Flag-waver Quotes

No, I'm not an American. I'm one of the 22 million black people who are the victims of Americanism. One of the ... victims of democracy, nothing but disguised hypocrisy. So, I'm not standing here speaking to you as an American, or a patriot, or a flag-saluter, or a flag-waver - no, not I. I'm speaking as a victim of this American system. And I see America through the eyes of the victim. I don't see any American dream; I see an American nightmare. (Malcolm X)
In a general way, I want to be a kind of flag-waver, bunting hanger-up, drum-beater, you name it, for poetry. View quote
