A movement during the 50s and 60s that involved the pursuance of equal treatment of blacks and whites in America. Blacks of the time period desired economic success and social acceptance among whites.
The irony is that these qualities are looked down upon by modern-day blacks, who view intelligence, wealth, success, and the ability to speak correct english as treason to their race. These very ideals that Dr. King and many others gave his life for are hated by modern-day blacks.

Dispite what the majority of people here think, Honda Civic's are very nice cars. The sporty models are faster than most of its rivals. Also very easy to customize, and can be gorgeous cars if planned out properly.
Just because some people arn't interested in modified cars, some peoples passion lies in cars, if people have nothing better to do than talk about how much hey don't like them they should find something better to do with there time, everyone is entitled to do what they like and what makes them happy.
to round this rant off, Honda Civic's are good looking, relativly cheap to run, reliable, and despite what some people say are relativly fast (perticluar the V-Tech and Type R). :-)

Get the civic mug.A conflict where members of the same nation or theoretical national entity kill each other in a large scale, organized matter, usually for reasons that will continue to be extremely important to both sides for reasons that make no freaking sense to any countrymen who's ancestors did not participate.
More often then not, both sides' descendants will take every chance possible to bring it up just to cause further bad feelings. The various factors that lead to such madness will usually be reduced to a one sentence statement by both sides' descendants.

Jim: The Civil War was about slavery. Tom: No, it was about the economic burned imposed upon the south. Isaac: Whatever. You easterners just killed a bunch of people then made up a reason later.
