Happy birthday Malcolm X

[Samori Toure]

Malcolm X on the Black Community being projected as criminals:

“any Negro in the community can be stopped in the street. ‘Put your hands up,’ and they pat you down,” he said. The problem, he said, is that the “black community … has been projected as a community of criminals.” That projection has justified “any kind of brutal methods to suppress blacks because ‘they’re criminals anyway.’”

I just checked, Google Music has a bunch of Malcolm X speech albums available for stream. They're good listens whether you're in the car or at the house.

Good looking; I'm going to download google music right now, so I can play these when I'm going to work.

Happy birthday to Brother Malcolm; sometimes I think what would it be like it he was still alive.

A local radio station was playing his Pacifica Archive speeches today. Powerful stuff, especially when he delved into the need for black nationalism and the way democratic politicians (Dixiecrats) use black voters. It's sad how relevant his speeches are to this day and that no one since has been able to fill his role as a, by any means necessary, rights/empowerment leader. RIP to the GOAT.

Today should be a holiday and a celebration of this mans life!
His growth from Detroit Red to Malcolm X is nothing short of praiseworthy.

It burns me that there's holidays celebrating genocidal racists, while Malcolm is viewed as the militant terrorist




Happy Birthday to one of the greatest human beings to ever walk the earth

This brotha -- through the teachings of Elijah Muhammad -- SAVED my life. Who knows where I would be had my mentor not handed me that book.

it's funny how america has changed the story to

"malcolm x was a racist terrorist who went to mecca and realized that color didn't matter"

I've looked into years ago but I believe he only had the one grandson between his six daughters

You show me one of these people over here who have been thoroughly brainwashed, who has a negative attitude toward Africa, and I'll show you one that has a negative attitude toward himself. You can't have a positive attitude toward yourself and a negative attitude toward Africa at the same time. To the same degree that your understanding of and attitude toward Africa becomes positive, you'll find that your understanding of and your attitude toward yourself will also become positive. And this is what the white man knows. So they very skillfully made you and me hate our African identity, our African characteristics.

Explaining the importance of connecting with Africa.
