    The leaders against injustice are the ones who were most complacent with it,until they themselves felt it's sting.

    The same Malcolm X that so many people praise,is the same Malcolm X who said he thought his lighter skin gave him more status. The same Malcolm X who rallied against Interracial dating is the same Malcolm X who dumped his black girlfriend for a white one.

    The same Malcolm X that tried to discourage black women from sleeping with white men is the same Malcolm X who drove black women to go have sex with white men.

    Well I do believe people can change. There are former kkk and neo nazi members who now preach compassion and non violence. We must allow them to change or suffer the sting of violent stillness.

    Malcolm wasn't as "radical" as most people think,he simply couldn't have been. Once you've had some of that white nectar,there's no way u can hate Ww.

    He was most likely just confused and fed up.

    Malcom changed a number of times.

    But that's interesting, maybe one who is smacked or stripped of their elitist position has the proper indignation and ego to lead such movements instead of those who are used to their inferior status?

    But they weren't part of the elitist groups or even men like Mendela who never caught a break his whole life.

    Well the same could be said for Malcolm if you look at it like that. He was born poor and had to drive black women to have sex with white men for a living.

    You're thinking about it from an economic stand point,it doesn't only deal with economics.

    Ghandi was born poor too I think.

    Two things: First on Malcolm in that he also would drive himself & other black men to have clandestine sexual relations with wealthy white women for money & other favors. Second on Gandhi, indeed he may have been born poor but was educated in the British school system (of course) & became an attorney and was considered middle to upper class amongst his own people before becoming the leader of his people.


    Wikki Info:
    Racism and controversy
    Some of Gandhi's early South African articles are controversial. On 7 March 1908, Gandhi wrote in the Indian Opinion of his time in a South African prison: "Kaffirs are as a rule uncivilised—the convicts even more so. They are troublesome, very dirty and live almost like animals." 15 Writing on the subject of immigration in 1903, Gandhi commented: "We believe as much in the purity of race as we think they do... We believe also that the white race in South Africa should be the predominating race."16 During his time in South Africa, Gandhi protested repeatedly about the social classification of blacks with Indians, whom he described as "undoubtedly infinitely superior to the Kaffirs". 17 Remarks such as these have led some to accuse Gandhi of racism.18 It is worth noting though that the word Kaffir had a different connotation in Gandhi's time than its current day meaning.19 Two professors of history who specialise in South Africa, Surendra Bhana and Goolam Vahed, examined this controversy in their text, The Making of a Political Reformer: Gandhi in South Africa, 1893–1914. (New Delhi: Manohar, 2005). They focus in Chapter 1, "Gandhi, Africans and Indians in Colonial Natal" on the relationship between the African and Indian communities under "White rule" and policies which enforced segregation (and, they argue, led to inevitable conflict between these communities). Of this relationship they state that, "the young Gandhi was influenced by segregationist notions prevalent in the 1890s." 20 At the same time, they state, "Gandhi's experiences in jail seemed to make him more sensitive to their plight...the later Gandhi mellowed; he seemed much less categorical in his expression of prejudice against Africans, and much more open to seeing points of common cause. His negative views in the Johannesburg jail were reserved for hardened African prisoners rather than Africans generally." 21 However, when plans to unveil a statue of Gandhi in Johannesburg was announced, a movement unsuccessfully tried to block it because of Gandhi's "racist" statements.18

    Just highlighting what I was going to respond to is all & as far as Wiki trying to water it down & whether it's true or not it's still racist as I have long thought/known that the Indians & other ethinicities back in South Africa at the time where just looking out for their own folks & didn't give a dayum about the Native Africans that were being oppressed!:mad:
