Malcolm X Racism
The reason for our governments inability to eliminate racism is because they are the ones that created it! Why do you think they'll penalize the white cops they employed? We post on social media how upset we are but once it dies down, we go back into our normality's until another black man or female is unjustly killed. This cycle needs to be broken. Who is going to be our Malcolm X and keep our eyes and minds open? Let me remind you that it's not just these men that have died. How about the ones that weren't caught on video? They aren't getting paid leave for killing, they're still on the street about to meet their new victim.

    Civil rights activist Malcolm X was born Malcolm Little, but Malcolm changed his name because he felt that his last name had been imposed on his family by a slave holder. When Malcolm was young, his family suffered greatly at the hands of white supremacists. His family’s home was burned down, and his father was probably murdered in retaliation for speaking out for African American rights. However, the police called both events accidents. Malcolm joined a controversial group devoted to securing rights for African Americans, called the Nation of Islam. He became a national spokesman for the group but left it after he became disillusioned with its leadership.

    As I finished reading the book "Malcolm X: By All Means Necessary", I thought about a lot of the things Malcolm X stood for; equal rights, black power and freedom from the "white man". Malcolm had an ideology that he stood for strongly, which to me is especially important. Malcolm fought for the black population in the 1960's through adversity and defeat, he took a stand for what he believed in and helped change the face of a nation.…

The ballot part of the speech addresses African American voting rights. African Americans had the right to vote, but were being forced to vote for someone who would not help them. The white politicians who did not have African Americans interest at heart were the ones who disagreed with the black nationalism.…

    1. “The teaching of Mr. Muhammad stressed how history had been ‘whitened’—when white men had written history books”(P.213). From this sentence, I found the word “whitened” very interesting. It was rare to describe the history being “whitened”. Then Malcolm had explained, what he meant by “whitened” history. It was how the white races actually dominant and created history, since they were the people who wrote history, so history was written in the white’s point of views.…

He also stated that, to love one’s enemy is an absolute necessity for our survival. Also, Love even for enemies is the key to the solution of the problem of our world. This discussion is stating that we must seek to defeat or humiliate the enemy but to win a friendship and understanding. An example of what Lincoln did with his campaigning for the presidency who was Mr. Stanton. Stanton’s hate was beyond words towards Lincoln where he uttered unkind words about Lincoln’s physical appearance, and everything about him. As Lincoln was elected a president of the United Stated, he had to select and choose men for various secretaries and one of the secretaries that were chosen for all important secretary of war was Stanton.

    A wise man once said we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal. The wise man being Abraham lincoln of course. I like to believe that we as a society are all strong believers of this. Sadly that is far from the truth. It seems that sometimes power gets in the way of doing what is right. I personally have seen this multiple times but I would like to start with someone who has way more power than me. Dontre Hamilton, Eric Garner, John Crawford III, and Michael Brown Jr. You are probably wondering what all of these men have in common, first of all they are all black men but that shouldn’t matter what is important is that they were all unarmed men shot by police officers. You may be wondering why all these men were shot, and the answer is simple power. I believe that all these men were killed because of power and specifically the thought of being powerless. Police officers have a lot of power they…

    During the last couple of years atrocious killings have occured here in the US. I belive everyone has heard about cases like Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Eric Gardner, all innocent african-american men killed by policeofficers who didn't get convicted or punished at all for ending their lives. Now a murder is always bad but it is in my opinion even worse when it is conducted by our own police, the people that are supposed to protect us. And when it happpens as often as it has for the last couple of years and at the same time is targeted exclusively towars african-american men, then there is something very wrong with our justice-system. At the moment it looks like all people aren't equal under the law wich means that we can not call ourselfs a fair democracy. This slaughter needs to stop or else it will shake our country to the core and maybe even destroy it.…
