Descrimination in Where Is the Love and the Hope Speech

Harvey Milk's speech was about all types of discrimination against races and sexuality. He was gay and he thought that it was time for gays to have rights. He wants everyone to be treated equally like we all should. He wants people to think that it doesn't matter what color skin you have or if you are homosexual, bisexual, or straight, you need to be given equal rights. The song that relates to Harvey Milk's speech is the song "Where is the Love" by the Black Eyed Peas. This song relates to the hope speech through talking about the different types of discriminations going on around the world, such as terroristic threatening, anger, killing and other things just due to different types of discrimination.

"The black community made up its mind to that a long time ago. That the myths against blacks can only be dispelled by electing black leaders, so the black community could be judged by the leaders and not by the myths or black criminals. The Spanish community must not be judged by Latin criminals or myths. The Asian community must not be judged by Asian criminals or myths. The Italian community must not be judged by the mafia, myths. And the time has come when the gay community must not be judged by our criminals and myths." This is just one of the many rants Harvey Milk went on during his speech, but this one really relates to the song "Where is the Love" by the Black Eyed Peas because it shows that people are ready to move on from all of this discrimination that has went for a long time. This world has just become a stereotypical place to live and that is horrible. In the song "Where is the Love" the black eyed peas are showing that the world has come down to racial discrimination and looking at people with stereotypes and they are asking you "Where is the Love?" Meaning that people are so blinded by money issues and race issues and stereotypical issues that they don't have time to stop and think about how they are hurting everyone around them. The last stanza in the song shows this very well.

"I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder

As I'm getting older y'all people get colder

Most of us only care about money makin

Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction

Wrong information always shown by the media

Negative
