many happy (non)returns to mr malcolm X, born may 19th, 1925... I hope that your ghostly brothers are organising something major against the Neo Cons of America! |

we must be carefull of not thinking different... if we want to stay alive |
||||||||

|
|
are you saying there that non-comformists are in danger of losing their lives nacm8? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes at least in more danger than conformists |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
OK - I thought that's what you were saying :D And of course, it's true. |

hurrah, another birthday greeting at last! I was beginning to think that mr X was being neglected! |

i don't like malcom x. he talked about the holocaust like it was nothing and got mad that people thought it was a bigger deal than slavery. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, more people died as a result of slavery. He also recanted a lot of his earlier, rasher statements in the last 2 years of his life. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't know that. i've only heard about 4 or 5 of his speeches. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, for a start, he stepped away from anti-white racism and started talking more about integration. you should read his autobiography - it's an eye-opener. |
||||||||

i do enjoy biographies. i read one on charles manson's and it completely changed my perspective on him. |

||||||||

<-- big fan of malcolm x's ideas, not so much his personal life each one teach one! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the autobiography is good for putting his life into perspective -- from his early hustling days to his conversion into a somewhat fundamentalist idea of Islam to his travels which tempered his more extremist aspects shortly before his death. |
||||||||

OK you've got me reading about him now. "You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong no matter who does it or who says it." Malcom X |

good! I was in Ottakar's today picking up The Complete Book OF Zen by Wong Kiew Kit (buy his books!) and I checked the biography section and the autobiography of malcolm X was there! So... buy it!:) only about £7.99 :) |
||||||||

yea i have his autobio w/ haley forward, been meaning to read it for some years. did you like the spike lee enjoyed that, it adds some perspective to some of the studies i've read.. this one great sociology book i've read by jack katz uses malcolm x as a negative example a lot.. clearly a personal vendetta (anti-muslim sentiment, racism, etc.). he uses him w/o any deference to his political beliefs, just references various crimes he comitted in context of chapters about normal murderers, robbers, etc. pretty disrespectful and one of the few downfalls of a mostly fantastic book on crime. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I admit to not having see the film yet, despite being a major fan of spike lee and denzel :) But I'm gonna buy it once I've finished the autobiography :) The intro, by Haley is really good too :) |
