Another grand quote, Cha.

Agreed, RIP

Thanks for posting

Malcolm was 100% correct

After his trip to Mecca in April 1964, he realized he'd made a lot of mistakes in how he did things originally; he turned away from the racism of the Nation of Islam, and sought to become a true egalitarian.....and that was something that truly terrified TPTB, just as MLK's turn to socialist ideas would not long afterwards.

R.I.P. Malcolm X-a man who erred, but also a man who redeemed himself, and was cut down too soon.

Inspirational man still.

and philosophies didn't survive the test of time"

I don't think you know the first thing about it, since you've chosen a quote that isn't representative of the views of the man he became after leaving the black muslims.

I'd say his predictions and philosophies will survive a hell of a lot longer than your internet posts.

favor of the Dems. He said this back in the 1960s. He was right.

and the disgusting backlash that ensued (gutting of the Civil Rights Act, the wave of voter suppression laws that followed, the Birther Movement, the racist Tea Party signs and mock lynchings, the death threats, the obstruction and racist rhetoric from members of the House and Senate).

In 2008, the legendary Detroit-based activist and philosopher Grace Lee Boggs joined Democracy Now! for an extended interview. In this never-aired excerpt, Boggs, who will turn 100 in June, talks about how she knew Malcolm X and how he influenced her.

I find it so sad that after 50 years, we can watch videos of civil rights leaders such as Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and still face many of the same issues they talked about.

Stories about high-profile events that occurred in Ferguson, Missouri and New York City go far beyond just one or two examples — they speak to a certain mentality that is ever-present within police departments nationwide.

Police Brutality goes far beyond race; Kristiana Coignard’s story attests to that. It’s about power over those with little to no power in our society. It’s something that’s never going to change until the American people start demanding more from our government.

It’s true that we need the police to do the job that most of us could or would not do. At the same time, we also need police officers who respect their fellow citizens and who look for opportunities to improve the communities they serves. They can do this through more community based policing and volunteer work within the communities they police, not just by arresting or fining people.

Until we see those kinds of changes in the police community, videos like this will continue to have more and more meaning every year.
