Let's think about that for a minute.
Malcolm X is an important figure in black history. Just because he was flawed doesn't mean he should not be studied. A compare and contrast against MLK is a good lesson. No?
Do you think he should be deleted from the history books? I think it would be a flaw in education not to have learned about him and his movement.

No public school in America should teach about someone who advocated black supremacy, racial separation and violence to achieve political ends.

Unless such a person is portrayed in a negative manner.

Inthat case during liberation of 1776 there was white supremacy, racial separation, slavery and violence to attain frredom too. Shall we stop teaching it?

I don’t know what classrooms you are sitting in.
Gains by blacks are seen as threatening to me?! Out comes another liberal saying racist!! (Sort of proves my point.)

No, I am opposed to going so overboard to favor blacks over whites, in those instances where whites are better qualified for whatever it happens to be.

I believe Malcolm X was a proponent of violence to achieve one’s goals. We should not be setting him up as someone to admire in any way.

I'm sick of everyone, liberal whites and non-whites both, favoring non-whites over whites. Democrats even favor illegal aliens, muslim terrorist and Chinese spies over whites lol. It sounds like exaggeration but it really isn't.

Sorry.
Slaves
The Klan
Executive Order 9066
Jim Crow
trying to overturn Brown vs Board of Education Topeka
Voting in a lower percentage for all 4 Civil rights Acts
George Wallace would have been the candidate if he didn't get shot

Racism is owned by the Democrats.

Sorry.

The other poster didnt call you racist. She said “ may be you are threatened by blavks progressing” . And you play your victim card and call her racist.
It would be more accurate to say the poster was threatened by blacks. 592,000 cases of violent inter racial crime excluding homicides between blacks and whites and it's 90% black on white. Up from 85%. Tell me where the problem is?

hint- it's not genetics. People who are raised properly know the correct answer.

Agreed. Blacks fail the law boards test at 3-4 times the normal rate. Is it genetics or the fact that they are admitted even though they are less qualified?
