pretty much, although what he said is might hold a lot of truth. he wouldn't be on our side to fight if we did rise up.
fact is, whites have been waiting for a race war for over half a century, they're tired of waiting. they have the guns, ammo and training, they're just want us to make a move. now they'll keep poking and prodding us until they can get the reaction they want.

We as black men should ask study warfare and be ready at the jump.
Lord knows they are.
Our best weapon is intelligence. Striking blows without use violence. (Yet still having the best defence, a good offence. Having guns and not using them, having funds instead.) But this requires organization, financial capitol and tact.
To stoop to violence is the lowest form of progress in our position. We must be armed but not take the offensive. We may even have to reach out of country for allies.
Remember: war is more than violence, it is also commerce and trade, education and populace.
This is why Malcolm said it would be important for Black Americans to reach out to Africa. The most important victories are those we make in progress, peace and prosperity.
