Yep. But I'm sure gathering African, South American, and Middle Eastern support for his planned Genocide claim in the World Court was all talk.

This jigaboo is a joke. He tap dances for whitey all day everyday
I was talking about you!- thanks for your response
those numbers are misleading - many of the shootings and violent acts carried out by panthers, were done by wanna-be's and people whom the key figureheads of the black panther movement didn't want in their anyway..
however, i stand corrected - the panthers DID shoot at cops. and yes, my foot is quite tasty.
what about my other 2 points though? these cats just LET drugs evaporate their community (the dope game started in their backyard!) and many of the panthers went on to become bloods and crips...like i said - they didn't do shit. they were symbolic, and gave black people a sense of pride, but in the grand scheme of things, nada.
The Panther Movement would have provided a much better future for black people than MLK's movement. I think MLK was the greatest American ever for pushing through those civil rights bills. But after that he went in the wrong direction. He fought the war that the small black middle class wanted (integrated housing) instead of the war that the masses needed.
Integration was a disaster for African Americans. We became divided just when we won the legal right to prosper in this country. The black middle class left, and there was no more community to speak of. (The black middle class has been trying to live with whites ever since Reconstruction.) No role models, no investment, no education in inner cities because the best and brightest of us deserted the rest of us.
The Panthers were the closest to bringing us together. They led a national grass roots movement to EDUCATE black people. They wanted to instill black pride; knowledge of black history; and knowledge of our rights as citizens. Plus they implemented social policies (free lunch). However, their major mistake was in not reaching out to the black entrepreneurs and middle class.
But we must remember that the Panthers did not LET anything happen. They were attacked and destroyed by the federal government. They were not going against local police or some weak organization. COINTELPRO was the federal government's largest attack on any civilian organization in U.S. history. So lets not dismiss the Panthers as utter failures. They came closest to anyone since Garvey to instilling a national black consciousness. This was the great fear of the government, which is why Garvey, Malcolm, and the Panthers had to be destroyed.

I think when we evaluate Malcolm we have to take into account the older Malcolm. The after the nation of Islam Malcolm. He was about community orginizing and programs for inner city Blacks for self empowerment. Towards the end of their lives Malcolm and MLK had ideas that where convergent. The Panthers Spun off from
Malcolms ideas.
And please don't talk about John Wayne and Malcolm in the same breath. John Wayne was a major finacial supporter of the KKK
Fuck this cat. Malcolm X lived and died for Black empowerment. What the fuck has this coon done to even qualify to speak on brother Malcom? FUCK THIS NIGGER!
Umm...i think Christianity is pretty popular in America. And all of your discriptions of Islam fit Christianity.
What makes the differnce is in weather or not people who are part of the religion or in a desperate economic or social situation. When people are desperate you see more extream forms of the religion manifest themselves.
If suicide bombers had a good life and access to economics and social freedom.....Al Quida<sp> would be short of volunteers.

c/s.
and he calls himself a BLACK man? stanley crouch needs 2 kill himself.
nigga look like he could b steve urkel daddy.
if malcom x was no more than a charismatic heckler, he would not have been murdered. racism will not get any better just because we have a black president. racism goes far deeper than that. having a black president does not equate to having a power structure that is sensitive to black ppl. I think that Malcom x would have been proud of what Barack Obama has accomplished. Malcom x was not a politician, barack is. the difference is that as a politician Barack could very well believe some of the very same things that Malcom felt but can't publicly express it because of his postion in government. lastly there can be no denial that Malcom was a black male figure who was unapologetic for what he believed which angered whites. in america that=
