Malcolm X Blvd
Sam Gamgee

Posted on 01/15/2020 3:12:19 PM PST by Sam Gamgee

I hope I am not straying here as I never post general posts. But as a Canadian freeper I am puzzled as to why a road in Harlem is named after a racist like Malcolm X. According to even liberal Wikipedia Malcolm wanted to see the end of the white race. What is the appeal?

Why does Canada keep electing socialist PM’s?

Such things are done to appease the brigands in society.

Canada has its own version of this idiocy:

Oh am sure it does. As a Canadian we are not taught a single thing about Malcolm X, so was just curious.

Yes, Queen Charlotte island has been named some unpronounceable native name. So stupid.

Somebody in the district was running for some office or the other and needed the votes and MLK Blvd was already taken.

There’s a “portion” of the population who will name anything after Malcom Xcrement and MLK, both... nah, I won’t say it.

Sounds like the guy only left the Nation of Islam for strategy differences - still was in essence a white hating bigot.

At least he hated white liberals more than white conservatives!

Okay obviously I need to read a history on M X. But where to find an unbiased account.

The Queen Charlotte Islands will always be such for me.

Prior to his assassination, he’d gone to Mecca on Hajj, and upon his return home, he started having second thoughts. He broke from the Nation of Islam, because he realized that the NOI leader Elijah Mohammed was a hypocrite, and that the NOI wasn’t living up to its own standards. Because of that he was assassinated by the NOI. Not sure if that was enough to get things named after him, but it probably justified it in the minds of the politicians who put them in place.

Malcolm X was anti-white until he met white Muslims on his pilgrimage to Mecca; he never knew they existed before that, and they treated him well. He believed blacks had to solve their own problems instead of waiting for white liberals to do so - and he has been completely vindicated in that belief.

In the end he was killed by black Muslims because he had issues with some of their dealings with blacks.

Check out books on him, and the reviews from other readers.

I suspect you know the answer.

Why does your Prime Minister wear blackface, manage to get reelected, and then bash our president for the crimes committed by evil muslim clerics? What’s wrong with Canada???

To his merciful dying breath, he was a white hating bigot. Fat Al Charlatan and Shakedown Jackscum filled the voids of Xcrement and MLK, very quickly.

Allegedly he left the NOI because he found out that the “Honorable” Elijah Muhammad was having sexual relations with a many of the ladies that were associated with the NOI and he had as many as 8 children out of wedlock..

Malcolm X Blvd anywhere is not a place you want to be after dark. Same with MLJ blvd, etc.

Malcolm X is not a noteworthy individual other than he got killed by the Nation of islam and Louis Farrakhan was a triggerman.
