Topic | Seems like Malcom X gets swept to the side, why don't we celebrate him more? |

Because you arent looking at it with context. He was a voice when there weren't many voices for black people back then. Blacks were constitutionally called less than human and were constantly being beaten,lynched, discriminated against. He helped lift up a broken and disenfranchised group of people and said we arent worthless. Yes, some of his messages were hate filled and he was essentially brainwashed by the NOI when he was young. He was able to grow as a man and say that he was wrong and whites weren't what he believed them to be. He was then an advocate for black pride and living peacefully with whites. He was the voice of blacks saying "we arent going to take this lying down anymore". Also you dont have to like either MLK or Malcolm X. They were both very intelligent men and were staples in black american history. If you isolate pieces of his life yes, he did preach some hateful things but his life as a whole shows the beginnings of where he came and the man he ended up becoming. --- The night brims with defiled scum,and is permeated by their rotten stench. Just think. Now you're all set to hunt and kill to your heart's content. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
