wow @ people talking about Malcolm X and not realizing what he stood for. Malcolm X and Martin Luther King both wanted to improve conditions for blacks, yes. But, their approaches were vastly different. Malcolm X was more about the empowerment of black people to defend themselves and stand up for their rights "By Any Means Necessary." Martin Luther King adopted the philosophies of Ghandi and Jesus--i.e., turn the other cheek. Racism is not a joke people. Racism is what would cause someone to bomb a church and kill 4 innocent little girls. Spike Lee made a poignant movie about that. Racism is what would cause someone to drag a black man behind a truck until his head detached from his shoulders.

That is NOT a joke.

P.S. That latter incident happened in the 1990s.



Let's get it together people.
