50 Years Since the Death of Malcolm X [View all]

Feb. 21, 2015 (San Diego) “No, we are not anti-white. But we don’t have time for the white man. The white man is on top already, the white man is the boss already… He has first-class citizenship already. So you are wasting your time talking to the white man. We are working on our own people.” Malcolm X
We live in a world where things have changed, and changed a lot since Malcolm X, born Malcolm Little on May. 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska, and he died in New York on Feb 21, 1965.
Malcolm X was born into a different world, where racism was overt, and obvious. People were killed for the mere fact that they were minorities. The strange fruit that the trees in the South (and other places) continued to produce were well known, and the Klan dominated politics in many places.
White supremacy was something that was openly displayed all over the country. For example, here in California property deeds prohibited the sale or transfer of property to Blacks, Hispanics, Jews and Irish.
