Have you never listened to his speechās or read them? He stated that Blacks should create businesses and deal with Blacks in business.
There is much I actually like about what Malcolm X stated, but also much I donāt. I have to look back to the times, as well. He did get Democratās, though.
A follower of Malcolm Xās philosophy, I see.
No. America was nation built on white dependency. Not the individual.
Whites depended on the Naturalization Act of 1790 to make all European immigrants eligible for automatic citizenship, with rights above non whites. Whites depended on land giveaways like the Homestead Act, and housing subsidies that were essentially white-only for years, like FHA and VA loans. Even the GI Bill was largely for whites only.
Whites were dependent on the land and resources of the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Then these same Europeans relied on slave labor to build a new nation and to create wealth for themselves; wealth that was instrumental to financing the American Revolution
Now I'm sure you'll say "Africans sold their own"
Well that undercuts your argument because this shows how dependent whites have been on blacks: having to pay and bribe Africans to catch their own and deliver them. Whites couldnāt even do that by themselves.
Whites were dependent on Native peoples to teach them farming skills, as the earliest colonists starved to death and turning. Whites were dependent on Mexicans to teach them how to extract gold from river and quartz. White we were dependent on Asian labor to build the railroads that made transcontinental commerce possible.
During slavery whites were dependent on blacks for more than picking cottion. They relied on black women to care for their children. They relied on blacks to build the levees that kept rivers from their doorstep. They relied on black girls to fan them to sleep white ladies. They relied on blacks to do everything: cooking, cleaning, making their beds, polishing their shoes, chopping the wood to heat their homes, and nursing whites back to health when.
During the civil war, the Confederacy relied on blacks to cook for the troops and make the implements of war they would use in battle. The Union relied on nearly 200,000 black soldiers to win the war.
And nothing changes.
Each year, African Americans spend around $500 billion with white-owned companies: money that goes mostly into the pockets of the white owners, white employees, white stockholders, and the white communities in which they live.
And yet whites say black people need them ?
Now letās just cut the crap. Who would be hurt more : black folks ? If all welfare programs were shut down tomorrow, or white folks ? If blacks decided we were through transferring half-a-trillion dollars each year to white ppl and were going to keep our money in our own communities?
But yet you say America was built on the individual. Yeah right
"The white liberal is the worst enemy to America, and the worst enemy to the black man.
The white liberal arenāt white people who are for independence, who are moral and ethical in their thinking. They are just a faction of
white people that are jockeying for power.
The liberal elements of whites are those who have
perfected the art of selling themselves to the Negro as a friend of the Negro.Getting sympathy of the Negro, getting the allegiance of the Negro, and getting the mind of the Negro. Then the Negro sides with the white liberal, and the white liberal use the Negro against the white conservative. So that anything that the Negro does is never for his own good, never for his own advancement, never for his own progress, heās
only a pawn in the hands of the white liberal.
"
The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros, and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have. If the Negro wasnāt taken, tricked, or
deceived by the white liberal then Negros would get together and solve our own problems. I only cite these things to show you that in America the history of the white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negros think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems. Our problems will never be solved by the white man."
Malcolm X
When did X say this?
Last week?
I'm quite sure he would have opposed the presidency of Barack Obama and voted republican too.
Instead of misquoting X listen to your Asian sister and wake up.
We Will Not Be Used: Are Asian-Americans the Racial Bourgeoisie?
By Mari J. Matsuda
"If white, historically, is the top of the racial hierarchy in America, and black, historically, is the bottom, will yellow assume the place of the racial middle? The role of the racial middle is a critical one. It can reinforce white supremacy if the middle deludes itself into thinking it can be just like white if it tries hard enough. Conversely, the middle can dismantle white supremacy if it refuses to be the middle, if it refuses to buy into racial hierarchy, if it refuses to abandon communities of Black and Brown people, choosing instead to form alliances with them.
The theme of the unconventional fundraiser talk you are listening to is, āwe will not be used.ā It is a plea to Asian-Americans to think about the ways in which our communities are particularly susceptible to playing the worst version of the racial bourgeoisie role.
In thinking this, I remember my motherās stories of growing up on a sugar plantation on Kauai. She tells of the Portuguese luna or overseer. The luna rode on a big horse and ordered the Japanese and Filipino workers around. The luna in my motherās stories is a tragic-comic figure. He thinks he is better than the other workers, but he doesnāt realize that the plantation owner considers the luna sub-human, just like the other workers. The stereotype of the dumb portagee persists in Hawaii today, a holdover from the days of the luna parading around the big house, cloaked in self-delusion and false pride.
The double tragedy for the plantation nisei who hated the luna is that the sansei in Hawaii are becoming the new luna. Nice Japanese girls from Manoa Valley are going through four years of college to get degrees in Travel Industry Management, in order to sit behind a small desk in a big hotel, to dole out marching orders to brown-skinned workers and to take orders from a white man with a bigger desk and a bigger paycheck who never has to complicate his life by dealing with the brown people who make the beds and serve the food. He need only deal with the Nice Japanese Girl, ex-Cherry Blossom Queen, eager to please, who doesnāt know she will never make it to the bigger desk.
The portagee luna now has the last laugh with this new unfunny portagee joke: when the portagee was the luna, he didnāt have to pay college tuition to ride that horse.
Iād like to say to my sister behind the small desk, āremember where you came from and take this pledge: we will not be used.ā
We Will Not Be Used: Are Asian-Americans the Racial Bourgeoisie?
Why do you ask such dumb questions? I know what X stood for. X was talking abut democrats in 1964. The Dixiecrats he talked about are todays republicans. The northern white liberal he was talking about at that time, were Republicans.
You need to learn more about him. I know plenty.
"The Dixiecrats he talked about are todays republicans."
As false as everything you post, you dolt.
They were Dixicrats....not Dixiecans.....and after the election went right back to being Democrats.
In order to hide their racist background, the Democrats/Liberals have developed a story line that the party created to end slavery somehow decided to āflipā and become an endorser of racismā¦.and then engaged in a āSouthern Strategyā to win the racist vote in the South.
Bogus.
George Wallace votes went to Democrats.
Wallace was a Democrat, and the same people who voted for Wallace voted Democrat...
Slavers, segregationists, and other racists.
"Four years after Goldwater, the segregationist vote went right back to Democrats:
Humphrey got half of Wallaceās supporters on election day. Nixon got none of āem.
āWhen the '68 campaign began, Nixon was at 42 percent, Humphrey at 29 percent, Wallace at 22 percent. When it ended, Nixon and Humphrey were tied at 43 percent, with Wallace at 13 percent.
The 9 percent of the national vote that had been peeled off from Wallace had gone to Humphrey.ā Pat Buchanan - The neocons & Nixon's southern strategy
"Between 1969 and 1974, Nixon, who believed that blacks had gotten a raw deal in America and wanted to extend a helping hand:
-- raised the civil rights enforcement budget 800 percent;
-- doubled the budget for black colleges;
-- appointed more blacks to federal posts and high positions than any president, including LBJ;
-- adopted the Philadelphia Plan mandating quotas for blacks in unions, and for black scholars in colleges and universities;
-- invented "Black Capitalism" (the Office of Minority Business Enterprise), raised U.S. purchases from black businesses from $9 million to $153 million, increased small business loans to minorities 1,000 percent, increased U.S. deposits in minority-owned banks 4000 percent;
-- raised the share of Southern schools that were desegregated from 10 percent to 70 percent. Wrote the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights in 1975, "It has only been since 1968 that substantial reduction of racial segregation has taken place in the South." The charge that we built our Republican coalition on race is a lie."

Hard to believe how truly ignorant you are.
