MetalRampage ::: Favorites I'm sure if Malcolm X was a white slave in Egypt, several millenia ago, he'd say something along the lines of Egyptism. Do poor people argue less than rich people or people of other countries? Humans are unique in that they can adapt to nearly anything and if you could measure happiness betweens peoples, it'd be pretty close, how do I know this? 07-07-28 00:38:20 _____________________________________________________
MetalRampage ::: Favorites 'Cause all the serfs in the middle ages didn't kill themselves. Don't speak of superiority, and just answer the question. Americanism is merely being human in America. 07-07-28 00:38:49 _____________________________________________________
FlamingHound ::: Favorites Americanism: there is no such thing. it is a right-wing creation used to stifle dissent by labeling dissenters "unAmerican." Nazi Germany did something similar. marry me, pinky :) 07-07-28 04:25:08 _____________________________________________________
cronocoffin ::: Favorites the essense of americanism is instant gratification coupled with indifference to those who's lives do not meet the standards of what is thought of as normal. poverty is unforgivable. americanism is a plastic face, plastic money, and plastic toys. 07-07-28 07:04:15 _____________________________________________________
chagirl13 ::: Favorites First of all, Malcolm X fought for black rights. Because blacks were segregated from whites, he didn't believe he was a true American, like whites. That he didn't have all the freedoms of America, like whites. I think Americanism is the double standards of America. I think Malcolm X meant it was the unfair things of America 07-07-28 12:38:51 _____________________________________________________
