Just because he sang a different tune late in life, is no reason to parrot his thoughts. Like Obama he played the game of preaching to a crowd, and we would all be his victims if we took his words at face value, rather than considering their source.
To put it another way: The words of Malcolm X should be no more welcomed in your house as a philosophy, than the actual personage of a gay prostitute should be. Regardless of whether he at one time said something to elicit your agreement, that's the type of game that people who have no honor often play.
Which is exactly how we as a nation acquired many of the problems we have now, as the populace at large was manipulated to fall for the rhetoric of Obama without didn't sufficiently examining their source. Only in places such as FR were critical views explored, and these now are prescient of political developments we all are now the victims of.
Let's not make that same mistake again, regarding the mere words of Malcolm X.
Like I said, we are identified by our interests.
You are obsessed with your unattributed accusations of gay prostitution. And because of your fetish, you are imploring FReepers not to think, not to read, not to learn, of what Malcolm X taught black people, but instead join you in your frothing hatred.
I, on the other hand, like virtually everyone who studies what Malcom X taught, admire the fact that he repeatedly countered Leftists in the black communities. That he told black people to finish their educations, to start small businesses, to become economically self-sufficient and to stay off of government handouts. That he taught them to respect themselves.
That's how we differ, you and I - by what we focus on. What Malcom X taught the black community was more precious than gold, and would have saved millions of lives had he not been murdered by those same Leftists he was exposing.
All I have to go on for your slander is your slander - you give no sources. But you are obviously shilling, for there is zero justification to tell FReepers not to read and study what someone stood for, and merely dismiss a life because your vile claims. Being a Leftist, you cannot conceive of Christian thinking. It never occurs to you that it might just be someone who has fallen low, who God would choose to teach the value of his own life. That just such a person would be the one to standup among his people, after falling so hard, and teach them to repsect themselves. That the path they were on is wrong, and should be changed.
Unlike the vile group condemnation and complete ignorance you are teaching people to pursue in the name of morality, Christianity is full of fallen people whom God has lifted up to speak the truth, and to repent. Malcom X was Muslim, but Malcom X was religious and taught the political religion of self-respect. Your hatred and condemnation and calls for blacklisting and shunning identify you very easily as a collectivist.
Far more evil that your most frothing imaginings of what a gay prostitute does, is your call for people to stop learning. To stop reading, to stop thinking for themselves. What you are calling for is what is practiced under Sharia law, and in Chinese communism, where the group decides who is so filthy that they must be shunned and hated and never listened to. And now you push your hateful, ignorant, blind obedience to shun to conservatives, using what you believe to be Christian morality as a weapon against what you see as ignorant religious fools.
But conservative Christians aren't the same as your complacent liberal sheep. They do not demand perfection or death, like your familiar communist environment. They demand repentence and correction. They seek Grace and forgiveness. They revere learning and understanding.
Those are the people you are telling to shut up, stop learning, not to read, not to understand, not to decide for themselves and not to disagree with what youve decided their moral judgment should be.
And that's why I'm laughing at you.
