I have chosen a Huff post written by Nick Wing and a political cartoon.

Both of these texts are trying to persuade its audience of how today’s media outlets wrongly present African Americans to the world making us seem more criminal like to justify our mistreatment and to try to convince its audience that our crimes outweigh those that are committed by white individuals. I chose to compare these two texts because they not only are trying to convey the same message, but they take different approaches to do so while provoking different emotions. My choice of texts matter because the situations and information that is being represented is a problem in today’s society that is greatly ignored and not many people take the time to discuss this big issue. Thanks to the author’s choice of rhetorical choices I feel that the huff post written by Nick Wing does a better job in persuading its audience that this problem exists, here’s why.

The blog provides multiple examples of how media incriminates African Americans while it praises the past actions and makes excuses for white people who commit crimes.

The political cartoon (Text B) is illustrated to show a news report of two 19-year-old men who have been shot by a police officer one unarmed black man and one white man who is a murder
