Good points, but Interesting half-truths at best, as there is the other side of the story.

He cites Malcolm X, but Malcolm X would totally disagree with him.

No, but I did a lot of research on his writings back in college.  In fact, why don't you do a search on his speeches on YouTube.  I am sure you will get a clear picture on what he would have said about that video in the OP.

That's a purely hypothetical opinion with no way to ever prove you're right.

SOP for you.   :wave:

Oops!  No military experience for you.  That stands for "Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)".  I'm sure that'll help you Google what it means.

You have no way to know what Malcolm-X might say today about the video,  Malcolm-X, for all you know, could have evolved in his beliefs since the time he wrote what you read.

Oh, wait!  He was assassinated in 1965.  Do the math, man!!   :shaka:  You're basing an opinion on someone's thinking over 55 years ago. 

My hypothetical opinion is that he would have altered his opinion based on the simple fact that this is not the 1960s.

Glad he brought up Al Sharpton. Can’t stand that guy.

Other sides of the story? Yup, that racism isn’t a white person thing. That is one aspect I wish people considered. Also on slavery and education, who writes as well as teaches history?

Starting your flawed response with personal attacks, how predictable.

So would have the Founding Fathers if they were alive today; I don't see what's your point?

My position is based on an analysis of Malcolm X's views from the available information known about him.  That's the only thing that matters, unlike your opinion, which is purely conjecture.



PROVE ME WRONG.
Your attempt to confuse my argument with your argument masked with personal attacks makes proving you wrong a waste of time.

That music is really annoying. If the message is strong enough it does not need cheap emotional manipulation.
Stop blaming lazy people. We didn’t do anything.
