Would Malcolm X be successful today?

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Malcolm wasn't as popular in his life as some would think. He would for sure get heavily criticized by all sectors of black people just as he did when he was alive.

Yeah. Even MLK wasn’t well received amongst most of the black population. He was perceived as an agitator that was stirring up mess from the majority of common black folks…. Our history in this country is complicated and extremely nuanced when it comes to our leaders of yesteryear

Sadly no black leader with pure intentions towards our community would be successful in this day and age.

Same thing with the GOAT Muhammad Ali. (American) CACs absolutely hated him. More than they hate Mayweather because he constantly called out white supremacy.

He couldn’t even get any sponsorships because he was so outspoken. Imagine, an Olympic gold medalist heavyweight champion struggling to get sponsorships.

We all know if he was white he would be revered like Rocky was in his movies.

But once he got Parkinsons and was placated… he became the boxer who “transcended race.” If you look at history now, it’s hard to believe how much CACs hated Ali and considered him a traitor for not serving in the draft.

He wouldn’t be any more successful than the NOI. I love X but why do yall act like He was doing anything other than spreading NOI ideaology ? And that’s not a slight to him just facts.

No. I interviewed a man who was over 100 (back in 2006 he passed since then) and was pushing 40 at that time and he basically said Malcolm's ideas were too far ahead of their time that people couldn't pick up what he was putting down and people said he was too radical and aggressive.

 

[K.O.N.Y]

Black MAGA would disown him for being a pan-African.

They woulda hated the Black Panthers too.

Malcolm X would have been pro FBA and lineage based today

The veil of the panny LALA land isnt the same now as it was back then

 

[ReasonableMatic]

No! Malcolm X would be accused of being apart of a cult and he would be called Maga agent for talking bad about the left.

I agree with the sentiment, but sayin that Malcolm X talking bad about Liberals is talking bad about the Left, when they’re radically Centrist is funny and speaks to the political illiteracy in the Black community SMH

You yourself would have condemned him for building alliances with African countries. You hate black immigrants as any white MAGA.

[Standing on business]

The bed between Malcolm, Tariq, and Yvette would be hilarious

 

[Elim Garak]

What do you mean when you say successful?

To be fair it’s not only black people use the left/liberal/democrat interchangeably. I’ll say 90% of Americans do at this point. Same in reverse with right/conservative/republican. Which is why so many people are falling for the “democrats are the owned slaves “ talking point.

 

[Boonapalist]

Malcolm was a great orator and could’ve possibly went on to do great things. But how successful was he actually during his own time? I’d argue Elijah Muhammad was more successful than Malcolm in that era

if it made economic/financial sense then no.

And i hate black immigrants, even though i called out the usage of the word "tether" lol
