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

Having Malcom X there I think helped balance it, and he really did give people a message of black pride that arguably, needed to be heard I don't have any specific thoughts about it. When I say black pride, I mean not being ashamed of being yourself just because you're black. This applies for anyone and everyone. You shouldn't feel bad for being x or y race. I think I know what you're trying to get at. I know some people feel as if being white is something that is attacked and looked down upon these days. But when you truly compare it to how black people were treated in those days, I don't really think it's comparable. I'm not trying to create some "they had it worse" contest, but it really was bad back then bro. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.2.1 ... Copied to Clipboard! |
