I also have an aunt who works for the Social Security office and has seen a black person embezzle money. Because of radical activists like Rev White, Jessie Jackson and others. They had to go to court to fire the embezzler! If a white person messes up there... they are gone. If it's a minority, any minority they get special treatment. How is that fair?
One of the things I notice absent in most of the histories on slavery in Europe and the America's is the role slavery played in the balance of economic, military, and political power in Europe. Spain's colonies provided the nations with great power, and Spain used that power to try and gain control of Northern European countries, actually ruling Holland for over a century, and attempting to conquer Britain
That is why they killed him

I have an issue with people promoting division in humanity by espousing a racial concept. You are free to be proud of your heritage, just don't rub it in other peoples faces. To me, there is no such thing as a 'Black Man' or a 'White Man', there are just HU-mans. People talk about 'race' as if all the various people of color are all from different planets. It seems like there is alot more focus on skin color since our current president got elected, but I wonder if anyone has stopped to think about the fact that we all bleed the same color? 'A rose by any other name...' am I right?

History also seems to ignore Carthage, a black African civilization that dominated the Mediterranean with their naval prowess before the rise of Rome. Yes, the Roman Republic eventually defeated Carthage, but that shouldn't diminish the accomplishments of Carthage.

If the movie was right, there was a lot of racism being directed towards whites. There are, clearly people in the U.S. Muslim community with very racist agenda's who push a very distorted view of history that claims that all the success of whites was due to whites stealing all of the technology from the Asian, black, and brown people.
It seems that Malcolm figured out that white people aren't all that bad after all.
Like I posted earlier, when you look at how much trading in black slaves was conducted by Arabs, for much, much longer than whites ever traded slaves, you gotta wonder why the U.S. black community would be so willing to embrace Islam.
Could it be that X figured this out as well?
