And before anyone tries to make the tired claim about Dixiecrats or alleged party switches, listen to the speech. He very clearly asserts that Dixiecrats and Democrats are the same thing - "A Dixiecrat is nothing but a Democrat in disguise." Oh, and by the way, he was killed two days after saying all this. So this was his final position at the end of his life. [video=youtube;5NDZ4DG-DmE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NDZ4DG-DmE[/video]
I really like his Ballot or Bullet speech. This man, in my opinion, was far better than King and was far more conservative than liberal. Yes he turned to Islam but his core values were still very conservative.
Democrats seem to think that no one will challenge their lies. They for instance claim Thomas Jefferson as their own. But----------------it was Jefferson that said that-----the best possible government is the least possible government!!!!
All very good points. And I can't help but notice that none of our liberal friends weighed in on this thread. I wonder why.
Actually if you've ever watched the movie Malcolm X, they insinuate it was the American Nation of Islam that killed him because he was gaining too much popularity and was a threat to the leaders. So I don't think it was white people who killed him . in fact the movie also shows that the very guy who brought him into the Nation Of Islam in prison turned on him and basically slandered him before he was killed. The movie also insinuates that the death threats he got were not from white folksm but from the Nation Of islam as well. And he was a ytue believer too. HE was completely convinced when he traveled to the Middle East and he was treated far better there by white Muslims than the Americna people. I highly recommend watching the movie. after I watched it I gained a greater understanding of the guy.
Malcolm X, in his day, was regarded as an absolutely flaming radical who wanted to kill all whites and destroy the country. It's really ironic to see conservatives saying he was one of their's I wonder how he'd feel about Ferguson? Would he side with Wilson over Brown? Bloody Hell, Malcolm X would hang every one of you conservatives if he had the chance. You know it, I know it and the whole board knows it. Don't try to deny it and stop trying to kid a kidder.
Oh, I never claimed him as one of mine. I just said he hated the Democrats. Which he did. It's interesting that instead of acknowledging and accepting this, you're trying to redirect the topic. I want to hear more about how you feel about his beliefs about your people. That's why I started this thread. How do you feel about the fact that he saw your people for what they really are? Slimy and two-faced used car salesmen who are more concerned with black votes than black people.
We are not claiming him as one of our own because the fact of the matter is that he was neither. He was a single issue person for the most part, not a political ideologist but if you look at his speeches and his actions you will definitely see they belong in the conservative camp, not the liberal one. He did not believe in handouts or fair shares, he felt that everyone had a right, and needed to earn their own way. In fact, he would probably have a thing or two to say to all the minorities on entitlement dependency. As for the movie, there are so many flaws in there that you should discount that and do some first hand experience if you want to understand where he was coming from.
Anf guess whos tarted those rumors? The FBI and other white organizations, of course. White people hate it when they are challenged and will always react with imbecilic vitriol to those who do.
Oh my yes! I'm sure the conservatives and stormfronters here would absolutely love and embrace Malcolm if he were alive today.
Doubtful because he would be calling us the white devil but he is still more conservative than liberal. If you want to see a prophetic statement by Malcolm X then wrap your head around this. He tells you that liberals are worse than conservatives. ----- Malcolm X
