A hate-monger is STILL a hate monger, and that is all that Malcolm ever was.

Hate is the inevitable outcome of 300 years of undiluted evil by whites towards blacks. For the first time in American history a black person could freely speak his mind to a white person without fearing for his life. What did you think would come out ? Love ? Why should it ?

The first step in building a better relationship between black and white people was what diplomats call a "frank exchange of views". That means direct, in-your-face venting. That means telling the other party how you really and truly feel instead of what they want to hear. And that is good because free people speak their minds. It is slaves who pretend.

True...and bears repeating. :)

Yea, right! Making excuses for hate doesn't make it noble. Next you will refer to 9-11 terrorist as "freedom fighters"!

Was he Civil War and XIV amendment "undiluted evil"?

(sigh) History is so much easier when you don't know the facts. A bit of suggested reading:

• "Up From Slavery","The Case of the Negro", and "Is the Negro having a fair chance?" Booker T.Washington.
• "Negro Migration during the [First World] War", by Emmett J. Scott.
• "Black and White; land, labor, and politics in the [Early 20th century] South" by Timothy T. Fortune
• "A century of Negro Migration", Carter Woodson
• "Negro Soldiers in the Spanish-American War," Edward Johnson.
• "The Social History of the American Negro", Benjamin Brawley

(oh, and by the way, nearly everyone of these authors are black.)

LOL! Reminds me of a truism:

If a diplomat says "No", he means "Maybe".
If a diplomat says "Maybe", he means "Yes".
If a diplomat says "Yes", he's no diplomat.

Barbra Streisand and then some!

Are you a member of the NOI? Do you agree with the past and present positions of the Black Panthers? If the answer to those 2 questions is no,then why are you spouting their propaganda?

And in the end it wasn't a white man who killed Malcom X. Think about that.

Just a bump for Sam the Sham. I would attempt to argue on his side, but he seems to have it well under control (and seems to be much more knowledgable and eloquent than I would be.)
