American Culture - Tumblr Posts
The ‘fake it until you make it' thing in America never sat right with Chris as there was always the chance that the people who said you made it were doing the same thing.
Despite the 12 hour super sun filled photo shoot in wet salty sand that now filled every oraface, according to his Insta, Brad did have ball at the beach that day.
Chris wanted the world to know America still had it. What ‘it’ was he wasn’t sure, but it couldn’t be too hard to find. He was wearing vurrrry little and what he did have on was vurrrry tight.
Marking the square in front of St John's Church with the new "Black Lives Matter Plaza" sign on Friday, Ms Bowser said: "As Washingtonians, we simply all want to be here together in peace to demonstrate that in America, you can peacefully assemble, you can bring grievances to your government, and you can demand change".

“Jimi Hendrix’s cover at Woodstock 1969″ (He thought he would be arrested after this performance.)
“Lebron James statements on Black Lives Matters“
This performance has a kinship-like relationship with these activities.
Actually, this is better than 2014′s and as good as Jimi’s \m/
It has been said that showing anger is sometimes important in Anglo-Saxon culture, especially for men. Breaking things, throwing a coffee cup. I understand the behavior is necessary to show who they are and what they think. American culture is like “a salad bowl”, Anglo-Saxon culture is a part of it, but big influence. The difference between American Anglo-Saxon culture and English culture will be that Americans tend to exaggerate including emotions.
Once Japanese male students in the U.S. told me they were not attractive to American ladies because they are not used to show their emotions. They said it's not charming to Americans.
The article argues that the way to show anger now takes certain forms with bad consequences.
Last year summer, I had watched Fox news in order to be fair. The day, BLM protesters clashed with police. The scene was shown on Fox News. The host said the protesters are "disgusting". The host was Tucker Carlson if my memory is correct. Rather he tried to tell audiences what happened on the street or what protesters thought, he tried to direct the audience's aggression toward them. I stopped watching it.
［edited］The difference between the UK and the U.S. is added for clarity.
Americans sure are angry these days. Everyone says so, so it must be true.
But who or what are we angry at? Pandemic stresses aside, I’d bet you’re not especially angry at your family. Or your friends. Or your priest or your plumber or your postal carrier. Or even your boss.
Unless, of course, the conversation turns to politics. That’s when we start shouting at each other. We are way, way angrier about politics than we used to be, something confirmed by both common experience and formal research.
my life is complete. I met the Chicago bean today.
