Current Events > We need a national holiday for Malcolm X

(+) Yeah! (+)

Why some white people still hate him is beyond me.
---

Maybe because he said Kill whitey?

MLK Day same person pretty much

Then he went to Mecca. I dont blame him at the time either. You cant control someones reaction when youre getting oppressed and treated like literal dogs.

Bump

White guy here and I agree.

Malcolm X the GOAT

I don't really like the idea of holidays for individuals, no matter how important.

Anyway..no no we definitely shouldnt have a Malcom X day.

We have MLK Day who was a better person and leader than Mr. X

Fine, then turn MLK day into "Important Black Leaders" day and they can share it. If Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln can all share "President's Day" then once day's good enough for those two guys as well.

As a reaction to the constant racial injustice that he and Black people were facing back then. That would make anyone jaded.

And as mentioned, he changed after he went to Mecca.

Lol and what should i do to prove that Im black as fuck

We do, its called February.
---

He preached the 2Aer fantasy of fighting the government due to oppression. Don't know why people hate him so much.
---

Probably because he was blatantly racist and called for white people to die.

ITT a bunch of triggered white snowflakes who choose to remain triggered and uneducated instead of just reading the mans autobiography.
---

I mean, are we gonna get off of work for it or is it just going to fall into the heap of Columbus Day, Earth Day and all those other lame holidays that you don't think about until someone says "hey guess what today is ____ Day" and you just kinda shrug and rhetorically ask if you can be invited to their party?

And yes, this also included Black people being killed just because they were Black.

Injustice on your race doesn't justify calling for injustice on another race which is why MLK is far more liked. He stood proudly despite the way he and his race were treated.
---

How about we just make Juneteenth a national holiday instead.

At that time. Deservedly so. They treated us like animals. Fuck out of here.

At no point in time does a race deserve to die. Grow up and also shut up.

Nope. He changed way too late. Most of his legacy is militant and separatist and violent.

Nah. Youre right. Not all. But to those people who did oppress us, they did deserve to die.

How was he supposed to know that he was going to get gunned down so soon?
---

But only if they were white right? Malcolm X pretty much did the same thing.

You know it's honestly sad. We do everything to honor MLK and his teachings yet the messages of Malcolm X and Marcus Garvey live on instead of the man that actually united us and led the fight that brought equal opportunity to all of us regardless of color, gender, or religion.

The same powers that assassinated MLK are the same powers that indoctrinate our nation's youth to hate each other. Malcolm X was no different than Barry Goldwater and Kevin Phillips.

I think MLK and the others all had a part to play in the civil Rights.

Yes deserve to die and I hope they burn in Hell!!

Seriously though, considering that he was fighting the power structure and that the power structure intentionally had a racial slant to it, of course, he would suggest that. Still, the notion that he was suggesting genocide is ridiculous.

Yup

Oh because Malcom set the segregation laws and had the government against white huh

I like how white people are like "Well yeah he had to endure blatant systemic oppression his entire life....but he should have been nicer to those people that were oppressing him!"

FOH. As if you wouldn't be jaded and angry as fuck if you had to endure 1/10th of that shit.

Tell that to MLK. Maybe you just don't understand why ppl respect MLK. Malcolm X was basically a black klansman.

Right. I guess the appropriate response to the intimidation and savage violence by the local and state governments as well as the terrorism by the KKK at the time is to go "Oh well...I'm not going to tell my people to protect themselves in self defense. Hopefully white folks will come to their senses and realize this treatment of negroes is wrong."

MLK was beginning to change near the end. He famously stated that he believed that he may have led his people into a burning house.

And to say that Malcom X was a black klansman is ignorance on steroids.

He was and thats why only certain ppl respect him. MLK never had to "change" and much wiser than X.

MLK was considered divisive in his time too, or are we forgetting that he was also assassinated?

He was killed for pushing equality not because he wanted to wage a race war.

Yeah, that's ignorant and shows that you don't know much about either man. Malcolm X preached self defense even at the height of his militancy. He never told people to bomb churches or burn crosses or crescent moons on their yards or any of the other things that the KKK did regularly during that time.
---

It's weird to somehow compare Malcolm X to a clansman. That's just plain wrong.
