Mo Facts observes the same hooping cadence in Spanish and Korean church services, suggesting it is a universal vehicle for communication. He shares an anecdote from Jasper Williams about Martin Luther King Jr. asking to be taught how to hoop. Williams allegedly told King he didn't need it because he had a unique "ring" in his voice that worked for a national "crossover" audience.

Malcolm X on Respect and Self-Defense

A continuation of Malcolm X's speech explores the idea that black Americans would garner more respect from white citizens by standing up for their rights rather than following "wishy-washy" non-violence. Adam Curry praises Malcolm X's oratorical cadence and notes the historical repetition of the government using fear of armed black men to justify repression.
