"Show me in the white community where a comedian is a white leader" - Malcolm X on dikk Gregory

[Benefited]

Nah man if I have to manually put in html codes I’m not doing it

You the only one around here who has a compulsive disorder about time stamped videos, it ain’t that deep

all you have to do is right click on the video while its playing and it will have an option to copy the URL at current time. We shouldn't be not timestamping in 2019 fellas

I agree with you that the NOI killed Malcolm because of what they viewed as blasphemy. But on the other hand white people have killed or attempted to kill,lock up,or bury so many black leaders I don't think any

As ADOS we’re all taught very early on not to trust the government nor the alphabet boys - even street cats will tell you this.

But that ain’t what happened to Malcolm, the dudes who squeezed the triggers even said why they did it

You can right click on a YouTube app through your smart phone? Show me how you do that

I don't think dikk Gregory was ever looked at as a 'leader'. Just someone who used his gift of comedy to speak truth to power.


Show me in 2019 where we watch videos without a timestamp

is that why he ran for president because he did not want to be look at as a leader?LOL

use the web browser instead of the app,the youtube app is wack as hell anyway

I agree with this,alot of people don't know that black people didn't like Malcolm back then because what he is now. But they KNOW white people hated him so immediately see the motive there. Even outside of the NOI many black people looked at Malcolm as someone who was making things harder for them by stirring the pot. Not to mention I am sure there are those in the NOI who have reason to blame the white man out of shame,and because of the fact Malcolm became the most famous and heralded black muslim ever besides Muhammad Ali. The white man bought suspicion on themselves so I don't particular blame anybody who refuses to say case closed on this,let the white man remain a suspect. Based on their movements at the time,you never know.

Also I disagree with Malcolm on this,why would he compare us with the white community. Who cares who they can see as a leader,black people should be allowed to pick our leaders however we choose,as long as its a good choice. Dikk Gregory had alot of knowledge to give so I don't see why he couldn't have been seen as a black leader. Not to mention thats who is given the biggest platforms to speak in this country,especially back then. So it is by design and gods plan that entertainers should have been leaders.

No white comedian is ever a leader in the white community because white comedians are different to black comics. Our great black comics have depth to them, they speak dark truths in a way that makes people laugh and flies over the heads of those not wise enough to understand, truths that they wouldn't get away with saying if they outright said them. You avoid the Malcolm fate by spitting the truth on a stand up stage

Very true, my favorite comedians were dikk Gregory, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Katt Williams and Cory Holcombe. You can't be a true comedian without bringing light to fukked up situations with humor.

 

[Yaboysix]

Hmm i never thought about it.most our leaders are entertainers lol.

Idk.sitting here thinkin about it..if you come up tryin to lead black folks out here...you better be a raw ass rapper..sing..tell Jokes or something with it too..cant be a one trick pony outchea..

Idk.maybe us black folks are so in tune with art that you better do something interesting to display that leadership..

 

[Piff Perkins]

You cacs always expose yaselves in threads like this.

Farrakhan may have been mad at Malcolm but he never said he ordered any hit on him. It was entirely the FBI.

Farrakhan admitted to it already breh. That's why I can't fukk with him or the NOI. It's clear Malcolm was a threat to an establishment that overlooked Elijah's fukkery in pursuit of personal gain/wealth/fame, and Malcolm threatened to topple their entire grift.

Now it's 2019 and Malcolm is a legend while Farrakhan (who has admittedly done some good things of course) is out here pimping scientology.

 

[EBK String]

I nor anyone I know has looked to comedians as leaders. Must be a low level black thing.

Or maybe, Black people are not aware of those that are representing them in high places, and so they go for low hanging fruit.

Low hanging fruit aside, it still does not negate the fact that there are still those that represent them in high places.



Even Judas had a choice.

fukk the Boule

 

[EBK String]

Nall breh Malcolm almost died earlier because of his disrespect. The Philadelphia black mafia had the green light when Malcolm lived in Philly because they thought he was gay. He lived with a man in north philly and slept in same bed but they were told to stand down by someone of higher authority

this is so potent and relevant... wow

That’s some shyt they made up

 

[staticshock]

You weirdos love saying this even though the beef between the NOI and Malcolm went on forever, including Farrakhan - openly shytting all over Malcolm

Hell, even muhammad ali is on video saying Malcolm deserved to die - but you cats are so enamored and terrified of the govt that they just HAD to have been involved

Coli won’t like this

Every time a black person with notoriety is killed it’s always the government who does it

Always. And again, the shooters are on video saying they did it but:

“Nah! They were under mind control!!”
