I like it when Malcolm X say that blacks need to stop begging, they don't make them like that anymore.

Malcolm X said that riding on the front of someone else bus doesn't give you dignity, he said that when you own your own bus that gives you dignity. (that was powerful) |

What statements of relevance does Malcolm X make after Mecca except the mixing of the races, which he used for political purposes. |

I don't think so but keep being a NOI clone if you want to. I'll keep my own mind. |

Malcolm was enlightened after Mecca. He begin to see things from a macro perspective rather than the jaded world of the NOI. How can you call your self a messenger when you are laying pipe on young girls in the nation, imprgananting them and kicking them out to fend for themselves? Hypocrisy of the highest order. Has the Nation done some good things for the Black community? I certainly think so, but it doesn't detract from the truth. I use to go to the temples as a young man. However, I never once considered becoming a Muslim. Malcolm believed fervently in the uplifting of the Black community, but I think that he saw that this could not be accomplished in the vaccuum and cacoon of the NOI. Many in the Nation were jealous of Malcolm, which ran counter to the "broterhood" messge that the Nation was promulgating. I think that there were some in the Nation who were complicit in Malcolm's murder. Was it ordered by Elijah or others within the nation in conjunction with J Edna Hoover and the FBI? That is certainly a plausible scenario in my view. One hand "washes" the other...with the blood of a martyr. |

He learned it from Mecca. And the Nation of Islam is a church. Are you doing alright? |

Here's what Malcolm said about his time with the Nation: "L]istening to leaders like Nasser, Ben Bella, and Nkrumah awakened me to the dangers of racism. I realized racism isn't just a black and white problem. It's brought bloodbaths to about every nation on earth at one time or another. Brother, remember the time that white college girl came into the restaurant—the one who wanted to help the [Black] Muslims and the whites get together—and I told her there wasn't a ghost of a chance and she went away crying? Well, I've lived to regret that incident. In many parts of the African continent I saw white students helping black people. Something like this kills a lot of argument. I did many things as a [Black] Muslim that I'm sorry for now. I was a zombie then—like all [Black] Muslims—I was hypnotized, pointed in a certain direction and told to march. Well, I guess a man's entitled to make a fool of himself if he's ready to pay the cost. It cost me 12 years. That was a bad scene, brother. The sickness and madness of those days—I'm glad to be free of them." |
