Malcolm X argues that they are not Americans because I'm guessing that...

1. African Americans were not treated like Americans (whites) on the basis of their skin color, so why call them Americans when they aren't treated like so?

2. African history doesn't just start at slavery. It began years before, therefore their roots are deeper than the country they were born in, it goes back to their ancestors in Africa and their culture derives from that, not the U.S culture.

3. The only factor that made the slaves American was due to slave trade; they were not born in the U.S, just brought there to help profit the whites' and produce mass amounts of cotton. But by the time he was born, most slaves had American-born children so I may have contradicted myself. I hope I helped.

Answer from: Quest

because everyone tends to get their feelings hurt if they don't agree with something someone is doing and vice versa. it's a major issue that needs to be dealt with, especially in the christian society. everyone thinks that christians hate gay people, because it is a sin, and christians "just hate everyone who sins and every one is going to hell for sinning"(saying that all in a sarcastic tone but i'm just going to go ahead and tell you why everything with that type of view on christians is wrong.

#1. christians do not hate gay people. and if they do, then that is their own personal problem. christians are not supposed to hate anyone. if you hate a neighbor (or any person basically), then that is as if you are hating jesus.

#2. being gay is in fact a sin according to the holy bible. it is in genesis. and no, the fact that it is a sin, does not mean that god hates you. he is grieved that a person is sinning against his word, but he still loves that person. in fact, christians are supposed to love everyone. we are supposed to love our enemies, but hate the sin they are doing. we love you and respect you, but we do not agree with every decision you make, is basically what i'm trying to say.

hope this you ! (:
