Hate Article Reviews Samples For Students

Henry Louis Gates, Jr. argues in his article War of Words: Critical Race Theory and the First Amendment that there exists a tension between civil rights and civil liberties with specific emphasis on the freedom of speech and hate speech or freedom from expression. In the description for fighting words and group defamation with the citation of court decisions in 1942 and 1952, Gates explains that fighting words refer to the words used in their very utterances to inflict injury or tend to initiate an immediate breach of peace. He additionally describes group defamation as designed to prohibit public expression ...

The issue of hate has circulated in the social arena for quite a long time as people seek to establish a solution to this issue. It has existed since time immemorial, and was the cause for the slave trade that led to the demeaning of the African people. The same hate has found its way into the modern world where there are various reports of people who have experienced the bitter ends of hate. All over the world, there had been crimes that were propagated by hate; the killing of Jews by Hitler and the anti-Semitism movements, the massacre in Rwanda ...

More often than not, hate crimes often lead to much suffering for the victims and their families. This was the case after the Tulsa killings as described by Fernandez. The victims’ families felt that the acts were not justified and that the perpetrators needed to face judgment (Fernandez 3).

The killers did not know their victims, and if only they knew who they were, they probably would not have committed the ...

I believe that Martin Luther King’s speeches are more convincing because his use of logic appeals to a wider audience.

He visits a small village which he describes as somewhat backwater. “people are trapped in history and history is trapped in them”. This ...

Monteith and Winters’s article, “Why We Hate,” provides interesting perspectives into why prejudice exists and what can be done about it. If a person speaking to me told me claimed they were not prejudiced, I would be inclined to doubt their claim because, as the article says, people in general have a tendency to “quickly divide the world into ‘us’ and ‘them’” (Monteith and Winters 48). However, I do not think it would be useful to simply respond by saying, “Of course you’re prejudiced, everybody has prejudices.” Rather, I might ask them, “Do you prefer Coke or Pepsi?” When ...
