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

[Da Jungles]

Just bought this book off Amazon last week. Never read it

 

[bewitched]

My reverence for Malcolm came from reading his autobiography and secondly listening to his speeches. The movie doesn't give you a full grasp of what Malcolm was as a man and leader so it is best to read the autobiography to have a better understanding as to how Malcolm became who he was from his own words and why he's held in high regard.

Great book. Had to read it for one of my English classes when I was in high school. Been a fan of his ever since.

Never read it. What am I missing that wasn't the movie?

Coli got a book club thread?

I read it when I was 17. I forget what I wrote in class, but it was basically shytting on white folks, and my white English teacher actually bought me the book as a gift after that. I was pretty shocked. She also let me take and keep whatever books I wanted that were collecting dust on the shelves.

But, yea, I know plenty of dudes who never read it. The amount of times i see people throw around the phrase "fake militant" on here, I'm sure there are plenty of people on this site who've never read it as well.

Watched the movie as a child. And read the book as a teenager. One of my favorite nonfiction books.

it's like a billion "Christians" that never read the bible so


But it was more than just a book/ really was like a conversation.

I always say things find people at the right time/ and when they are most apt to accept them/ or gain some wisdom from it.

Universal knowledge/ Consciousness to me is like the Lottery


Everybody is chipping in just a little, and if you observe/ keep open mind/ develop interest in others faiths/ beliefs even mistakes....

You can potentially win big dividends in your own personal life what you reap from others

 

[get these nets]

Reelblack channel on youtube has the full version of this up, for those who want to listen to the (abridged) audiobook version of the book. It's a little over 4 hours



I'm a collector, so I respect that channel being able to uncover and share all the rare stuff. They basically made most of my personal collection worthless, but it's all good.
I still like to find rare items in real life.
