Malcolm X - Ballot or Bullet

Using intelligent grammar is not white, and Malcolm was one of the most intelligent orators that existed at that time. What does coming from the street have to do with staying in the street? Malcolm preached improvement of our race.  You hold yourself back by thinking being black means being poor and inferior. Don't discredit our brother Malcolm by saying he could not speak intelligently. I read his autobiography and it didn't sound anything like how you wrote above.

holy book references, lol, well i guess the main two would be holy bible and the quran, so if you need to read them for yourself than knock yourself out, and ppl need to get something straight, history is written by who? people, right? dont they have their own agenda in what they write, history has not been written accurate, therefor you must decide what you believe, not from any book someone else wrote, thats what they believe,you can only agree with it,slavery has changed shape over time

I never said that there was never servitude. However, give me some references for me to read where i can see for my self that slavery in other times were exactly as brutal as western form of slavery that was rooted in race. Therefore, i don't want your abstract "holy books long ago," WHICH ONES? I would like to read them myself and hear the description just as i can reference for what I am saying: slave trade by spears, from slavery to freedom by hope franklin and don't read the modern editions

they would just seek out and kill the first born son of every family, you also have to think that freedom of speech has come alot further over time, so there is more documentation provided on current events than long ago, and africans are still slicing open pregnant women to this day, cutting off breasts, and raping women, brutality is in human nature, it will not go away, looking for someone to blame will solve nothing, standing and fighting for yours will

slavery has been documented since the beginning of time, who built the pyramids in egypt and mexico? do you honestly believe they were treated better than black slaves in america? they were forced by fear to work as well, and treated as second class, the holy books of popular religion written long ago state this

Revolutions overturn systems. Unless the system is deep in you.....

The whole myth that Elijah and the Nation killed Malcolm was concocted to create a split between the Nation ala Farrakhan and other black freedom proponents. A friend of mine is a family friend of Malcolm's relatives. They are all sure that the FBI killed Malcolm as they hounded him during his last days. "Friends.....and I even see some enemies." Peace bro. Freedom for all or freedom for nobody

Point made now elaborate on the ignorance of the oppressor. This is an ignorance that the world is disconnected from unless 1 speaks of petty racist or prejudice jokes. Please elaborate....

true, there are some who wield such things as weapons, but more than anything, I think most people these days are simply oppressing themselves. In a day & age when even a bum can go into a library and gain access to a the internet (or just do it the old fashioned way and actually read a book) there really is no excuse for blind stupidity.

That being said, perhaps it is a sort of fundamental ignorance that compels one to become the oppressor in the first place... Ignorance begetting ignorance

Ignorance is not the oppressor, it is only of the many tools or weapons of the oppressor. Moral of the story is the saga continues, there are many different circumstances that much be handled in a well thought manner. Please be mindful of that..
