Asalam aleykum, my brothers and sisters.
February 21st passed without anyone saying a single thing in memory of, more famously known as Malcolm X. He was one of the greatest people to ever walk the planet. Some people say he was too radical, I say MLK was a dreamer with no real connection to reality. “While King was having a dream, the rest of us Negroes are having a nightmare."
Malcolm X rose from extreme ideas of a black revolution to being accommodative of other cultures and races. In other words, he went to hell and came back a changed man.
In contrast to his earlier views, he encouraged blacks to vote, to participate in the political system, and to work with each other and with sympathetic whites and Hispanics for an end to racial discrimination. As he told a group of African leaders, the problem of race was "not a Negro problem, nor an American problem. This is a world problem, a problem of humanity."
So I personally think that he isn’t given the much deserved honour in history. And so I dedicate this blog to him.
“Sitting at the table doesn't make you a diner, unless you eat some of what's on that plate. Being here in America doesn't make you an American.”
Malcolm X (1925 - 1965)
Militant out.
