Did the wrong message get out? Instead of pushing forced integration, affirmative action, and the welfare post MLK/Civil Rights movement... Malcom X wanted strong black families and communities and to be independent of whitey. In this scenario, the black community could have been self independent and not beholden to white leftists who pay them off for their own power.

Why don’t we talk about the white people that allowed MLK’s requests to actually happen?

X was a pawn for a genocidal cult, but was gifted orator.

MLK was preaching common sense.

While I believe that the Black-only Nation of Islam is a scourge upon the earth, I have some admiration for Malcolm X.

And fwiw the Malcom X biography "The Dead Are Arising" by Les Payne, which won the 2021 Pulitzer Prize in Biography, and the 2020 National Book Award for Non-Fiction is a great read

Like America itself, Malcom X was flawed and complicated. Yet he was a great man and a great American. Malcolm X correctly believed that black empowerment and protection should be rooted in both self-sufficiency and a strong support of our God endowed Natural Right to self defense.

Malcolm X was the productive member of society.

MLK was a dirty communist beating up and raping hookers.

The older I get, the more respect I gain for Malcolm. I've no use for the Nation of Islam, but Malcolm was ahead of his time.

Malcolm X recognized white liberals as the threat we know they are!

I still think our establishment had something to do with their assassinations. It's easier to control the messaging of dead people than it is to control the messaging of live people.

Pretty sure he had no use for them, either, since Elijah Muhammad was the one who called for the killing of Malcolm X!

As I have learned more about Malcolm X, the more I have an appreciation for his message.
It took time and understanding to come around on him, but I have.

He damn sure described “smiling foxes” perfectly.

Malcolm ax’s life story is so misunderstood and people forget he changed drastically in his latter years, which ultimately got him killed by the garbage organization known by the Nation of Islam and his back stabbing friend Mohammad Ali.

After the Hajj to Mecca, Malcolm X came back with a message of unity but one that still stressed sef-reliance and a family unit. For that he was killed.

That’s why it is hilarious when morons spew his initial teachings as what he believed forever and why they love him. If anything, he should be an example to them that you have to unite to improve life not splinter and fracture.
