Racism is not logical or sane.
Liturgically perhaps. But I was speaking of the symbolism of political power.
Purple is the color of Emperors and Kings.
I am from East Texas and they can come on down. I just know they would be met with open arms.
Do I really need the little /s?
The Nation of Islam’s initial contacts with white supremacists had, naturally, been quite negative. In one instance, the Nation of Islam bought a plot of Alabama farmland. Soon, a Klan-led effort leased all the land around their farm as an intimidation tactic — and the black Muslims found that their dairy cows kept getting shot. But by 1961, Klan members began to view black nationalism as a pleasing alternative to the growing U.S. movement toward nonviolent integration. As a goodwill gesture, the Klan even reportedly offered more than 20,000 acres of Georgia land to the Nation of Islam, intending to kickstart an exodus of American blacks to segregated homelands. Speaking just before his 1968 death, Malcolm X said that he personally reviewed the Klan’s land offer, and brokered a truce between the two organizations. “From that day forward the Klan never interfered with the Black Muslim movement in the South,” said X. . .: The weird time Nazis made common cause with black nationalists
“How about that for ahead of his time — a two state solution! /s”
SunkenCiv, you are one of the most knowledgeable poster’s here. As usual, spot on. History is important. Very important. Thank you.
“I am from East Texas and they can come on down. I just know they would be met with open arms.”
What part? North or South? I am from Northeast Texas. Same here. Those Texas boys will be waiting on them with Welcome Baskets /s.
Paging Dave Chappelle...
>>Malcolm X said the meeting had been authorised by Muhammad....
And then he flew off in his UFO.
Desegregation didn’t work in the old days.
People were still separated by color.
And, up till recently, people could still be racist/bigoted, even if wrong.
But...
Everything was fixed in the last year or so.
We now have BLM and Antifa, who have corrected all the wrongs of the past. We are all now living in the land of love and merriment. No more racism, and equality has been achieved, and we have to thank those government/political officials in liberal-blue-states who went along with the demands of BLM and Antifa. That fixed everything.
No more hate and no more looting or violence or racism.
It’s a whole new world out there.
And yet other nations that brought in more slaves don’t get such global condemnation.
They don’t bother anybody.
Yeah, but they win way more than their share of Nobel prizes and create way more than their share of lifesaving vaccines.
It just ain't FAIR!
Doubtful
Strange bedfellows.
Lake O’ the Pines, toward Big Sandy. Lots and lots of cousins up there.
SS member #2 was part Jewish. Hitler had to intervene on his behalf (Emil Maurice). Fired when he got caught bedding Hitler’s niece, but retained official protection.
Hitler even protected at least one full Jew from persecution (his mother’s physician).
Then there was Field Marshal Milch. Stephanie von Hohenlohe (protected by Himmler) and Sophie Lehar (protected by Goebbles probably to keep Hilter happy).
Gee whiz, no Anne Frank jokes at the meet-up ? What a bunch of pikers.
I get a kick out of the folks here who think Malcolm X was Zero’s daddy. If that were the case, Zero would’ve looked as Caucasian as the Wendy’s girl.
Thanks for the kind remark!
