were very much conscious of the racial ideas and stereotypes in the movie. I believe that they did it to show those who have no idea that this happens everyday. For the people who haven’t seen the ruins that These people live in called “hoods”. For the people who don’t know about the Lack of opportunities in these areas.
This movie, while some could say over exaggerated, told the true story of The lives of these people, and Portrays almost all of the stereotypes known to us. Although a terrible truth, it is the truth. Though some choose to deny this truth, It is real, and will stay real until things change. Is it possible to remove these stereotypes from the culture of today? I don know. However, I know that everyone can do their part in trying.
