The Death Of Malcolm X

Malcolm X, dying on a stretcher, was literally paraded down the street to the "ambulance". A video and audio contemplation on the death of Malcolm X.
"This is why I say it's the ballot or the the bullet. It's liberty or it's death. It's freedom for everybody or freedom for nobody."

In May 1953, the FBI concluded that Malcolm X had an "asocial personality with paranoid trends (pre-psychotic paranoid schizophrenia)", and had, in fact, sought treatment for his disorder.

@childofthe70s2 Now you believe the FBI w/o question?

Malcolm x was a racist trouble maker. He threatened white people and riled up the blacks. Really it is just sad.

[orthiconghost]

@childofthe70s2 "Riled up the blacks"?? What is this? The south in the 1960s? That's an old race baiting saying from 50 years ago.

[orthiconghost]

@Distancian - As far as I know, only still photographers were present when Malcolm X was assassinated.

i am a 15 year old caucasian male and Malcolm is my favorite human being period. i live in a small town where i get hazed at school for being into the arts alot, malcolm is the one who helps me, whenever i think that like oh this sucks so much, i think of malcolm and everything he went through, and he he calmly dealt with his enemies, i have been told he was militant, but if he was so violent i i wouldn't be as passive as i am today. I love you bother malcolm thank you for everything.

I read the autobiography of Malcolm X, knowing little (no pun intended) about him for my AP English class that was deep in the teachings of black history. Many white people who don't know X too well will prejudge X as a very "militant" person. Yet, we as people are militant as well. Violence is brought open those who peacefully protest as well! We do not realize that, through certain acts of just-violence(violence used for protective reasons) it is a cause that leaves a memorable mark

@childofthe70s2 I guess you forgot about the history of Slavery. You point out when the victim speaks up yet you are quiet when ti comes to the oppressor

[michaelyouth]

@childofthe70s2 You either don't know anything about the oppression or don't want to know. Why was Malcolm X a troublemaker and a racist for pointing out the injustices they were facing.

[childofthe70s2]

@michaelyouth ok, you are talking about southern rednecks, and I have to agree they are an ignorant bunch. KKK is nothing but racist hillbilly rednecks. See. I grew up in the free state, Maryland, and there was none of that bullshit here. And things have changed, alot, since his time, surely you can see that.

[michaelyouth]

@childofthe70s2 You call Malcolm a racist trouble maker while the blacks were the ones being oppressed. The ones being lynched, raped, murdered, castrated, just for the difference of skin color. Malcolm was a trouble maker alright, for rednecks and hillbilly's, and racist bigots. He wanted to defend himself against a ruthless kind. It is complete logical, but you say he is a racist.

[childofthe70s2]

@michaelyouth Interesting, the way your mind works. Would I kill a dog what was attacking me? Of course, if I could. What's your point, and why am I a redneck????

[michaelyouth]

@childofthe70s2 You are the white racist trouble maker. If you were black in Malcolm's time, and to be honest I don't think much as changed, the racism is still in the hearts of people; they just are not that obvious about in anymore, but if you were black during Malcolm's time and a white man sent a dog on you, wouldn't you kill that dog, or like Malcolm said any two legged dog, who put the dog on you for having a different skin color. But I guess a redneck like yourself won't want to see this.

They were watching Martin Luther King, too. The government has a bigger hand in things then people think.
