Over 55 years ago, totally forgotten or unknown to most people today, was when Malcolm X was shot and killed. He was assasinated much like MLK Jr., who was shot three years after.
He was an African American civil rights leader. He was a minister and supporter of black nationalism. He was born in 1925.
Now, Malcolm X had a lot to say about how African Americans were treated, and what they should do about it but one thing always sticks out, although very few people talk about it.
White Liberals
This was what he said about those White people who profess to be liberals and say they support or love the Black people.
Note, the term Negro back in those days and long before that was not like the N word. It was not a derogatory term, even to Blacks and they use it to refer to themselves.
Malcolm X said and I quote: "The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have. If the Negro wasn't taken, tricked or deceived by the white liberal, then Negros would get together and solve our own problems. I only cite these things to show you that in America, the history of the white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negros think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems. Our problems will never be solved by the white man."
And yes, your guess is as good as mine why no one talks about this or why Malcolm X was assasinated in the first place.
