Prejudicial use of rhetorical devices would be when someone uses language that causes you to draw erroneous conclusions and will often have little ground to stand on, or use faulty evidence such as gross generalizations, stereotyping by using preconceived judgments or ideas.

An example is loaded questions like.."do you still beat your wife?"
 
Non-prejudicial rhetoric is when someone merely states simple facts, which are already in evidence.

Prejudicial: "A woman will never reach the top of the professional ladder that appears to be held up by men" implying women are not intelligent enough or don't have the same potential as men. Non-Prejudicial: "There are many companies that have made a strong effort to promote both men and women equally." Mentioned equally, based on fact.

baraka obama would not make a good president, (premise) because he will favor African American rights over other peoples rights. (conclusion) this is a rhetorical statement also it is a valid argument because the premise supports the conclusion but it is not sound because it can not be proven true, it also is a prejudicial use because it is biased on his race nonprejudicial would be baraka obama would not make a good president, because he would not consider everyones rights.

The role of using the device is a form of using persuasive devices such as wording to achieve a goal in persuading and influencing the reader into a fallacy that the author has on a subject.

I think..,
Non predjudicial uses of rhetorical devices are opinions formed with
out bia. You are basically allowing others to make up their own minds
and think for themselves.
