[MOD CUT/flaming]

Anyway, Malcolm X was very good when it came to the self-esteem of black people, but a lot of the things he said were pretty ignorant - his entire take on the "house negro" was appalling, given the incredible amount of abuse house slaves had to deal with. This is another such situation - his plan to basically ignore politics and build communities is only half right. Community building is necessary, of course, but when you don't vote, you end up with idiots in power who waste time and money on pointless nonsense rather than aiding communities (see: the current GOP - led House, spending more time on needless hearings, and working to hinder economic growth).

Because I know which side you wanna ignore.
I know that you want to ignore the 'Uncle Tom' side of Malcolm .. I know that much!

They also fail to mention that This OP is: Clean, Articulate, Light-Skinned, and has no Negro Dialect!

(I don't post with a Negro dialect font either!)
