MALCOLM X: The Bloodless Revolution

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

I would like to make a few comments concerning the difference between the black revolution and the Negro revolution. There's a difference. Are they both the same? And if they're not, what is the difference? What is the difference between a black revolution and a Negro revolution? First, what is a revolution? Sometimes I'm inclined to believe that many of our people are using this word "revolution" loosely, without taking careful consideration [of] what this word actually means, and what its historic characteristics are. When you study the historic nature of revolutions, the motive of a revolution, the objective of a revolution, and the result of a revolution, and the methods used in a revolution, you may change words. You may devise another program. You may change your goal and you may change your mind.

Look at the American Revolution in 1776. That revolution was for what? For land. Why did they want land? Independence. How was it carried out? Bloodshed. Number one, it was based on land, the basis of independence. And the only way they could get it was bloodshed. The French Revolution —— what was it based on? The land—less against the landlord. What was it for? Land. How did they get it? Bloodshed. Was no love lost; was no compromise; was no negotiation. I'm telling you, you don't know what a revolution is. 'Cause when you find out what it is, you'll get back in the alley; you'll get out of the way. The Russian Revolution —— what was it based on? Land. The land—less against the landlord. How did they bring it about? Bloodshed. You haven't got a revolution that doesn't involve bloodshed. And you're afraid to bleed. I said, you're afraid to bleed.

[As] long as the white man sent you to Korea, you bled. He sent you to Germany, you bled. He sent you to the South Pacific to fight the Japanese, you bled. You bleed for white people. But when it comes time to seeing your own churches being bombed and little black girls be murdered, you haven't got no blood. You bleed when the white man says bleed; you bite when the white man says bite; and you bark when the white man says bark. I hate to say this about us, but it's true. How are you going to be nonviolent in Mississippi, as violent as you were in Korea? How can you justify being nonviolent in Mississippi and Alabama, when your churches are being bombed, and your little girls are being murdered, and at the same time you're going to violent with Hitler, and Tojo, and somebody else that you don't even know?

If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad. If it's wrong to be violent defending black women and black children and black babies and black men, then it's wrong for America to draft us and make us violent abroad in defense of her. And if it is right for America to draft us, and teach us how to be violent in defense of her, then it is right for you and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our own people right here in this country.

And the chances of experiencing this type of insult are greatly reduced because you are the majority--the standard by which all else is judged by

Cont...as a group of fans we would hardly notice because on the surface no one readily sees a problem UNTIL it happens to you...that you are judged because of your color and not necessarily on your ability...that is the problem that persists for minorities especially black people AS A WHOLE in this country...it happened to me more than i would care to admit in 2011...so many white people say the same thing and ask the same questions but until it happens to you.....you will never understand

[ten2pat]

The only way whites would have an inkling of understanding is to look at a parallel-take for example the white pro athlete (the minority)--who probably has similar skills/abilities but because of long standing stereotypes can hardly even get a foot in the door...but as a

His words ring even truer today. America is an empire in decline.

We're living in the end of the Civil Rights movement! We must end racial discrimination for good! Blacks have come so far and they can put into perfection what their elders were fighting for. I believe in it because I'm white, but my human body still functions like any other human. The only thing different is our pigment and DNA (although we all have very similar DNA) but many others don't see it that way. Race is unfortunately a social reality and I don't understand why it still is.
