Well, let's hear/read his own words.you wanna read another view of Malcolm’s backtracking after he left the Nation and made the hajj you should read what the Rev. Albert Cleage had to say about him, which is the view I tend to believe. Especially if we’re to believe that Malcolm was trying to work his way back to the Nation and Elijah was receptive, which was said by numerous people close to them.
I’d expect these ignorant nikkas who don’t really know shyt about the man continue to spread the lie that he became some kinda peace loving integrationist who suddenly discovered our salvation in the electoral process, but that’s just not the truth.
Here is the speech he gave at the launch of the OAAU
6/28/64
I believe the full transcript is here
OAAU Founding Rally (June 28, 1964) ~ MALCOLM X
Full passage about politics is here
IV. Politics and Economics.
And the two are almost inseparable, because the politician is depending on some money; yes, that’s what he’s depending on.
Basically, there are two kinds of power that count in America: economic power and political power, with social power being derived from those two. In order for the Afro-Americans to control their destiny, they must be able to control and affect the decisions which control their destiny: economic, political, and social. This can only be done through organization. The Organization of Afro-American Unity will organize the Afro-American community block by block to make the community aware of its power and its potential; we will start immediately a voter registration drive to make every unregistered voter in the Afro-American community an independent voter.
We won’t organize any black man to be a Democrat or a Republican because both of them have sold us out. Both of them have sold us out; both parties have sold us out. Both parties are racist, and the Democratic Party is more racist than the Republican Party. I can prove it. All you’ve got to do is name everybody who’s running the government in Washington, D.C., right now. He’s a Democrat and he’s from either Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Mississippi, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, from one of those cracker states. And they’ve got more power than any white man in the North has. In fact, the President is from a cracker state. What’s he talking about? Texas is a cracker state, in fact, they’ll hang you quicker in Texas than they will in Mississippi. Don’t you ever think that just because a cracker becomes president he ceases being a cracker. He was a cracker before he became president and he’s a cracker while he’s president. I’m going to tell it like it is. I hope you can take it like it is. We propose to support and organize political clubs, to run independent candidates for office, and to support any Afro-American already in office who answers to and is responsible to the Afro-American community.
We don’t support any black man who is controlled by the white power structure. We will start not only a voter registration drive, but a voter education drive to let our people have an understanding of the science of politics so they will be able to see what part the politician plays in the scheme of things; so they will be able to understand when the politician is doing his job and when he is not doing his job. And any time the politician is not doing his job, we remove him whether he’s white, black, green, blue, yellow or whatever other color they might invent.
