Would Malcolm X be successful today?

[UnQuantized]

MAGA Blacks and The Root "Are Black Men The White Men of The Black Community?" types would diminish him before he could build his platform. Wouldn't even need to kill him, just tarnish his name off the strength of his past and his commitment to accountability.

There was a level of seriousness to people in that era which made it possible to transmit certain messages. That seriousness is gone, combined with the algorithims being weaponized to neutralize some ideas in favour of others.

 

[Mr.FOH]

I think I'm gonna continue this series.

Ya'll think he would have done well in this era? Would he have avoided going to the Audubon or had better security?

What y'all think?

Me too movement would’ve cancelled him. He had a bunch of hoes while married. Some
Of those hoes def got lied too

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

nah he would be a tether being attacked by pretendians

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

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

how can you speak with such assuredness for a dead man.

even going as far as to mock his beliefs and claim he would view the world like you do and invalidate his own views

we have lunatics on this forum

y'all would have called him a tether due to his lineage. the end

 

[JustRegularBlack]

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.

He was doing quite more than just that. At minimum he raised Black people's awareness around the US's political and economic system of exploitation.

 

[BobbyWojak]

noi malcolm no but mecca malcom would be incredibly popular.

 

[K.O.N.Y]

Pan African FBA are cool?

yes as a means for economic empowerment. That other shyt is dodo bird negro non sense

 

[Rell84shots]

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

They woulda hated the Black Panthers too.

Yeah none of the black leaders/figures of the past would be successful today, because the black community is being led by degenerates. When black LGBT people and hoodrats started twerking during a rallies that's when you knew it was a wrap.

His predominate background was FBA. And he acted as such

And yes. Malcolm already showed signs of calling out non fbas, particularly africans, for questionable behavior

this would have expounded 10 fold if he saw the conditions today. Theres no doubt he would have eventually curved pannyism like he did other things. When faced with the bull shyt fbas face today

there's no "predominant" clown he is 2 halfs

just like Tiffany Hadish who this forum loves to call a tether when it's convenient

and again you CAN'T SAY what his mindframe would be based on YOUR bias. claiming HE WOULD HAVE YOU VIEWS and abandon what we know he stood for.

fukking lunatic. "there's no doubt" based on what? ...pretending to have insight on a dead man's perspective with such confidence you say absolute.



Malcolm would not be standing with Tariq and his disciples on any side of history in any reality.

 

[DaHNIC82]

He would be hated like Farrakhan

 

[Neuromancer]

yes as a means for economic empowerment. That other shyt is dodo bird negro non sense

What other way is there for.our economic empowerment?

No.

No to Marcus and to Malcolm.

I'm not even gonna get into their politics, but in terms of the actual practicality and logistics of becoming a pro-black leader - it can't be done.

Malcolm had the NOI and the Final Call - and paying membership
Marcus had the UNIA, a newspaper, and money coming in.

Black money. Hard earned Black money.

None of this was done with Ca$h app or Youtube.

It was done via the US Post Office, which is as neutral as a white institution can be.

This can't happen today.

I don't need to get into their politics.
I don't need to talk about the alleged "Black community"

From a practical stand point, of getting in front of black people, delivering a message, having an organization, getting Black folks to get up off they couch and do something - something sustained - them days are way over.

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

He likely would just be another person with a youtube page and a podcast. The truth is that there are many brilliant black authors and intellectuals who have the potential to pick up where he left off, but they're drowned out by a lot of noise in the media.

Besides, leaderless resistance is extremely effective in the modern day. Look how it's worked for white supremacists and Islamic terrorist groups. Al qaeda and isis still exist but most people don't know who is running them. That is by design.

I predict in the future, groups will fabricate leaders. The fake leaders who are made with deep fake technology will be a red herring that governments continue to chase while the organization builds strength and the perception of having an invincible leadership structure.

The irony of course is that they'd be right to believe that, but right in the wrong way. A movement exists as long as there are people who feel wronged by the status quo. If fascism presents itself, anti fascism will respond. If white supremacy presents itself, anti racism will respond. If wealth inequality presents itself, anti capitalist movements will respond.

The next 4 years will put a battery in the back of all anti oppressive movements. The democratic socialists of America had basically no motion until the first Trump presidency and they gained many new supporters.
