An iconoclast originally referred to a person who destroyed icons, that is, sacred paintings or sculpture. An example is Byzantine Emperors Leo III, who ordered the destruction of all icons of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and the Saints in his empire. For more discussion of historical iconoclasts, see iconoclasm. The more common meaning in current usage is that an iconoclast is a person who carries out symbolic or Don Quixote acts of protest against authority figures, the connotation being that the iconoclast opposes the imposition of authority itself rather than any particular policy or action. The term may also refer to a person who reacts against popular culture or ideals. Iconoclast is also the name of a hardcore band on Ebullition Records. ==See also== *iconoclasm *reactionary
One day, I aspire to be a great moderator or even admin of this fine website. I will do whatever is needed of me, vote whatever is expected of me, and correct any mistakes on any pages. I would be professional in my attitude, and ignore vote for deletion votes and delete pages on the whim of my emotions; one must be a passionate person to be looked up to :) == About Me == Hello, I am Iconoclast, and I am interested in Historical Accuracy. Some of my interests are in biology, homosexuality, minority rights, Christianity, and many other things. I am a member of the American Democratic Party. I am a supporter of homosexual rights and a member of the ADL. I also donate to various charities, such as the Habitat for Humanity and Amnesty International. I am a proud Christian, and believe that God in His infinite wisdom created man through nature and evolution. I believe that God put us on earth to love our fellow man and spread His good. I am proud of my African heritage, and I have donated to the NAACP in the past as well as celebrate Kwanzaa with my twelve year old nephew and my sister Yolanda. I am proud of my homosexuality, a fulfilling lifestyle and one that has been adopted by many famous peoples throughout the world, such as Caesar, Alexander the Great, Francis Bacon, Ghandi, Shakespear, Frederick Douglass, and Plato. I believe that I am the biggest fan of the Village People. They have been promoting homosexual rights even when it wasn't cool to do so, and thus they are heroic in my eyes in their search for equality and tolerance. Some of my favorite songs by them are the hits YMCA and In the Navy. My favorite is the ex-band member Jim Flanklin (he is the cop), who authored the song In the Navy and I have an autographed album with his signature on it! I dress like him every Halloween to parties and such. One of my wildest dreams is to be the next cop replacement, although this dream is doubtful as I am getting creaky in my old age :( However if you are a fan of the village people please leave me a message in my talk page, thanks, it is always good to know other Village People fans :-) == My Life == I was born on April 20, 1945. Born to my mother, an African woman (Faizah) who was the descendent of a slave held by Thomas Jefferson, and my father, a Jewish banker named Calev. I have a younger sister named Yolanda and her son is named Dinari who is mildly autistic. My mother died when I was twenty-one, which took me many years to get over. My father is still alive and is doing very successfully in life, which I am proud of. In youth, I grew up in the deep south (I was born in Alabama and grew accustomed to racial slurs and insults pertaining to my homosexuality. I often got in a few fights with the neighborhood children, however I learned to survive so that I wouldn't get harassed often. One day, my mother was inside the house preparing dinner (my dad lived in washington D.C. for business reasons) and a couple white men came inside the house and raped her. The Sheriff rules it a suicide. However, I realized then that tolerance and love for others was the only way to achieve peace, and I joined in on peace movements in the U.S.A. I even talked to Martin Luther King Jr. a week before his death. He was truly a remarkable man. However, when I was twenty-three years old in the 1968 presidential election I was turned away from the polls (I wanted to vote for Humphrey) I refused to leave and let intolerance win; I stayed and ignored the remarks and threats from the nearby whites. However, they found ways to make sure I couldn't vote and I left the booth in tears. This taught me an important lesson in life: fighting will get you nowhere and one must love each and every person as the individual they are. I wanted to be known as the next Martin Luther King Jr and one of the best freedom fighters ever. I wrote down my own inspirational speeches and recited them to whoever would listen. I knew each of them off the top of my head, but unfortunatly I could not get people to take me seriously so that dream fizzled out. Here is a sample that I still remember to this day: ''Every man and women, child and prostitute, dog and cat and every person of homosexual persuasion;'' ''let me tell you this: nobody shall ever let you down, and nobody will ever trod upon you: love for'' ''you and your neighbor is the most important thing you can ever concieve of in your life, and to all'' ''that my be intentionally ignoring my words, I ask of you, no, I beg of you, no, I PLEAD with you,'' ''please listen to these words for one day you will be the one trodded upon....'' In the 80s I found my father, a respected man among many wealthy men, and away from public eye he gave me a nice sum of money. I promptly donated it to various charities, one of which has a plaque engraved with my name on it. I still keep in contact with him regularly. I am currently engaged to my boyfriend of three years, his name is Derek and I love him very much; we are planning to get married in the Unitarian Universalism church. I am a computer programmer and I enjoy tinkering with Open Source programs, my favorites being The Gimp and Linux. I have met Linus Torvalds at a linux conference and shook his hand. That was a very memorable day! Too bad that Linus only shoot straight ;). * American Nihilist Underground Society -- A heretical group which is known among the metal scene.

User:El C 07:01, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC) : From my research, there are many 'nazis' and other analogous factions which believe in segregation or forced deportation.
