I think they already say that, or at least they did back then. Emmett Till got killed for supposedly whistling at a white woman.


So Ali is equal to murderous Klansmen. Thank you.

Did Alit ever do anything like that the Black Panthers and Black Muslims were certainly terorist groups like the KKK (not in scale), though if that's what you're saying.

I got news for you, in those days black man were killed for staring at white women, but the point I'm trying to make is you could not take him serious, he said shite like that to frick with the white man he knew no black people were gonna kill white peopl, especially in those days, without sufferin the consequences, he was the ultimate sideshow.

No, but they definitely encouraged violence, like i said in scale they aren't close to what the KKK was doing.

I thought they were about self-defense, not terrorizing folk.

The Nation of Islam has a history of racism. Belonging to it the same as belonging to the KKK. Just the color is different.

and your also talkin about very tense times, Ali was a member of the NOI like Malcolm X their speaker, but realized like X that violence was not the answer, and got out of it.

Seperatism, don't know about racism. The NOI doesn't have the violent history that the Klan does.

Maybe the NOI exists and has formed their beliefs because of centuries of slavery, and then Jim Crow and police brutality, economic and political oppression. Just maybe.

The NOI is unlikely to be composed of members who are descendents of people who held white folk in slavery or passed seperate but unequal laws and kept white folk from voting or owning land.
