The Complete Malcolm X on DVD: http://malcolmxfiles.blogspot.com/

In an interview on Chicago TV with Jim Hurlbut, Malcolm X describes his early childhood and explains that his house was burned down by the Klan and that they murdered his father.

Mr. HURLBURT: You were born in Omaha, is that right?

MALCOLM X: Yes, sir.

Mr. HURLBURT: And you left -- your family left Omaha when you were about one year old?

MALCOLM X: I imagine about a year old.

Mr. HURBURT: And why did they leave Omaha?

MALCOLM X: Well, to my understanding the Ku Klux Klan burned one of their homes in Omaha. There's a lot of Ku Klux Klan--

Mr. HURLBURT: They made your family feel very unhappy, I'm sure.

MALCOLM X: Well, insecure, if not unhappy.

Mr. HURLBURT: So you must have a somewhat prejudiced point of view -- a personally prejudiced point of view. In other words, you cannot look at this in a broad, academic sort of way, really, can you?

MALCOLM X: I think that's incorrect, because despite the fact that that happened in Omaha and then when moved to Lansing, Michigan our home was burned down again -- in fact, my father was killed by the Ku Klux Klan, and despite all of that, no one was more thoroughly integrated with whites than I. No one has lived more so in the society of whites than I.

  • godamn bill oreilly sr give Malcolm a chance to speak. stop cutting him off and going on tangents

  • its unreal to think that this man grow up as a hustler and a drug dealer ... please read his autobiography.. it will change your life.

  • I can't help it - I'm white , but that doesn't diminish my respect and awe of Malcolm X one bit , and one can only invision the day when "race" is SO not an issue , that we could just be at peace with all colors of people !

  • @Filipcreate OK. I shall.

  • @apmirkin Pls tell me pm how it is, my friend.

  • @JamalDOA CORRECT! She was mixed, but was so light, she appeared to have white traits. i heard she dies about 2yrs after Malcolm x.. :(

  • @frogtastic1000 he is a genius.. he knew the future. he knows he could not have forced islam on people, but he could have mae the people understand islam and get black people on the road to positive futures and that way every race would have been a winner! :)

  • @npgfunk thats what a white politician does and so does the media. they are not interviewing him to get facts, they want to turn people against him, but malcolm is too sincere and honest in his heart.

  • @eastsidelocokid I notice every great back man that is genuine from america is advanced and has international wisdom. malcolm x, marting luther king and also michael jackson(even though jackson was slightly self righteous).

  • @Filipcreate it wasn't white people that murdered Malcolm my friend. It was the FBI and the NOI. More to do with Zionism and Elijah Mohammad. The US government knew in advance about it, but they also did with 9/11.

    Nation of Islam is a business. I can inbox you the long truth if you would like.
