Malcolm X: Why do we hold him in a positive light

Why do people look up to pic related? On top of spouting that white people are inherently inferior and evil, he also advocated violent protest against the government, labeled other civil rights leaders like MLK as "stooges" of the whites, and even proposed a black ethnostate in africa as a permanent solution to racial segregation. His thoughts and positions were so radical and stupid that, in his later life, renounced his extreme stances on some these issues and as a result was fucking assassinated by the same group he was the leader of just a few years before.

Yet, in nearly all mention of him, I see that he is portrayed as a positive, important influence on the civil rights movement. This makes no sense, if anything, he slowed down the progress of the civil rights movement by advocating for the complete opposite of their positions, denouncing their less radical leaders, and advocating for violence, which would've given legitimacy to the opposition of the civil rights movement in that the proponents of the movement were just "violent niggers" that wanted to bring down the white race.

Why do people hold him in positive regard? DO people hold him in positive light? I get that he was a very important figure from a historical perspective, but within my very limited knowlege of the man, he seemed like a comeplete lunatic in his relevant years.

>mfw he got killed for changing his mind

He was a black fascist who wanted to move his kin to Africa and create a nation for themselves. He's everything we want blacks to be honestly.

this.

Malcolm X may have hated white people, but I do not begrudge that against him, because it is simply natural to want to be with your own kind.

He was still redpilled in his own sense, because he fucking HATED white liberals, and tried to warn the black community that liberals are pandering for black votes and will deliver on none of their empty promises.

Meanwhile, MLK was attending communist indoctrination training classes

>Malcom X wanted us to go back to Africa
>Marcus Garvey wanted us to go back to Africa
>W.E.B. Dubious wanted us go to back to Africa
>All of'em were killed after changing their minds about the goodness of white

How ironic

He knew about the Jews and was cool with Rockwell, that makes him alright in my book. Not to mention he saw the value in racial purity and segregation unlike others of his time. He was also killed by the Jews.

I thought he was killed by the commies that run the black panther party

Switch out jews with non-africans and switch knew about with believed they were comepletely inferior. Also i'm pretty sure (unless you buy into the ZOG meme) that he was definitely targeted by groups other than jews.

>Marcus Garvey
>W.E.B. Dubious
>killed
They died of old age and natural causes you char-brained monkey. Malcolm X was assassinated by the quintessential Jew owned nigger.

I meant by proxy of course. It's not like "God's chosen" would ever dirty their hands themselves. Worth looking into if you haven't read into it, lot's of discussion about the assasination.

Well if the jews were pushing (((democratic socialism))) in the 60s, I wouldn't be surprised if they were funding the black panthers

I read the Autobiography of Malcolm X and it's one of my favourite books I've ever read. He wanted to stand up for his people. I can respect that.

The lesson I learn from it is that all people should stand up for themselves. This is why I think that white people need to stand up for ourselves. That doesn't mean we can't have amicable relations with other races - perhaps we can. But we need to stand up for ourselves.

Indeed he did want that, until he went on the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, and that's when he then decided that the races could in fact live together if they embraced a spirit of peace. But he still believed blacks needed to discover their heritage and be proud of it.

Although I find it ironic that he, and the rest of the Nation of Islam, thought Islam was the original religion of the black man. It wasn't. It's the religion of Arabs, who enslaved blacks and colonised them, just like whites did. But hey ho.

>Malcolm X may have hated white people
I think he had a pretty good reason though, which is that white supremacists killed his father. Also he never advocated any sort of harm to white people purely because of them being white - he only advocated self-defence, so I can respect that.

Nigrops, You are too smart to be a part of blm.

what i want to know is where the hell are the black panthers through all of this???

Was he cool with Rockwell? Rockwell went to see a speech of his, at the invitation of the Nation of Islam. But I don't know if Rockwell and Malcolm ever met.

If you're black, what are your views on race relations in America? How would you describe yourself politically?

I just made my flag blm because of the topic

I just googled it.

So apparently the Black Panthers raised funds in their early days by selling copies of the communist manifesto and chairman mao's Little red book" on the campus of UC berkeley.

He was at least eloquent and well spoken unlike most niggers today. Even if he was radical, I would rather have a radical intelligent black that advocates separatism than rabid niggers being a nuisance.

His hate just proves that white and black people just inherently cannot live within a nation. Even if I don't agree with his radical hate, I understand it is natural for races to have animosity towards one another.

holy shit. you found the rosetta stone brother.

Somebody asked him if he hated white people and he basically said yes, since whites enslaved blacks. At which point I had to laugh since he was a devout Muslim, and Muslims Arabs were the first to enslave blacks and do so to this day. Other that that, he was perfect. His hatred for whites doesn't bother me at all since he was in fact a nigger and it's impossible for a nigger to insult me.

>he also advocated violent protest against the government,
that's why.
remove the government and civil war 2 can start.

I agree that the races will always have animosity to each other, but that doesn't necessarily mean we can't live together.

I just think whites need to stand up for ourselves. That's the priority for me.

Separating the races into different nations would be a task that requires a lot of effort, and it seems most people in the West don't have the hunger for that sort of solution yet. Maybe one day they will. For the moment I just think whites should stand up for ourselves.

Also I think this is a problem of the alt-right. I think the alt-right needs to come up with a coherent political manifesto. Spencer talks of white nationalism but there are no details to it. Where would it be? What will you do about non-white people already there? There's too many unanswered questions. This is why it's seen as a joke to much of the public. It might just be better to focus on issues that are screwing over white people - discrimination in affirmative action / diversity programmes, negative portrayal in the media, generalising across the entire race as being responsible for the actions of a few, etc.

I assume everyone on pol is a troll, as long as you're not on the wrong side when the bullets start flying or the cars start accelerating.

You can't dodge the dodge

Story time for any Sup Forumsniggers that don't know Malcolm X was the inspiration for the militant black man of the 70s who started self segregating themselves by name using names they found strong and african sounding then their childrens names in turn it has reduced black hire rates because you can now accidentally drop a couple tyrones into the shredder for more chads and brandons. Before this time black people named themselves names that are atrributed to white men, so in a turn of events by literally segregating themselves at birth they have allowed the possibility of the thing they fought against. Thus the names shannekwa and jirone were born.

>At which point I had to laugh since he was a devout Muslim, and Muslims Arabs were the first to enslave blacks and do so to this day.
Yeah I do find that slightly ironic. Really he should have embraced indigenous African religious beliefs.

>His hatred for whites doesn't bother me at all since he was in fact a nigger and it's impossible for a nigger to insult me.
He was a smart guy, and also he wasn't very dark-skinned at all - I'm guessing he had a lot of European ancestry. Which is probably why he was so civilised.

If every black person was as civilised as him then there might not be as many problems. But I don't think every black person COULD be that civilised - especially not those with very little or no European ancestry. They have nothing in common with us.

>He's everything we want blacks to be honestly.
Dead? Yeah I guess he is lol

He was a genius. Instead, blacks have Farrakhan...and are worse off after Obama.

Yup Malcolm X was certainly a more intelligent and sensible man than Farrakhan.

Also I prefer Malcolm X to MLK. MLK's a fucking hack who pandered to feel-good nonsense. Malcolm X told it straight.

cause magneto's a badass and prof x is a big pussy
