Lab Exercise: Blog Comments & They Say/I Say
In King's Where Do We Go From Here?, his willingness to commit to non-violent resistance is accounted for in the following results of no backlash from its demonstrators and no incentive for riots. I can agree that Martin Luther King and his devoted followers' stance on non-violence was able to demand national attention due to their subjection towards repressive treatment from police. However, I do acknowledge Stokely Carmichael's assertion that the term non-violence was solely used when it applied to black people and their stance toward social advancement. In Stokely Speaks, the 1960s epoch of the Vietnam war, police brutality directed at black communities, white people committing racially driven acts is never associated with non-violence. After assimilating Carmichael's perspective, what can be expected of people who are continually brutalized, ignored, and denied of a safe haven? Will they abide to passiveness? Despite of their ideological discrepancies, King and Stokely had one fundamental similarity, they faced the same obstacles of blacks' inactivity and acceptance of the status quo prior to the engagement of the marches, demonstrations, and political involvement.

Hello Emmanuel, my name is Jessica and I am in Prof Cooper's Eng 101 class and was assigned to comment on your above blog. The blog has well written grammar and I can see that you have a pretty clear grasp on the assignment. You do a good job of covering the main ideas of the two readings that you are covering. However, a couple of suggestions would be to perhaps better introduce the people that I would assume you are paraphrasing, in the first sentence you refer to a "his" but you don't specify who he is. Furthermore, the questions that you ask in your blog are great but perhaps you can focus more on answering those questions in your blog instead of asking them, the goal of the blog is to educate the audience, not ask more questions. You ask me "will they abide to the passiveness", I don't know, you tell me. other than that you did a great job!
