I just want to apologize. I'm sorry you couldnt be a part of our great society, maybe you couldn't handle it, whatever. but its time for you to admit that you wish you could be like us Americans and your constant tyrades mixed with black slang is bringing you down. if you admit that now, i will no longer make fun of you for the sad existence you invariably expose to us all with your bullshit. lets make peace. - jbananas

I don't know what your talking about. I'm your average white American citizen, born and raised. My granfathers fought in WW2, my family is Christian, so on and so forth. I changed after I was 18, at age 18 I converted to Islam. Infact, one of my influences was Malcolm X's story, and my other major influence was an immigrant from Gambia, Africa that I started working with after highschool. Right away, I recognized that his character and way of life was better than our way of life here in America.
Your probably too arrogant to realize you have alot to learn from the immigrants living in this country, and that if you did some travelling you may be able to get past your brief, narrow viewpoint of the world. Seems you've been too quick to accept your short, insulated life on this Earth as eternal, absolute truth.

Yes, Allah teaches us in the Qu'ran that a hypocrite is someone who says he believes but in his heart he has no faith, and he makes plots with the non-believers against the believers.
h cottie is bac-tive?:
idk about that whole malcolm X correlation bananas. he never wanted to be like white people, he actually despised blacks that would act like they were superior to other blacks becaus they acted "white". his father was killed by whites when he was 6 years old so i don't think he wanted to be "white" in any regards. he didn't listen to white music as you stated, he was always big on the lindy-hop which was a prodominantly black dance. his lingo was more urban and black, words like "cats", "daddy-o", etc. the hair might be the only thing u have somethin on, but a lot of blacks wore the "conk" (any1 got a picture of wat it looks like?) which could be tied into the white image, but he wore it becaus it was popular. he wasn't trying to assimilate into white culture at all. white's basically ruined his life from the time he was growing up so idk where you got that correlation from.

The problem with the classic american on this board is the following: He supports everything his country does or stands for, and gets personally offended when someone criticizes some shit. It's ridiculous to me how people think Im a hypocrite for listening to US rap just because I don't agree with many things in US politics. I'm a critical person in general, always trying to see through BS. For example, I like The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion overall, way better game than any other shit that's out, but I still bash the FUCK out of the scale system included in it, because it simply really sucks.
