The truth hurts.

The first time I ever heard “ house and field” about blacks was in NC....by blacks.

[nickcarraway]

Of course, I don’t think it’s something whites would talk about.

[Jamestown1630]

I think the speech “Message to the Grass Roots” by Malcolm X was public, and not ‘behind closed doors’.

[workerbee]

Why the outrage? As I recall, blacks were very comfortable calling Condoleeza and Colin “house n-——s”.

[Migraine]

In real time, the terminology was NEVER “house slave” or “field slave”. The “slave” part was always a different word.

[the OlLine Rebel]

As an aside….look at the bastardizarion of speech in this piece.

Of course, capitalizing black, and using “AA” you know darn well that isn’t what Malcolm X Said.

But we can’t even say “slavery in the US” now.

Now apparently it must be “ENSLAVEMENT” in the US. Good God.

[Chicory]

I think Winters, a la Malcolm X, was calling the “house slaves” sycophants.

[frank ballenger]

You are right (as usual).

His Message to the Grass Roots speech was delivered on November 10, 1963, at the Northern Negro Grass Roots Leadership Conference, which was held at King Solomon Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan.

I got a political science degree at Wayne State University and often used to park on the street where he gave that speech. At that time it was the university with the highest percentage of black students outside of “Historically Black Colleges and Universities” which is a term used a lot.

[ComputerGuy]

I know exactly what he meant. A caste system existed among the enslaved along with the envy and friction that were the natural consequences.

[RoseofTexas]

Well just remember what dementia Joe told the black community you ain’t black if you don’t vote for me! See how easy it is to dispel this bullshit!

[ifinnegan]

“ No one’s being called a slave. It’s using an analogy…”

It’s insane that that has to be explained.

[Dr. Sivana]

Of course, capitalizing black, and using “AA” you know darn well that isn’t what Malcolm X Said.

No, he used the then current "field Negro" and "house Negro". Malcolm X called them as he saw them. He was a work in progress when he got assassinated. Black Elk (R.I.P.) told me that when he went to Mecca, and saw all the fair skinned people praying to Allah, he started to rethink some of his attitudes. Then he was assassinated.

Malcolm X was his own man, and didn't have use for the welfare state. He wouldn't be an ally, but he wouldn't necessarily ally himself with our worst enemies.

[Steely Tom]

He got shot behind closed doors though.

The counterrevolution will not be televised.

[Rdct29]

More fake outrage by the white whining class. A black man says something that's not racist and the white crybaby class screams racist. Black people don't need white clowns to tell them what's racist. I would go further and say that the Kamala voters from all races are dumb. They don't have the slightest bit of curiosity about Kamala Harris. If they did a little research they would see that she's not black, she is a communist and she's not very bright. Those are facts that are easy to find

[Jamestown1630]

Has the Mother Ship come for old Farrakhan yet?

[FlingWingFlyer]

So what. Guilty conscience, ass-kissing crackers are voting for Walz and Harriz.

[Steely Tom]

The Mother Wheel.

[dp0622]

I’m a field Italian :)

Malcolm X had a lot of quotes that would be banned today.

He was the one black leader I respected—called them as he saw them and refused to obey white leftist commands.
