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

[Kwabena]

White people dont need leaders. They are not an oppressed race

Wrong. Cacs are being radicalized by the thousands as a result of divisive rhetoric from Trump, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, etc.

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

Jeez..so much to uncover with that story...

I was in the NOI. Stepdad's side of the family is all in the NOI. I've met people who actually KNEW Malcolm, Betty Shabazz when he was a minister in Harlem and later Farrakhan when he became the minister in Harlem. The NOI directly had nothing to do with Malcolm's assassination. You had brothers who had a fanatical urge to try to hurt Malcolm due to religious zeal. Elijah Muhammad gave orders to not have Malcolm harmed. Was there beef? Of course! Malcolm was still living in the house that was owned by the NOI up until it was fire bombed. If the NOI wanted Malcolm dead by order of Elijah Muhammad he would have been dead within hours of the order given. Minister Farrakhan's blood brother Alvin Farrakhan lived down the block from Malcolm. He could have easily did the job himself.

The government had agents all up in the NOI just like they did with Garvey and the UNIA, the Black Panthers, NAACP, SCLC, or any other movement or persons who was trying to do something to benefit black people. Malcolm's own damn bodyguard was a undercover cop spying on Malcolm and would later do the same thing with the Black Panthers!

As far as Farrakhan's involvement, he had no power at that time. He was just a minister in Boston. Farrakhan along with all the other ministers of Elijah Muhammad wrote articles attacking Malcolm in Muhammad Speaks. Farrakhan's involvement was just like Trump's rhetoric talking down on illegal immigrants, muslims, etc. If one of his crazed fans decided to go shoot up a mosque or a DNC headquarters he would have a indirect responsibility since he inflamed them with his rhetoric. Essentially that is what Farrakhan did when it came to Malcolm. Farrakhan has admitted the part he played and has reconciled with Malcolm's family. Here is one of Malcolm's daughters, Ilyasah Shabazz, with the minister at Aretha Franklin's funeral last year.

I knew this post would be completely ignored.

According to the coli, this was Farrakhan’s CIA clone doing this interview admitting that his words and rhetoric led to Malcolm’s death, and that his death was the sole responsibility of “black men”

that's not what he's saying; he's admitting his rhetoric could have let people to go out and act on his words.

My tweet made its rounds I see.

A few years ago dikk Gregory also said that no other race uses athletes and entertainers as leaders, so he agreed with Malcolm to a point.

I don't even remember making this thread

Y’all cats do realize this is a 60+ year old quote right? Pretty much all of white liberals socio-political leaders are comedians

Are you calling Stephen Colbert a leader?

 

[EndDomination]

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

Only sometimes. They were comedians first, and their comedy reflects that. Even the sharpest Black comic like Richard Pryor only stated conscious things every other set.

Outside of Jon Stewart - who was using comedy as a way to mask political analysis (this was not a thing as potent as it has been in the 21st century) no political ideology white people subscribe to has comedians as the leaders.

 

[Raw Lyrics]

Those that coerced them to pull the trigger are more at fault. Stop defending these cacs just to attack black folks.

exactly, same reason why Sammy The Bull can murder 30 people and get off, yet the one who gave the orders (Gotti) died in jail.

 

[Goat poster]

Entertainers was built differently back then tho.

dikk Gregory was that dude.

*i still see Brother Malcoms Point.

 

[Yaboysix]

Our people are naturally talented and alluring. It's not that we are looking to entertainers for leadership, it's more the leaders have talent to be entertainers.

We just raw all the way around. People wanna look and be like us.

Are you calling Stephen Colbert a leader?

I wasn't joking when I said this earlier in the thread:


for WHITE. LIBERALS. not all liberals, but the WHITE ones - these are who they put right next to their pelosi's and schumer's, maybe even higher.

Trevor Noah, Colbert, Seth Meyers, Samantha Bee, Jimmy Kimmel, Bill Maher, Sarah Silverman <<< we're pretending these aren't political leaders in white america? who else is making them millionaires?

But why they agreed to it is just as concerning. Theses are not TRUE black folks if they put black politicians at risk. c00ns and traitors should be called out.This isn't about not hating the government or CIA, its about code to defend ourselves from them.
