I only vaguely remember reading his autobiography so many years ago.

I do recall this: Malcolm X advocated violent revolution to secure the rights that blacks were denied.

The white establishment was horrified and bribed the movement. Welcome welfare for life and destruction of the black family.

In the big picture, X got it right. Blacks had earned a revolution. It is too bad they did not win it violently, for they would have received respect. Instead, they got more slavery in the form of welfare and decades of representation by the likes of Jesse Jackson.

Surely you're joking.

That "respect" would have been heaped on their graves. Along with dirt.

So you wish black people had gone in for the Mau Mau butcher whitey revolution that Malcom X advocated. You're either insane or evil.

In Mississippi we need a Mau Mau. In Alabama we need a Mau Mau. In Georgia we need a Mau Mau. Right here in Harlem, in New York City, we need a Mau Mau.’

is that what you consider earning respect?
