Read a biography on Malcolm X or learn more about him and you wont have this opinion. He was a good speaker and at times he could have his head straight and be profound, but more often he was short-sighted, ignorant, and sabotaged and set back progress for race relations in this country. He called MLK and the most important civil rights leaders uncle toms and denounced them like dogs. They actually had a vision unlike him and were making progress, all he was trying to do was divide black people and sabotage the civil rights movement so his cult, the NOI, could gain more members by taking them away from the civil rights camp. Members, whom, malcolm x sponsored the severe beatings of and turned a blind eye to the sexual abuse of.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@neilrichardson7454 I get what you mean, the state of education in general for everyone is grim but there are sophisticated black American intellectuals people know nothing of such as Thomas Sowell, Glenn Loury, John McWhorter because the liberal machine doesn’t want it. It goes against its whole premise. And that is the one thing I agree with Malcolm X’s analysis on. Otherwise, he shares the same broken, not useful premises as the narrative he criticizes, which is a major reason that things haven’t changed for a portion of black America as much as they could have. For instance, the other guy in this debate I haven’t even heard of despite having been thinking deeply about these issues the past five years. His analysis and questioning of Malcolm’s premises and conclusions is more practical, useful, as history seems to suggest. The sad thing is people have been sooooo deeply propagandized that they see the fact that some of Malcolm’s observations are as relevant today as they were then, not as a failure of vision but as a confirmation of his correctness. Sad but it is what it is.

[@95Ldunc]

@@docmarc36 I disagree that his natural ability to captivate an audience was a learned skill; any more than having a great singing voice is learned. If you remember, in his past life he was an effective con artist. He knew how to communicate with people both individually and collectively as an audience. While I would agree Elijah taught him about the principles of the religion, Malcolm’s natural giftedness is what made people stop and listen. Only Almighty God can gift people with natural talent like he had.

[@seejames4u]

Although, what I did notice, which was problematic for me, was that X wasted time trying too hard to be poetic, or profound - and wouldn't answer specific questions. I think sooooo highly of him and feel he was largely misunderstood as a complex human - in general, and that habit sometimes didn't help bring clarity to his messages. Bayard Rustin is also a powerful force toward the cause and even he was able to identify this type of occasional speaking (and even called X out on it - and compelled X to be more mindful of the specific question). Therefore, I thought X was the most clearest toward the end of the 60-minute conversation.

[@95Ldunc]

@@seejames4u I understand what you’re saying but at the same time his use of analogies was very powerful in driving home a point. To provide an example, on many occasions he was labeled a “demagogue”. During his time under Elijah Muhammad (before his split with the Nation) He was asked by a white journalist (during the midst of segregation and the civil rights movement) the following question: “Why do you hate the white man?” His response was a word picture that was extremely impactful in silencing the journalist. Malcom’s response: “That’s like the rapist asking the victim why do you hate me?” Or the Wolf asking the sheep why do you hate me? If someone is oppressing you, why would you love them?” The point of this is to say that many times he used visual language and analogies to drive home a point even if not to the individual with whom he was having the discourse but to the audience member who had a preconceived notion as to who Malcolm was or what he stood for. Remember that the media labeled him as a dangerous hate monger whose sole purpose was to destroy the order of their society. He had a disdain for the pacifist like Rustin and others he felt were a mouthpiece for the establishment. While Rustin was speaking directly to Malcolm X, I think his Malcolm’s way of speaking was largely to impact the audience more so than to his opponent or the moderator.

[@kathleenhurd205]

Listening to this 62 years later proves that Malcolm X has a point that needed to be considered. We have practiced what we thought was integration and now those same people are trying to show us that it was only to appease the government. They are trying to take us so far back it will seem like anything we thought we accomplished never existed.

Agreed, but it wasn't Malcolm, it was the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad that he very eloquently articulated.

[@domorehilton5476]

​@@gatekeepercreativeTrue but he grew expanding his world view and became dangerous. Sadly. Brother turned against brother, divided we fell and lost a great leader.

[@kgar5String]

@@gatekeepercreative Then why was he the only on who spoke like that, Muhammad could not teach a replacement?

[@gatekeepercreative]

@kgar5String have you never heard of Minister Farrakhan? You've never heard of minister Muhammad Ali, Jeremiah Shabazz, Theodore Hamza, Abdul Rahman, or his own son, Imam WD Muhammad? I mean ABSOLUTELY NO DISRESPECT to you, sir, but you are obviously not qualified to make a statement like this because you lack sufficient knowledge on the subject. Do some independent research. Farrakhan replaced him! And, if you want to be honest, Mosque number 7 grew to heights, in terms of memebership following, and influence in Harlem under minister Farrakhan, than it ever saw under minister Malcolm. In fact, as National Representative of the HONORABLE ELIJAH MUHAMMAD, the position Malcolm held before him, minister Farrakhan was more successful in all regards than Malcolm was. Don't take my word for it. Do the research. And PLEASE understand, I am NOT trying to discredit or bash our fallen brother Malcolm. He was the best advocate and helper of the HEM during his time, and he should be respected for his contribution to the Nation, and to the struggle for Freedom Justice and Equality for Black people in this country. But if you want to exalt Malcolm above his teacher, or somehow single him out or set him apart from the body of knowledge and training he received from messenger ELIJAH Muhammad, or even reference him as an anomaly as opposed to simply one of many shinning examples of the teachings of the HEM, I'm sorry you're just DEAD WRONG!

[@dro2real836]

I see this, because I understand what black peoples plight in America has been from the very inception of this country. Keep in mind Black people were being lynched when my mother was a kid, my grandmother, who is from Lake Charles, Louisiana, watched her uncle, be beaten to death by a group of white men when she was a kid , this happened right in front of her she never really got over it and some of the stories she used to tell us would make your blood run cold. So true which is why when Donald Trump came along, he was able to galvanize white people by using the biggest dog whistle right in our faces make America great again let’s keep it real.

@@jasonwakeman His autobiography was written by alex haley, the famous plagiarizer of the book "roots". And theres no hate at all? i admire how malcolm was dynamic and evolved as a person after his trip to mecca, he gets a B for effort and an F for results or vision/intelligence as far as helping black progress. (at times he had great vision and made very poignant observations, but then would in the next sentence immediately contradict himself, flip flop, go another direction, and say something completely self defeating or derogatory about black people and disrespect his compatriots]) My only intent is to let people know not to be impulsive or rush to judgments about malcolm x, and to first educate themselves on him, because he was more famous and notroious than he was an actual pioneer or helper of black progress. Itd be very uneducated and disrespectful to put him in a category with rosa parks, mlk, any of their ilk, of whom his entire life he called uncle tom's and other pejoratuve statements and then denounced every step of progress they made or good thing they did for the black race. I dont think malcolm should be celebrated at all, but he is an interesting character and gives insight ro the zeitgeist.

Even after the passage of the 14th Amendment in 1868, the withdrawal of federal troops from the South basically sealed the fate of African Americans for nearly a century, because White southerners realized that may not have been able to deny Black people their citizenship rights, but they could reduce the quality of it by effectively making them second class citizens, which is what segregation effectively did. You can call the ideology flawed, but who wants to be treated like an alien in what is suppose to be their own country? I can understand the rationale behind Malcolm’s thoughts.

[@ALIENDNA14]

Nope! Bayard Rustin is complete trash; and also shouldn't even be spoken about, in the same breathe, as Malcolm X... Bayard Rustin was a CIA saboteur, and also wasn't even a Foundational Black American... As it turns out, he was a Caribbean tether, who also actively undermined the so-called Civil-Rights Movement. This is just History, that should be more widely known.

Are u really struggling to define ur humanity? if humanity has any validity coming from the mouths of any critters out here it has to be the Africans and those who issue directly from them ethnically and historically. the gift and curse of being human was born in Africa, regardless of how the usual suspects would have us believe. As far as I'm concerned, a respectable commentary on human history has yet to be written, because, for whatever reason, we are not writing it. meanwhile, there is no human story if we are omitted from the telling. it was always questionable to rely too heavily on the tutilage of the prodigal son for a vision of who and what we are, or who we need to be. our humanity was never in question if we understand what humanity really means. ..it is what it is.

But of course. America likes to pat itself on the back for abolishing slavery. Except it didn't. Slavery is still constitutionally protected. It changed from private owners to state owners, and requires you now to first be labeled a criminal. The other funny part is that just to reach that point, this country had to have an entire war with itself. This country had to go to war with itself to abolish slavery, and the previous traitors thst almost ruined the union? They were allowed back, many of them never charged for treason, and they were given reparations for their slaves. All of that was a red flag to what would happen to those freed slaves and their descendents.

He was a prophet for our times. I only pray black people can master their history as well as he did so we can understand the way forward. I agree that have to know the Most High. I am reading the prophets and the prophecies and understanding how we came to be here. The stories describe us. He promised that we would wake up and we are. Even King realized that he made a mistake, when he stated in his letter, I'm afraid I have lead my people into a burning building, when he fought for desegregation. Mr. X was right when he said that the government had to pull a gun on white citizens to make them play nice with black citizens. I was a baby when we got civil rights not and in this day people in the government, the same politicians that mister man said we needed to go to, while Gerrymandering and stealing our votes shows a bit of the brotherly love they still have for us. Sorry. I love and respect that prophet because his words ring true today.

​@@jeanwilson3752the truth was not murdered with him, only his knowledge. However, he left us enough to grow us up and to point us in the right direction to learn the truth for ourselves, which is what any great teacher would do. Our truth is out there, it's deep and vital that we find it. I'm sure it is because they would not have fought so hard to hide it, and Malcolm would not have been assassinated. They killed him just like they killed Jesus, for teaching His people the truth. They pointed us to the same truth. It's not dead. It didn't die with Jesus.
