Ever met a man who didn't read the auto bio of Malcolm X?

[get these nets]

For African men worldwide, I don't think I've ever known of a more common reference point than the Auto Bio of Malcolm X. The ONE book that EVERYBODY read...across nationality, socio economic background,etc

Have you ever personally known another Black.man who hasn't read at least part of the book?




====
ALSO.....for guys who are currently college age range....is there a new common reference point? A book, film, album, play or whatever that you'd say is gonna be the ONE thing that African men your age globally have in common?

My favorite book of all time. I've read it at least 5 times

However, most cats not reading like that let alone a book of that stature. They'd rather use quotes for memes or use clips of his speeches to post. I don't know too many that can actually discuss the content in that book. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is. It should be required for every black man to read. So much can be learned in that book.

It's funny you made this thread. The movie came on early today on Bounce TV. Made me wanna read the book again. It's been a minute

I cant see any of these sound cloud generation kids having read that book. For them its probably XO Tour Life

I couldn't fully trust a man from my generation who hasn't read it.

Its a very honest book and maybe thats why its so well liked. I've read autobiographies before and you can feel how disingenuous they are but Malcolm X put everything on the table. He admits he is a flawed person who is trying to do his best for his family and his people and maybe he is wrong or he is right but no matter what he is going to stick to his convictions until the end.

If you and your people aren't reading that's one thing, but other people of your generation are buying books and reading.
