We lost Malcolm way too soon. Turns out he was right. On quite a bit. His integrity and clear sight put King to shame. Now Sharpton and Jackson bamboozle, I mean lead the Black community. Yikes.
Lmao this man believed every other race was created by some black scientist named Yakub/Jacob 8,000 years ago and you morons actually take him seriously? Black Scientology fucking hilarious
In real life, not this movie stuff King was risking his life marching down South in the very heart of KKK country. Malcom was able to talk tough and slick because he was safe ( at least from the white man) up North in Harlem. They passed Civil Rights laws because of the pressure King and other OG’s put on America’s politicians. Malcolm tried to put together a deal with the American Nazi party of all people. They were both outstanding men but King was on another…. higher and more effective level for our people than X.
About a year before he died, King started to shift his ideology to more like Malcolm's. He realized that we need to support each other. When we had segregation, we HAD to support each other because we had no choice. But then you had more Black business owners too. A dollar stayed in our community longer than it does now.
