Malcom-X by himself :

---------------------------------------------
And you dare to call me coloured...

"When I'm born I'm Black, when I grow up I'm Black, when I'm in the cold I'm Black, when I'm in the sun I'm Black, when I'm sick I'm Black, when I die I'm Black. And you... When you're born you're Pink, when you grow up you're White, when you're in the cold you're Blue, when you're in the sun Red, when you're sick you're Green, when you die you're Purple. And you dare to call ME a coloured....".

Malcolm X always has good speeches and even revealed how society was curropted

Well Malcom X was a racist.

He on his day of death, got what he diserved, it's a shame others more just, were punished with him. Such as Martin Luther King Jr.

The difference between King, and Malcom are explicitly expressed here.

Malcom fought to make the black man less hated, by pointing the finger of blame to the whites, by calling them names and stereotyping them.

King never once, sterotyped a White man. He wanted to bring both together.

I have tremendous respect for King....but Malcolm X incited blame and hate. He had a gift for twisting things around, but was nowhere near the man MLK was....

If you look at X's speeches after he completed his trip to Mecca, you'll see he was enlighten by it and he changed his tones about race relations. Sadly he was shoot soon after. He didn't die a racist.

After the Mecca trip he realized that it's not just the white man because in the trip there was also white muslims. he was just misled by Elijah because he grew up engulfed with oppression and most of them were white.Malcolm changed his ways after Mecca too bad he died that way

Nans Didn't MalcolmX Got Assassinated in 1965?
it wasn't 1961.

MA, you are correct, Feb. 21, 1965.

Martin Luther King, Jr was not half the man was Malcolm was. MLK was a fake and a puppet of the white man.

MLK feared Malcolm, he publicly announced how he was afraid to meet Malcolm publicly because he feared his debating skills. Yea they met, only for like 5 minutes. Malcolm X was right when he called Martin an Uncle Tom Negro. I have ZERO respect for MLK and I think lesser of his message.

What Martin did was praise the white man making him look like the good guy and he made the blacks look like the bad guy. Blacks would be lynched, shot, and burned and Martin would praise them for it, calling for unity. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo, that's unacceptable. Malcolm was not afraid, he came out and said what what was needed to be said and he was right.

Malcolm X did not die a racist. This is the most important thing to know about Malcolm. And of course, the FBI told Martin of Malcolm's assassination and he did nothing. Hence, the reason why Martin cancelled on Malcolm. Yes, Martin was going to open for Malcolm on that fateful day.

I am offically sick at the statements made on this post. I expected that ignorant sh*t from Hammerite/freemason/the master racist punk a** but ill you really supprised me. Both of them died for us. Can't you see that?!?!?

Lets these men rest in peace. You all should be ashamed for such slander.

Morbid, if Malcom changed his hateful ways after his Haj, then he's redeemed himself.

I will not support the violent racist he was before his change but at least he saw the light as King saw it, before he went.

Martin didn't speak for me and he definetely did not die for me.

I support Malcolm X the most because he was talking about the gospel movement and it was true. how can it be a revolution with speeches I have a dream,hold hands and jump around playing guitars and singing?a revolution is towards anger and Action.
and Malcolm X also started Muslim Mosque Inc. for the African American ppl to defend themselves from the white people that started fights and workshops about the religion of Islam.
If Malcolm X wouldn't stand up like that,then who will?
he inspired the Black Panthers.and the Black Panthers made alot of difference to the community.
so to Malcolm X I look up more to

It doesnt get any realer than that ladies and gentleman.
