Malcolm X Interview on "City Desk" in Chicago (Rare Color Footage)

[liquidhot9]

The problem with black identity (w/o the obvious fact of being stripped of it for many, many years) is that black people would have to be held accountable for their actions. It would call upon putting energy into themselves and their own first and that would be a problem for black men who want to be with everyone else's woman. That is a conflict.

[bestfilmdirectors]

@liquidhot9 Actually I disagree...Black identity doesn't have anything to with being with women of other races. In fact, Before the Slave trade and downfall of the Black Empires in Africa and around the world. Black people were with other races still... And it was accepted.. There's only one race the Human race. All races has one source..

[ZionistCensorship]

malcom is right. blacks and whites should not live together

[sheltv100]

@ZionistCensorship If that is what you believe, the USA should have no right to exist either. If the USA should get hit with another terrorist attack I would not even shed a tear.

[Amy369ify]

dam. malcolm x is fiiiine XD

[waffiki]

makes me proud to watch him, this is a real black man. the voice, the grace, the knowledge.

[lilhavin]

I would have loved to see more of this. Malcolm X is THE MAN! This clearly shows how educated he was.

[zQween45]

Awesome job antihostile, thank you!

[andrebugz]

' who calls him self Malcom X " as if thats not a bonafide name, probably cos it dosent sound like a typical white / slave name. FUCKING CRACKERS !

[ANTHONYwasnthere]

@andrebugz X isnt a "bonafide" name. Its a name he gave himself becasue his origional name, Little, was the name given to his family by the white owners of his ancestors. So yes, he named himself X becasue it is obviously not a slave name. He chose X specifically because in math X is the variable, the unknown, so it is a statement about his origion and culture being unknown.

[honeyisaac]

whats funny is that

the white guy doesnt find the word "negro" offensive to the black people. how dumb can he be.lol

RIP Malcolm X (badass name) and King Jr

[ANTHONYwasnthere]

@honeyisaac Its obviously offensive but it was a much different time back then. He's not dumb, it was just a common thing. Doesn't make it right though.

[natsmythe]

OH MY GOD, TENSIONS TOO THICK IN THIS ROOM-- HOLD YOUR OWN MY BROTHAH!

[s5251]

RIP Malcom X, what a smart guy and he remind me of Barak Obama today.

[pretor92]

@s5251 lol

[theAJview]

@s5251 barack obama is the most unjustly black man on earth. he hates muslim and jesus. just look it up my friend. obama is a puppet. malcolm X was a free man, thats why malcolm died, and its why barack obama is still alive

[ANTHONYwasnthere]

@theAJview What the fuck are you talking about?

[trinitysnp]

Seems like Negroes back then were being guided like water. Put two main leaders in the public eye and manipulate the Negroes. What was the result? Seemed like a game back then as much as it seems like one today.

[ANTHONYwasnthere]

@trinitysnp How is it manipulation?

[trinitysnp]

@ANTHONYwasnthere That was 7 months ago! Ask me 7 months from now and I would have something different to say!  lol I just keep learning more every day and pray to be better each day. Really, that was probably out of my desire to live right. I know I am not the only one. Most people if not all don't want to be manipulated.

[pele11201]

The original Black American intellectual! Most black public figures today are nothing more than puppets and robots controlled by corporate dollars!

[clarkkent51]

This day, 2-21-2010, commemorates the demise of , Malcolm X. My introduction to him was when I walked into a bookstore at the age of 15.

And on the shelf, was a book with a black cover, slashed with a bloody ,X. It pulled at me.

I read the book several times, fascinated by this man's mental evolution from an ex-con to one who became feared, loved & respected world-wide.

His legacy will never die; may peace be upon, Malcolm X.

[odinheim]

Viva Malcolm X

Viva nuestro comandante Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías

[clarkkent51]

@odinheim ,

Denada, mi amigo.

[odinheim]

Gracias , es importante señalar a nustros en USA que nosotros no estamos en contra del pueblo si no encontra el imperio yanqui

[BGMgroup]

@clarkkent51 yes! the reason he was killed...because of his growing international popoularity...he was about to elevate civil rights to HUMAN rights...one has to study his whole life to understand the impact he was about to have on international policy in the United States..He was about to bring the US against the World court for crimes against African Americans.

[clarkkent51]

@BGMgroup ,

Malcolm was prepared to address the U.N. with his grievences against this govt. His actions would have been an embarrassment to the U.S., since they were preaching human rights for those in Eastern Europe, while the Amer. Blacks were denied their Constitutional rights.. Hypocrites to the ump degree.

[ANTHONYwasnthere]

@BGMgroup That and he fell out of the good graces with the honorable Elijah Muhammad when he discovered Muhammad was breaking his own rules. He was turned into the enemy after that.

[Nabid777]

whos the interviews in this video?

[clavie05]

He sound like Obama ...

[YungAceDC]

@clavie05 no Obama sounds Like Him lol

[powerball14222]

R I P Malcolm. Thank you for everything!!!

[1chichimec1]

well, "Somebody" assassinated M.L.K., MALCOLM X, J.F.K., JIMMY HOFFA, &countless others whose deaths have never been sloved and/or minimized??? + the fact is that the black majority,'still' lives in abject poverty?

[TBlake34]

Haha, nothing ever changes.

Malcom sitting across the table from three white dudes defending the status quo (and a "moderator").

During the build up to war the network and cable news shows demanded that at least 2 war supporters be present for every critic.

Established power structures don't share the mic willingly.

[peasah2005]

Brother Malcolm wasn't scared in that debate with those demonic shits that included that fatso, Bull O'Connor.

Brother Malcolm was so electricfying and he knew how to stand and to be firm.

Those devils couldn't go a mile with him and that shows the courage and the intelligence of Brother Malcolm X.

[celnaz]

How do you feel about all those brothers out there who go with White women?.

[SithLordNefaar022]

hell this video right here spells it out for you that Malcolm was no racist... all the white people crying malcolm's a racist should see this here so they can STFU....

[BethinTexas111]

He is too racist, like you would admit if he was lol OMG....I have many black friends, and they have all adnitted to me he really is!!!!!!

[SithLordNefaar022]

on 1 count you're dead wrong ANY1 i perceive as racist ill call them out as such regardless of his skin color... malcolm simply was not tough luck sweety =)

no.2 that is a primitive defense mechanism in your brain trying to make sense of what he's saying... smh

you and your "black friends" should read his auto biography be4 u flap your gums that

way you can truly understand where he's

coming from in this shameful time in American history like they actually know the truth educate urself plz

[Ihateironman]

While Mr.El-Shabazz (as he chose to be known after his split with the NOI) did advocate complete segregation early in his life which most would agree is a racist stance, he renounced many of those views after his split from the nation of Islam.

[SithLordNefaar022]

Yes any form of segregation is racist stance, especially in the U.S. which is the most culturally diverse place on the planet, separation is practically impossible. But

you need to realize WHY he came to that conclusion:

that is because at the time the gov't was very quick to preach they want to integrate and if it was the land it would be done since the govt was so sluggish to do this he thought they were bs so his P.O.V. was "we should separate since it seems they don't wanna integrate"

[JumanahCupcake]

Oh enshallah we'll meet in heaven :)

And how did he die ? did he get shot ?

i remimber watching the movie but it was along time ago !

[Elementer117]

He had the "Umm" thing like Obama does.

[abola2121]

Hereditary traits perhaps?

h t t p://sparkoflifemedia. com/?p=248

[rainbow1892]

such a bright mind!!!

[MisterUrl]

To EyeLean5280: Where in this video were white people "downright rude to him"?

Also: The word Negro derives from Latin NIGER, meaning BLACK. Wikipedia says "Negro is a term referring to people of Black ancestry. Prior to the shift in the lexicon of American & worldwide classification of race &ethnicity in the late 1960s, the appellation was accepted as a normal completely neutral formal term both by those of Black African ... as well as those of non-African black descent."

[lamja00]

We need shows like this on TV now!

[Jrobinson2009]

i couldn't agree more

[clyburt20]

Blak people learn too servive in the jungle wth the wild beast of the field... May God Bless U All... Peace!@

[clyburt20]

The white-man has a history of mistreating, raping, killing and kidnappin the blak race of people which is clear as day how can any ... dispute wth tht... ths hs wnt on fr several hundred of years 'til ths day the white-race of people camouflage their hate, some r quite open wth it...

[rakkfatha]

The King

[jaali99]

Truly he was a hero.

[OLDNO1104]

Al Humdulillah may Allah(swt) grant him paradise Ameen. Our black prince...

INSHA2ALLAH AMEEN

[PrinceNoirAmericain]

That's deep

[sunryse1]

Barack Obama reminds me of him.  I mean literally. Voice, physical characteristics, everything.

[EyeLean5280]

Yes, they are both tall, trim and highly intelligent and articulate. They both come off as self-possessed, self-contained and unflappable. They both have long, handsome faces and controlled, "civilized" mannerisms.

It's a terrible shame, what happened to Malcolm.

[RayhanC]

LOL obama is nuthing compared to this man!

[warbucks00]

AMEEN

[Kadeem2Islam]

Al Humdulillah may Allah(swt) grant him paradise Ameen. Our black prince...

[rmyCHI]

Whats really funny is how they try to make Malcolm look stupid & contradict himself(especially O'connor..you can just sense his dismay, animosity & hostility toward Malcolm the whole interview) and how he evades every trap so eloquently....I dont agree with everything that Malcolm says but I dont think in my personal opinion it was a more articulate REAL, INTELLIGENT & well spoken brother in that time as Malcolm who relayed the true feelings of blacks at that time as well as he did

[EyeLean5280]

What strikes me is how free so many white people felt to be downright rude to him.

True, he's not entirely honest here about the philosophy of black supremacy. But they could call him on that without behaving so badly toward him.

And of course it backfires on them - he comes off looking so much better than them.

[mafjr16]

whats funny is

he smart as shit

why cant our rappers and regular kids be this way

damn parents

i blame my self and the parents

[SpearMaster]

Hey, that's not all of us. Look at me. I'm 18 and looking to start a REAL Black Nationalism organization. Then you have hip-hop artist like Talib, Common, Nas, Immortal Technique, dead prez and others to bring knowledge.

[mafjr16]

well if its not you my brother then i am not talking bout you

dont take offense

[Jrobinson2009]

i do too... the past creates the future

[zeesh1989]

@mafjr16 the smart rappers are all underground they dont get airplay cause society wants to keep the kids ignorant

[BJMIXTAPES4LIFE]

@zeesh1989 true that society only shows dumb fucks like gucci mane and those kind of clowns

[jg025]

@mafjr16 you gotta blame the kids too... most of the parents are kids..

[mafjr16]

@jg025 haha right

[fightourfuture]

@mafjr16 that's because he's Muslim, got married, had kids AFTER getting married, and isn't a dumbass like most black people today. He would be ashamed if he were alive today.

[mafjr16]

@fightourfuture true ish

[SuperMuslimas]

@mafjr16:It has been 2years since you have posted your comment.Hopefully,Malcolm was a great example for you & you have done something to be like him.He changed many peoples' lives(including mine).If you haven't straitened your path,than it is not too late.Islam stands for education and brotherhood of ppl regardless of race and social class.Islam changed Malcolm from a street hustler to the honest,brave,educated,& loving person.Please,ask our black Muslim brothers for your own knowledge.

[mafjr16]

@SuperMuslimas you are absolutely right. That's why I started my own group with in my society. This group has been up and runnung since 06 which is when I started middle school. was the purpose of saying I posted a comment 2 years ago to note that I should have progressed within this time frame. I can't tell you I can only show. For talking is a way of manifestation and procrastination if you don't mean what you say so L.U.R.O W.A.N.T.E.D will provide you with any results passed expectation.

[izaytyree]

@mafjr16 our rappers and regular kids can be like this if they educate them selves farther like uummm maybe memorize a whole dictionary as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (malcolm x) did..BUT me being a child and attending high school I witness kids falling asleep in class and not doing any class work 1st hand..so the parents are not even at fault..you cant blame the parents because they have lazy children

[athenalong]

@izaytyree - Oh yes you CAN blame the parents for their falling asleep... SOMETHING has allowed for that to occur... Either 1- their 'parents' don't make them go to sleep to get enough rest to be alert and prepared, or 2 - they AREN'T SCARED ENOUGH to not fall asleep in class, regardless of their being sleepy. My dad WAS NOT playing. I knew my position and I played it, because Pops wasn't having it. PARENTS ARE TO BLAME.

[TheRiobezerko]

@mafjr16 Yes, Malcolm was brilliant, as is Obama today. Black kids need to stop listening to all that garbage and educate themselves for advancement.

[TheRiobezerko]

@xbcnfujv drugs and alcohol...what? You did not provide a complete thought.

[Slayton701]

@TheRiobezerko -- Obama is no where as near as smart as Malcolm x . two totally different

people but giving credit Obama is highly intelligent. but as much as Malcolm not a chance

thats just being honest. factor in the time period and his previous lifestyle ( prison ) Malcolm was

light years ahead, he was a leader for injustice & life teacher for knowledge of one self.

[TheRiobezerko]

@Slayton701 Thanks for attempting to "inform me", but I COMPLETELY disagree. I have my thoughts on the issue and stated what I wanted to state already.

[aldamon]

@mafjr16 trust me 2pac is really smart aswell you should watch and interview of him

[nickvanzetti]

el haij malik el shabazz

[shaq2099]

I love this interview and the other parts that antihostile uploaded before. Is this whole broadcast available anywhere?

[MisterKuang]

yeah just look up, "malcolmx commentary analysis noi foi" on Youtube.

[zsoahlaeiebm]

Malcolm X (El Shabazz El Malik El Hajj) was a great man may God bless his soul
