I bet China would crap a rock if they seen us do in our own government to clean up the corruption. Why? I wonder how much monkey business they are responsible for here!

I still don't like King because he was a creepy sex fiend. He said what he was expected to say in public about Kennedy. Its all an act.

Monkey business? Thats a great idea! I bet we could really fix the country if we replaced all our politicians with monkeys. They would probably get more done.

thank goodness people are blessed with an ability to learn and grow


he had plenty of life lessons by the time it was said and done and the younger MALCOLM was much more angry than the Malcolm that came back from pilgrimage,,,

( I dont recall the civil rights leaders shunning him either, from my elders accounts or my readings)

Malcom X left the Black Muslims and rejected their ways. That's why they killed him.

What he believed as far as his religion and God was concerned was that it was personal. He said that people should keep their religious beliefs personal to them because religious beliefs separate people.

At the end of his life he was a humanitarian. You don't know the true history of Malcom X.

It does seem strange that the people here who seem most aggressive and war-like in this thread, praise King's passiveness and criticize Malcomx's more militant stance just because it was directed at the white establishment. For him, that was the enemy.

We, as a nation, chose the militant aggressive path. All races participate in our wars.

It's hypocrisy. When they condemn people for their militancy, it's not because they reject hatred or violence. It's because they can't understand why they would be the object of hatred. Hatred and violence is perfectly fine with them as long as it's directed toward the right people.

So, Jeannie, here's a hypothetical. Say the country you love is at risk of being taken over by the evil of , say, a corporate fascist dictatorship. Which approach would you prefer to take? A more militant, possibly violent strategy, or the MLK passive strategy?

He taught that black people were the original people of the world,and that white people were a race of devils. In his speeches, Malcolm X said that black people were superior to white people, and that the demise of the white race was imminent. While the civil rights movement fought against racial segregation, Malcolm X advocated the complete separation of African Americans from white people. He proposed the establishment of a separate country for black people as an interim measure until African Americans could return to Africa. Malcolm X also rejected the civil rights movement's strategy of nonviolence, and instead advocated that black people use any necessary means of self-defense to protect themselves. Malcolm X's speeches had a powerful effect on his audiences, generally African Americans who lived in the Northern and Western cities, who were tired of being told to wait for freedom, justice, equality and respect. Many blacks felt that he articulated their complaints better than the civil rights movement did.

Many white people, and some blacks, were alarmed by Malcolm X and the things he said. He and the Nation of Islam were described as hatemongers, black supremacists, violence-seekers, and a threat to improved race relations. Civil rights organizations denounced Malcolm X and the Nation as irresponsible extremists whose views were not representative of African Americans. Malcolm X was accused of being antisemitic.

Hell, Dr. King even refused to meet with him on several occasions. The ONLY time they were EVER together was for a Senate Committee hearing in Washington where they either arrived at the same time or left at the same time and were together less then a minute only enough time to take one picture of the one and only meeting.
