Introduction
The writers argument that will be analyzed includes that writers strategy to defend themselves from the opinion of another person. This writer wrote this argument in order to explain to people what she thinks about their opinion. This argument will be analyzing the different techniques that the writer uses and the way that they target their audience.

Purpose
The purpose of the rhetorical analysis is to comprehend what the writer is expressing in their textual argument. The writer uses first person when writing the reason of the argument implying that this text was written for a specific audience. This analysis will observe the motivation of the writer towards the text. This will also include the strategies that are used, for example identifying if the writer shows emotion while writing the purpose and the message that is given.

Audience
The targeted audience might find the text somewhat offensive depending on their race since the author states what type of audience this was meant for a lot. The writer seems to be leaning more on the white people more because of their opinion towards the writers perspective of things such as finding racism in many things.

Ethos
The ethos of this website blog contains the personality of the writer. The way that she puts herself in the text is my saying I, my, Im, and so on. She starts her blog by directing the audience that she seems to be critiqued from. The reader can make an assumption that there have been several cases were the writer had been confronted by white people, as she describes them implicating that the only thing she notices in many signs buildings and or text is racism towards colored people. Pathos This section of the analysis will describe whether the writer puts emotion while writing the text. As it can be noticed the writer does seem angry that people have the idea that she is very racially offended by many things. The writer adds on the emotion of defensive aggression because she compares the colored people with the white people a lot in a way trying to defend the colored. As she proceeds to defend them her anger seems to increase with the stereotypes that have been known for describing colored people, the way that can be determined that she becomes more angry is because she uses exclamation marks after a defensive statement.

Logos
The audience needs to understand all facts before criticizing the writers perspective and personal opinion, the people that criticize her arent well aware of the things she may have experience in her life due to her race and skin color. The message that she is trying to send to the audience makes sense because most of the time people are known to judge others

based on what they see first. In my opinion I agree with her and her reasons for being angry and defensive, for she is trying to defend her people as I would do too. Conclusion The writers intentions were to defend her point of view, opinion, and people from being discriminated for their skin color and history background. The writer expresses herself clearly when writing because she includes a lot of her own personal opinions and tries to make the targeted audience understand her reasons of thinking the way that she does.
