    Malcom X was and still is the truth. May he rest in power! I listen to his speeches every now and then. I follow a playlist of his best ones and was listening to the collection today. It's amazing how everything he said in the 60's is relevant today. Race wars, the american government, voting, lamestream media, interracial relationships, etc! He literally warned us about these demons, yet many of our people continue to be tricked by this so called white man. While they follow the pale devil's way, we follow Malcom's way! B1 ✊🏾

    Malcolm X holds a special place in my heart I just can't put it any other way.

    He exuded what it was to be B1.

    He was B1 when you could be taken out back and lynched.

    He was B1 when there was no internet to exchange information.

    He was uncompromising.

    He was articulate.

    He was masculine.

    He stood for righteousness.

    He gave everything for us.

    We owe everything to him and to us.

    Malcolm X autobiography changed my life. I was just floating through tryna be a heathen. That book opened my eyes to the whole chess board. I wasn't able to grasp it all, but he laid out the blueprint for me to think criticially and maneuver accordingly. IF an activist ain't coming with the "By Any Means Necessary" energy, I can't really rock with them because at some point we're going to have defend ourselves. But also, that book hipped me to game concerning voting and how the government undermines movements. That fox and wolf analogy was the biggest nugget that I could grasp at that age because I was voting for the first time in the 2000 election. I was able to see all the tricks laid out just as he described. 20 years later, and the world is even more dangerous. Malcolm wasn't just a man. He was a prophet and quite possibly one of the most intelligent men of his generation. Can't even imagine how much better the world would've been had Blacks been on code and protected that brother.

    The Ballot or the Bullet speech made me realize just how stupid we have been as a community. I remember listening to the speech and shocked at the eloquence but frustrated that his words rang true until this day. Why did we not listen to this man at the time? It is upsetting me as I type this.

    I believe my mother owns his autobiography, which I have to read. Bro. Malcom is apart of my awakening. I looked up to him prior, but even more so in this period of time. He exposed these corrupt leaders and told the truth about how these celebrities are being used or just selling out. He spoke truth about more issues which are still happening today. He was a head of his time.A true leader for sure. I believe he was a Black messiah. I agree with everything you stated. Malcom saw through the BS and called it out with no hesitation. He started from a dark place and was transformed into a revolutionary. He should be alive, in his rocking chair holding his great grandchildren. RIP King
