Dudes will point to that Malcolm X clip forever to justify bullsh1t
FOREVER.
Malcolm X wasn't exactly wrong, but his statement needs to be understood in context.
His aim at the time of this statement was Black separatism, complete political and social detachment from White America. Coli militants conveniently leave out that he moved away from Black separatism after he left the NOI.
If you're not seriously advocating for Black separatism (which is contradictory to asking politicians for "tangibles", without the intent to separate from White society) we shouldn't be taking you seriously.
