"It's not a case of being good or bad blacks and whites, it's a case of being good or bad human beings." Malcolm X

Malcolm X was a violent racist. Not someone to be proud of, no matter what color.

I agree, no pride for 'his race' (HUMANS) but many do. The only good thing I saw of him, he promoted blacks to get into politics, to have say as well, in what goes on.

"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.”~~Howard Zinn~~


By saying this:

-----"To understand this, you have to go back to what [the] young brother here referred to as the house Negro and the field Negro -- back during slavery. There was two kinds of slaves. There was the house Negro and the field Negro. The house Negroes - they lived in the house with master, they dressed pretty good, they ate good 'cause they ate his food -- what he left. They lived in the attic or the basement, but still they lived near the master; and they loved their master more than the master loved himself. They would give their life to save the master's house quicker than the master would. The house Negro, if the master said, "We got a good house here," the house Negro would say, "Yeah, we got a good house here." Whenever the master said "we," he said "we." That's how you can tell a house Negro."

~~Malcolm X~~

"That house negro loved his master. But that field negro, remember, they were in the majority, and they hated their master. When the house caught on fire, he didn't try to put it out, that field negro prayed for a wind. For a breeze. When the master got sick, the field negro prayed that he die'd. If someone come to the field negro and said 'Let's separate, let's run.' He didn't say 'Where we going?' he said 'Any place is better than here'. We got field negros in America today. I'm a field negro. The masses are the field negros. When they see this mans house on fire, we don't hear these little negros talkin bout 'Our Government is in trouble. They say thee Government is in trouble.' Imagine a negro, "Our Government".

~~Malcolm X~~

----but he does have many followers as well, today - from all over too.
In the end, his own did him in...... BB

I tried to come back to this and see a point in your post. But, I didn't find one. Malcolm X's views are simply political nothing less than people believing in NWO or Big Brother, Cults, Obama bashers, etc. He did not die the same man that he was.You know that. What he said is reality like it or not.

dont want to sit here and play victim for being black but.. I thank AMERICA for giving my children the hope and the opportunity that seemed unattainable...............and for those who are HATEMONGERS ................I WILL SEE YOU IN HELL (I will be wearing a RED DRESS AND IN THE FRONT IT WILL SAY "KISS MY A$$)..................BE SEEING YOU

This dress wouldn't fit you so please ghettolicious don't try to put a square peg in a round whole. You have no empathy your a selfish woman who plays the vic card any chance she gets.

It seems to me there is a double standard of who is a racist or who is what in peoples eyes...........black history or whomever history is about acknowledging the struggles and challenges of everyone...........I dont want to sit here and play victim for being black but I would like to acknowledge the black leaders (the controversialists, the idealists, and the realists) it doesnt matter they all brought something to the table........Martin was an accomodationist and for that he was a wonderful and compassionate leader.........Malcom was a controversialists and he was wonderful for dispelling the faults of America......Regardless they all had a hand in making history either it be positive or negative.........they comprise the right and left wing of most leaders of even today...............So I thank them for bringing such diverse views in history.......because regardless of what color its really American history that we are talking about.........and without them and all the endless leaders (JFK and countless others) we wouldnt be in the century and time we are today that a black and white president resides in office.......that ladies and gentlemen is one of those AMAZING TIMES........and I am happy to have been in the mist of such times and to be able to tell my children that whatever dream they have THEY NOW CAN ACHIEVE IT with no RESERVATIONS...................I thank AMERICA for giving my children the hope and the opportunity that seemed unattainable...............and for those who are HATEMONGERS ................I WILL SEE YOU IN HELL (I will be wearing a RED DRESS AND IN THE FRONT IT WILL SAY "KISS MY A$$)..................BE SEEING YOU

Or are you upset because Mr. Freeman's mistress is a white woman, dear lady?

I've been reading a lot at night lately about the War of Northern Aggression. Has anyone mentioned Fredrick Douglas and his contributions? I love looking at those old pictures and reading about history.

F**k malcum X and Martin luther king

We should have confederate pride month in the whole month of feb.

all the know is to jump. i havent met one that know what a fair fight is.

what about rodney king,hell ive had the same thing happen to me but i didnt have black people running through the streets burning down my neighborhood and dragging a white truck driver out of his truck and dam near beating him to death or stealing T.V.s or anything else they could steal,yep,thats black history also,cant have the good without the bad

heres some more black history for you.how about the poor jena six,where six black students attacted a lone white kid because somebody else hung a noose from a tree on campus.did the noose hurt them,no!did this kid they almost beat to death have anything to do with it,NO!why did it take six of them to beat up one person?micahal bell who should have already graduated but was so stupid that the only thing he could get by on was football and was being tried as a adult was singled out as the ring leader behind this brutal attack.jesse jackson and al sharpton,,well known racists,came to his rescue and got him out of it.since then bell has moved to monroe,la,where he robed a store and because he got cought,shot himself in the shoulder,,,to bad he didnt aim higher,,,when intervied and asked if he had any regretes about the robberey and about beating a inocent person,all he had to say was all the fault of thows that had prayed for him and was mad because he couldnt play football anymore

Those school days, of telling tales and biting nails are gone,
But in my mind,
I know they will still live on and on,
But how do you thank someone, who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn’t easy, but I’ll try,
If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters,
That would soar a thousand feet high ,
To Sir, with Love
The time has come,
For closing books and long last looks must end,
And as I leave,
I know that I am leaving my best friend,
A friend who taught me right from wrong,
And weak from strong
That’s not a lot to learn,
What, what can I give you in return?
If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start,
But I, would rather you let me give my heart,
To Sir, with Love
Lu Lu
