TOPIC Gucci Mane *PURPOSE: TO PERSUADE

MAIN IDEA The rumor that Gucci Mane is a clone only exists because American culture promotes negative images of Black men, rather

than positive ones. !

MAJOR SUPPORTING DETAIL 1: People want to believe that Guwop is a clone because America promotes the belief that a

"hood" Black man who goes to prison will always be a criminal.

MAJOR SUPPORTING DETAIL 2 American culture would rather promote images of his self-destruction than images

of him making healthy choices.

MAJOR SUPPORTING DETAIL 3 The rumor that Gucci is a clone is based on a

racist stereotype.

MINOR SUPPORTING DETAIL The "evidence" that people who promote the

rumor are using is only valid if you believe the stereotype that a Black man who goes

to prison will always be dangerous.

MINOR SUPPORTING DETAIL DJ Khaled: "They don't want you to win."

MINOR SUPPORTING DETAIL Promoters of the rumor claim that Gucci

would not use the phrase "light yet excessive; clean, but opulent."

MINOR SUPPORTING DETAIL Gucci Mane is allowed to grow and change,

but America doesn't want to admit that because it would rather promote negative

images.

MINOR SUPPORTING DETAIL American culture would rather promote negative image of Gucci Mane as an erratic drug addict in legal trouble than a positive image of him making healthier choices for

himself.

MINOR SUPPORTING DETAIL That "evidence" is only believable if you believe the racist stereotypes about Black men, and that a talented and intelligent rapper cannot use sophisticated language.
