"I have more respect for a man who let's me know where he stands even if he's wrong than a man who comes up like an angle and is nothing, but devil."

[julioshawtylean76]

Black or not this man was a real revolutionary.

[oelhayek]

great words from a great man

thanks for the vid

[dilbar09naz]

RIP!! 47 years ago he was assassinated on this day!! May Allah grant him heaven!!!

[mozadek1]

@dilbar09naz

Fuck Mohammed, and the Most High's name IS NOT Allah, Allah only mean Powers.

Leave that gutter religion to the Ishmaelites, Malcolm was an Israelite!

[AkilB7]

I absolutely love this man! RIP

[JACKSONVILLE1200]

100% relevant to today WOW. That's how the white man operates even today he will smile in your face but want you DEAD WOW

[sahinduezguen]

''I have more respect for a man who lets me know where he stands, even if he's wrong. Than the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil.''

RIP MALCOLM

[AkilB7]

@sahinduezguen That is one of the truest quotes ever. That man was the truth. RIP

[BeautifulBlackMind]

One of my favorite Malcolm X speeches

[wehaveasituation]

To say this was a friendly room is an understatement. He's not even aware of the basic design of a real debate, let alone the rules or skills. He's a popular figure of the times invited to Oxford to deliver the sort of S&M the British so crave. He's able top score unlimited points because the system he's assailing is in fact as decrepit and corrupt as he insists. Too bad he's fronting for a bogus religion and a pedophile gang leader--who will within the year have him whacked.

[SolidGold1980]

holy crap, he sounds just like denzel washington

[Extraexclamation]

@SolidGold1980 or denzel washington sounds just like him ?

[DJFACES]

It's amazing how articulate and brilliant this speech was for it to made back in the 60s. Malcolm's over whelming presence posed a threat to the powers of the government and the NOI. Malcolm was the boldest and bravest speaker of all time. No one comes close.

[gooribinghai]

Malcom Little AKA X was one of most deadlist speakers/oratators i ever heard!!

[gooribinghai]

@selenadelos with you as a Goori Binghai Biripai Dhungutti 1st nations of Australia Malcom Little certainly 1 of most inspiring spirits ive ever heard

[mssquirrely]

Right On Malcolm!! I too have more respect for a man who lets me know where he stands even if he's wrong, then the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a DEVIL.....Ouuuu it doesn't get more blunt than that !

[adelle0001]

nice one! thanks for this video!

[gurmad911]

The conclusion is arrogantly denied and ignored up this day... democracy in vain, it's funny when you think of "change you can believe in 2008" in the irony of it's contrast to the change that brother Malcolm X(rip) talked about in his many speeches. As long as we muted there will always be uncle tom's lobbyists & puppets, if you want some thing bad enough YOU ought to go get it, revolve by any means necessary or the rope gets tighter in time...

[CashCoolerJ]

Louis Lomax (real name of the fake profit Farrakkkhan) is a con-man and an idiot. The only reason the U.S Gov hasn't killed him is he is on their payroll. His Job: to keep stupid Black people asleep with his silly ass mumbo-jumbo! I hate him for ordering the killing of this brilliant wonderful man called Malcolm X. Thank you for this masterful post!

[TheHolyKaron]

Speak volumes.

[ricardofuego]

Proud to be a human being fighting for justice.

[jordan19822000]

Probably malcolms most significant speech abroad. You can just see the American governments desire to nuetralize malcolm becoming more critical. They kept a close watch on his travels overseas.

[rukkk]

when asked what is your greatest regret in life Mohammad Ali answered "disassociating myself from Malcolm"

[LenonHonorFilms]

Model Genius!

[321godson]

may allah bless his soul.. may he be one of the ones to enter jannah.. great human, wise and well spoken, mabye at times extreme, but always with and for a reason..till him i give only noam chompsky the same respect.. and some others.

[elderdxc]

It's amazing how well Denzel Washington got Malcolm X down. The voice, the mannerisms, perfect!

[GhettoHasGotTalent]

respect

[hustletv]

Brother X, we need you right now. The youth is LOST!

[getyoasshome]

@hustletv the youth are lost because their parents are lost...

[Shiftyeyes516]

BRILLIANT!

parts of this debate speach sounds like it could be in 2011. Unfortunately African American have lost there will and are so, so lost. I think only a few of us hear and understand Malcolm X.

In this 13 min speach he outline America's current political situation! Nothing has changed in 46 years.

[djamaluddin]

many thanks brother... keep up your hard work. salam

[oldhacks]

his shining moment on the hill. He was our first black president. Obama aint shit.

[Chery869]

I see why they didn't want him to live long…"Knowledge is Power"

[JusBlayze85]

can you imagine if he was still alive...

[evomr99]

great points

[LiteOfChange]

joyful, loving, caring, friendly, inspiring 

[LouisJulienne]

Malcolm X, social justice and human equality

[REGGAEBLESSEDDIRECT]

thanks for the upload

[cleanhomer]

The seniority system in Congress would explain why Washington politics are often more conservative than the rest of America, because the older are usually more conservative than the younger.

[bmorephasion]

He was so insighteful after his pilgramage to Mecca

[rasmussen418]

this is just fantastic

[BeAnBeAn22]

keep posting man

[xxSUMBLKGUYxx]

It's sad because things haven't changed at all in this country, that's why I call it Amerikkka.

[Uenbg]

@xxSUMBLKGUYxx yeah, ironic, the video I watched just before this was a video of a (I think white guy) getting attacked by police officers for videotaping them (the one where it says something about a broken nose in the title). The irony being that the US has a black president now.

Nothing has changed, it has just expanded beyond conceivable proportions.

[goodgooglegoo]

I NEVER KNEW .... until now ... how right Malcolm X was and is about so much - although I will always LOVE my enemies - for I know - there is a possibility for them to be changed. - I will not allow my enemy to gain access to my home or way of life.

THANK YOU for sharing this GREAT KNOWLEDGE of Malcolm X.

[GeorgeLRockwell87]

Funny how conservatives hate him when it sounds like he is preaching self-reliance and self-defense. I thought that that's what conservatives stood for? No matter, it is what I stand for.

[glrcmptn]

things haven't changed all that much.discovering malcolm is like turning a light on in a dark room.

[ncrewments]

antihostile.....this is a true gift. thank you.

[ITLMOVEMENT]

[KingOfEveryfing1000]

[mura430]

[tobeedetermined]

Sol relevant even now and brilliant. Thank you for uploading. It would be nice to see the entire debate on both sides.

[BG690]

"Liberty or Death"

[thepeacecat]

Timeless speech, just brilliant. We need each to be a modern malcolm x.
