MALCOM X

MALCOM X THE TRUE HERO OF AFRICAN AMERICANS.
WITH HIS LONG-TERM VISION BEING DISTORTED BY MARTIN LUTHER KING.JR, AND HIS DISIPLES OF
MASS DISTRUCTION OF THE GOOD BLACK PEOPLE LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES AND PERSONS EVERY
WHERE.
Malcom X and his contribution to the world.
Malcom X born Malcom Little was a very deviant youth with a criminal out look on life in
his young years. Then when he was locked up for robbery in prison some time he had a
revelation always knowing that the treatment of black folks back then was just criminal
injustice. His father introduced him to Marcus Garvy and his back to Africa
philosophies.
While in prison he was introduced to a black version of the Muslim religion. It was his
sort of say initiation into real manhood and becoming responsible for his actions. While
in prison he wrote out the dictionary by hand for the sole purpose of learning to use the
same tools that the same people in power were using to distort things to their will.
Malcom X bought things a little further and was far more dangerous to civil rights
leaders than he was to the establishment. I think that Malcom X was far more respected
than MLK. 
Malcom X's basic philosophy was lets clean up our own communities no government help, No
welfare, no interference from groups other than the black folks themselves. He was for
black owned schools, black owned businesses, black owned towns, etc. He saw that we were
basically not going to go anywhere taking hand outs from the same people who oppressed us
for years.
He was not a person who was all talk, on a meager salary he set up organizations in the
black communities like Muslim school where children learned to speak some of known
African languages. He set up an area of black owned businesses.
There are some of his predictions, which have come true for the black people in the
United States. Like he knew that the civil right leaders were not going to change a damn
thing for black people he says that they can't possibly do anything with the help of a
government that oppressed you in the first place, and that these civil leaders will of
course be held in high regard because they are not proposing that black people get off
their asses and make something of themselves. They would rather give out money to a
select few to show that there is a fairness in the system.
In one of his speeches he directly point out the fallusies." For the past fifteen years
the struggle of the Black man in this country was labeled as a civil rights struggle, and
as such it remained completely within the jurisdiction of the United States. You and I
could get no kind of benefits whatsoever other than that which would be forthcoming from
Washington D.C. Which meant, in order for it to be forthcoming from Washington, D.C., all
of the congressmen and the senators would have to agree to it."
At that time the most powerful congressmen and the most powerful senators were from the
south. Most of the Black people were enslaved in the south. So in other words civil right
leaders were asking the same persons who would not let them vote, for privileges, which
were never really given.
He would constantly refer to the civil right leaders as uncle toms. He never said that
directly to a newspaper, but you knew whom he was talking about. Especially when he was
in a debate with them.
An Uncle Tom is the as the slaves see it. Is the person in the Masters house, he told on
the other slaves just to please his master and did nothing that would lead one to believe
that he had any self-respect for himself. I guess that it was a way to deal with the
stress of being a slave. Persons like that get publicly killed in Africa for doing the
same thing, but my point being that they did every thing to please the master and even
lived in the masters own house. He would answer the master by saying, "how our WE doing
today?" and "is WE sick master?"
Malcom X did not get up and say. "I have a dream where all people black and white can
ride on the bus together". He said, "I want to see my people as being productive citizens
contributing real values to this world". Malcom was not a racist, but he did stress by
any means necessary, to bring about a positive change for his people and for all people
oppressed every where.
The media portrays Malcom X in a very different light than which he is usually seen from
his own people. Typically, MLK receives greater and more sympathetic attention, but in
one of their meetings MLK appeared to be helpless against MalcomX's arguments. You could
see that MLK was no match for Malcom. It seemed at times that you could see that King
miniscule in Malcom's presence. That it almost made him look like that was King's daddy
telling him what to do.
Malcom X during that meeting submitted the following premise that it is no wonder that
King received the Nobel Peace Prize When MLK's ideas are easily to be accepted by whites
without any sense of moral obligation. I don't believe he was jealous of MLK. I believe
he really had a job to do. 
Most people think of Malcom X as being a bad evil man. That's what my own family taught
me when I was growing up. Seeing that most of my family was from the south and that the
only thing you were allowed to do was pray to their to a Christian god. Only a few wanted
to take action. Fighting against the master was beaten out of them. It did not cross
their minds.
All of Malcom's predictions have come true especially the condition of black people in
this country. Uneducated high death rates, and no work ethic. He would have nothing to do
with MLK now if he were alive today. MLK would not be sitting on his ass collecting a
paycheck for doing nothing.
Malcom X was a good father and set good examples for his children and others. He did not
smoke and he did not cheat on his wife. I think he was truly focused on his mission of
helping his people to over come this tyranny. He was not just thinking of himself.
I think that people of today forget that it was only 40years ago that they had white only
water fountains and blacks could not ride in the front of busses. Most important is that
being black we are still in the same conditions that we are in when we left the
plantations. That from Malcom's point of view we need to do a lot more work on each
other, and that we have to get rid of the true oppressors of the black people. Them
so-called civil rights leaders, I would like to say that it is not because of our
oppressors that we are still in this bad state. That it was our own people who sold us
out.
My hero truly being Malcom X. He will one day sit upon that seat of famous people like
Albert Einstein, Mozart, Michael Angelo, and so on. Because he was ahead of his time. In
this corrupt world all the wrong heroes are put forth to the public. One day after all
these evil people disappear. We will see who were the true heroes of this century, the
true contributors.
