@Jaden2 @gennisaisquoi Malcolm's rebirth as a political figure was integrally tied in with joining Nation of Islam, then getting thrown out and visiting Mecca, where he encounters a far less, shall we say, idiosyncratic version on Islam. But Malcolm truly became dangerous to the White establishment when he returned from Mecca and started talking about liberation and brotherhood across racial barriers (see also why the US government murdered Fred Hampton). Nothing is more dangerous to White supremacy than a charismatic figure who can bring people of all different kinds together as brothers and sisters to fight for our collective freedom. It's why the emphasis in the US, particularly for propaganda purposes, is always on individual freedom as being more important than collective freedom.

White friends: Reflect

"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or KKK, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice. Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will." #MLK

Hello, readers, Back in November, I wrote a piece explaining my key takeaway from the midterms: the press is out of touch with the public.
