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

Required reading for a black man in America. Put your damn phone down for a month and read it. You won't regret it.

Also ain't nothing changed since Malcolm's day. Black people been fighting for half a century and it's still the same damn thing.

Not true at all we have made a lot of progress since Malcolm's day. I would say the biggest issue is we have not evolved our arguments and strategies to fight racism or white supremacy.

book made me realize Malcolm's conflicts with father figures
couldn't see this in the movie
it seemed as if as soon as malcolm got fond of the master he then tried to outshine him

that shyt with west indian archie and the number
when archie tried to play him on some "what number" type shyt
Red could've just played it off and said yea I was fukked up that night...
instead he tried to get cute ...which made archie run and check if red played that shyt
Archie was doped up when red actually played it..and just out of respect Red should've charged it to the game
watched archie spin out of control w/ the H and then scooped the whole racket.

for some strange reason I always thought Malcolm took Archies statement about a man living by his rep and held the honorable E. M.
to that same standard...and that's all I will say about that

Archie being high when he took the number did NOT happen in the book.

"All a man has is his rep" was NOT said by Archie in the book.

 

[Rain]

Made a point to read it years ago. I should read it again. I’ve almost forgotten all of it.

 

[El Bajo Negro]

Hell yeah I know many nikkas that probably only read books when they were locked up lol

James Patterson make the time go faster

like my people from the island say "you cant be wrong and strong" ...I'll read the chapter again sir
appreciate it

I never read, most dudes I know never read it either. Most people ain't just reading books in they spare time. People life to busy for that, this ain't the 80s where the world was a lot slower

Life isn’t faster than it was in the 80’s people just occupy their time with bullshyt like Instagram,Twitter, Facebook, reality tv and trolling on hip hop message boards

 

[Larry Lambo]

Never finished it. Got about 70% through

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.

I've read it and its much better than the movie. But I don't think this is an honest book once I think about how Alex Haley Roots book was based on a lie.
