The Autobiography of Malcolm X | Malcolm X

We were in that world of Negroes who are both servants and psychologists, aware that white people are so obsessed with their own importance that they will pay liberally, even dearly, for the impression of being catered to and entertained.

Just like on Facebook today.

Playboy printed Malcolm X verbatim
Only people at the time to do so
Hughs love of the first amendment right did many good things
This is one of those two things can be true at the same time things

The Autobiography of Malcolm X | Malcolm X

It was a surprising thing that I had never thought of it that way before, but I realized that whatever I wasn't, I was smarter than nearly all of those white kids. But apparently I was still not intelligent enough, in their eyes, to become whatever I wanted to be.

I despise his teacher for being so discouraging.

And knowing that my mother in there was a statistic that didn't have to be, that existed because of a society's failure, hypocrisy, greed, and lack of mercy and compassion. Hence I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight.

Powerful!!

TheBookHippie EXACTLY. The privilege of people who don‘t get this exacerbates me. And they don‘t care because it doesn‘t affect them 🤦🏽‍♀️ 4y

Butterfinger @TheBookHippie I know. I'm tired of seeing all lives matter on my Facebook. They twist a serious issue and make it about them. My family treats me like a traitor because I admire the athletes kneeling. I think it is a very respectful way to protest. But, my family thinks of disrespect toward soldiers. NO - ITS NOT IT'S TOWARD THE GOVERNMENT. So, I am betraying my nation. I'll keep fighting because of my friends and my students. I want them to have a great future. 4y

He denounced Christianity as a religion designed for slaves and the Negro clergy as the curse of the black man, exploiting him for their own purposes instead of seeking to liberate him, and acting as handmaidens of the white community in it's determination to keep the Negros in a subservient position.

Butterfinger I have to agree with this opinion and I hate that Christianity is pared down to hatred of differences. As a Christian, my Bible doesn't teach me to hate, but to love and to witness with Christlike love. But now, the organized church acts just like the Pharisees - keep out, you are not like us - and IT IS WRONG. I have made so many enemies of family and friends because I don't accept today's Church. This is why. 4y

Butterfinger This may be my -to have people leave me alone- for #Readwithmrbook @MrBook I don't want people to group me with the only white, only Republican Christian Church, but to group me in I will read, study, and search for the Lord's way of love and forgiveness. #BlackLivesMatterToMe 4y

eanderson So this is what stinks about being a Christian. We get lumped in the radical group of prejudice, racist, and super judgemental. Not all of us fit this. I 100% agree with you that I‘m here to love and witness with Christlike love. I know that I stay silent more than I should because it sucks to be called something when I‘m definitely not in that grouping. I always say, I‘m here to ‘Love God and Love People.‘ That‘s it. I pass no judgement or hate. (edited) 4y

TheBookHippie @Butterfinger SAME !!!! I am the EXACT SAME!!! 4y

TheBookHippie @eanderson only thing I follow love . Love others as self. Just love. I have a relationship -not a religion. I don‘t call myself Christian anymore it‘s such a bad connotation especially where I live. @Butterfinger white evangelicals have long ago ruined church. They are the Pharisees of today for sure. Today‘s church is not in any way reflective of Jesus. 4y

Scochrane26 @eanderson @Butterfinger I get frustrated, too, with some churches. And with the divisions among churches. There‘s a lot of denominations who are very accepting & focus on love, but often get lumped in as “the church”. Most of my denomination is very left. (edited) 4y

eanderson @Scochrane26 I attend a nondenominational church that is definitely very accepting and diverse. I agree. It‘s frustrating because we don‘t want to be lumped in as that ‘the church‘ when we aren‘t of the same disappointing attitude. 4y

Butterfinger @eanderson @Scochrane26 @TheBookHippie thanks for your comments. I was really hesitant about putting myself out there because I do not get the same support and understanding from those close to me. 4y

TheBookHippie @Butterfinger ❤️ Neither do I! 4y

My inherent idealism yearns for the issuance of the commemorative stamp and the living document of The Autobiography of Malcolm X to continue to bridge ignorance with insight, and despondency with hope. Attalla Shabazz
