Current Events > why do people like malcolm x so much even though he hated white people

(+) Yeah! (+)

Didn't he regret his his actions and turn his back on his hatrid before he was killed? Wasn't that part of the reason he was killed?

I never liked him honestly. Always preferred King.

those damn racist babies of the 60s

Those neo-nazis at Charlottesville and the ones responsible for our current levels of right wing terrorism must be time travelers from the 30s. Just poofed into existence out of nowhere!

Imagine judging an entire race off the faults of the extreme minority.

Wait, it's 2 days later and we're still pretending like I'm talking about all white people? Wow, the illiteracy must be contagious.

If the last couple of days on CE have been any suggestion, it's that disingenuous race trolls aren't just merely pretending to be racist. Can't say for sure about this guy, but it's probably not a good look to post exactly like caution, Sage, or hypno for the next couple of days unless you want to be lumped in with them.

He explained why pretty well, and he explained that he understands why it was justifiable for MX to hate white people. No use in acting disengenous here.

Malcolm X was a great man and the black community could use a leader like him again.

Ossie Davis
Here at this final hour, in this quiet place Harlem has come to bid farewell to one of its brightest hopes -extinguished now, and gone from us forever. For Harlem is where he worked and where he struggled and fought his home of homes, where his heart was, and where his people are and it is, therefore, most fitting that we meet once again in Harlem to share these last moments with him. For Harlem has ever been gracious to those who have loved her, have fought her, and have defended her honor even to the death.
It is not in the memory of man that this beleaguered, unfortunate, but nonetheless proud community has found a braver, more gallant young champion than this Afro-American who lies before us unconquered still. I say the word again, as he would want me to : Afro-American Afro-American Malcolm, who was a master, was most meticulous in his use of words. Nobody knew better than he the power words have over minds of men. Malcolm had stopped being a Negro years ago. It had become too small, too puny, too weak a word for him. Malcolm was bigger than that. Malcolm had become an Afro-American and he wanted so desperately that we, that all his people, would become Afro-Americans too.

There are those who will consider it their duty, as friends of the Negro people, to tell us to revile him, to flee, even from the presence of his memory, to save ourselves by writing him out of the history of our turbulent times. Many will ask what Harlem finds to honor in this stormy, controversial and bold young captain and we will smile. Many will say turn away away from this man, for he is not a man but a demon, a monster, a subverter and an enemy of the black man and we will smile. They will say that he is of hate a fanatic, a racist who can only bring evil to the cause for which you struggle! And we will answer and say to them : Did you ever talk to Brother Malcolm? Did you ever touch him, or have him smile at you? Did you ever really listen to him? Did he ever do a mean thing? Was he ever himself associated with violence or any public disturbance? For if you did you would know him. And if you knew him you would know why we must honor him.

Malcolm was our manhood, our living, black manhood! This was his meaning to his people. And, in honoring him, we honor the best in ourselves. Last year, from Africa, he wrote these words to a friend: My journey, he says, is almost ended, and I have a much broader scope than when I started out, which I believe will add new life and dimension to our struggle for freedom and honor and dignity in the States. I am writing these things so that you will know for a fact the tremendous sympathy and support we have among the African States for our Human Rights struggle. The main thing is that we keep a United Front wherein our most valuable time and energy will not be wasted fighting each other. However we may have differed with him or with each other about him and his value as a man let his going from us serve only to bring us together, now.

Consigning these mortal remains to earth, the common mother of all, secure in the knowledge that what we place in the ground is no more now a man but a seed which, after the winter of our discontent, will come forth again to meet us. And we will know him then for what he was and is a Prince our own black shining Prince! who didnt hesitate to die, because he loved us so.

This topic is still alive, so have THE eulogy of Malcolm X.
The crazy thing is they had to have his funeral service at The Faith Temple Church of God, because literally no other house of worship was willing to allow it with the Nation of Islam's threats hanging over honoring Malcolm X.

Malcolm X's initial popularity was because he and the NOI appealed to the most down trodden masses of Blacks (the portion the population stuck in ghettos and ones in Prison) he preached a message of unrelenting black pride in a era where blacks were considered slightly better than dirt by the mass of the majority population, mocked much of the mainstream black political class who many poorer Blacks had a resentment of, and he and the Nation cultivated a well crafted image that many found inspiring (X was an attractive man with a dominating physique and one of the greater orators in American history). His enduring popularity appeals to a sizable amount of Black Americans who feel the Civil Rights movement left them behind and destroyed many proud black institutions and left them poorly integrated into greater American society.
