May 31, 2020·editedThis is the funniest YouTube comment I've ever seen. It's like he's admitting that he thinks his party of choice is regressive and bigoted.

MontrealA big tragedy is American schools not teaching anything about Frantz Fanon
Beyond Mandela and MLK, Which black socialist figure are given any mainstream prominence? We'll be getting lessons on Kanye West before Fanon is brought up in a highschool class

slime wrldWhite people literally wanted it to be black and white saying
MLK = peaceful and Malcom = violentthis really is all I remember them teaching smh
May 31, 2020·1 replyMalcom changed after he went to Mecca and realized every race was there abiding as a community due to a shared religion. It changed his perspective on all races etc and in life. He wasn’t the old Malcolm aka Red. Then went against Nation of Islam after learning Elijah Muhammad his mentor the head of it was impregnating a bunch of girl followers “spreading his seed.” He tried to correct all that s*** and do the right thing and got merked by his own ppl.
Even Muhammad Ali said his biggest regret in life was not believing Malcolm’s claims against Elijah and the Nation of Islam and not helping malcolm before he got killed. All in all guy tried to make peace and got flatlined.

Worldpremiere_Shiiieettt, My childhood was confusing. Basically i was passed around to different places, neighborhoods, classes and was really just confused on some identity s***. No one really taught me s*** about anything at that time. i was left alone with a cousin or a homie whoever wanted to take me in. My fam consists of alot of races due to adoption and i was never at my moms cause she was off the s***s.
Long story short i didnt know who tf i was for the longest time. Reading the book gave me a foundation on who i wanted to be and a huge sense of pride in my race that was never taught to me before i read the book. After that book i started getting into politics too cause it made me hella pissed off. its more than an autobiography imo. He breaks everything down
Plus i read it when i was in the deep south and my life was personally changing overall. Without the south, this book, and standing on the corner - red burns, who knows who id be rn
That was so deep bro I love it

May 31, 2020·editedIn school we learned that he took the more radical/violent approach to civil rights but my teacher said she agreed with his methods the most
Besides that MLK is who we learned about the most due to his peaceful manner

Malcolm and MLK have both been heavily whitewashed
My teachings on both in school were/are terrible
blase 🦋May 31, 2020RmxmeThey really did. Which is crazy cuz I lived in a predominantly black community but we had white teachers and superintendents. Crazy they wouldn’t tell us the truth. Only taught us about MLK
They probably didn't even teach you the truth about MLK either.
I had the privilege of taking African American studies as an elective in HS so I was able to read X's autobiography then and have discussions about it with other black kids.

BIGGWAVEMLK was safer thats why he was promoted more
Still not safe enough for them not to assassinate him tho

KINWhite people basically taught “all these niggas was the devil except for MLK we liked him”

DS2Your school system mislead you sadly, glad you decided to do your own research though. Malcolm was decades ahead of his time

The s*** malcolm teaches is not taught in no school bro
this vid is just a lil introS***, MLK himself isn’t taught in school outside of I Have A Dream speech and that letter he wrote in jail.

What's funny is they also nitpick the parts about MLK they want to show you too.
For some off reason, people are just now realizing that MLK detested moderates when it was always part of his discourse.
May 31, 2020·1 replyThey didn't teach us anything about Malcom in my school. In fact, I think we stopped learning about black history all together after elementary school. I don't remember covering it in middle/high school, certainly not to any great extent.

You’ll get the starter pack. MLK, George Washington carver, maybe Sojourner, probably Booker T, WEB Du Bois, and Frederick Douglas.

Malcolm was just pragmatic and told the truth at every turn
Of course they would paint him in a bad light
- Hi-C 🦌May 31, 2020Buckleys Angel
A lot (most) of school districts won’t even teach him either way
Doesn’t fit their white washed narrative. Easier to whitewash MLK as a peaceful protester

Please watch. super short and informative.
May 31, 2020There was a lot of controlled opposition work at the time by elites (like future VP Nelson Rockefeller) to promote the peaceful MLK as the leader of the movement as opposed any other more militant civil rights leaders
May 31, 2020The prophet Larry June once said
“Everybody don’t love you my N, Just get richer”
Do just that

That tells me that’s this black white problem is just extremism && anyone with a solution will die
Isn’t it weird that mlk died by govt && Malcolm d died by the govt?

May 31, 2020On the real everything I learned about Malcolm X was on my own, I don’t recall them ever talkin about him in school, they talked about MLK tho
