In the middle of a war on top of a mountain the most high showed me who I was in the mirror and I did not like what I saw staring back at me. QUESTION EVERYTHNG
“I would call him Napoleon, but Napoleon made his way to empire over broken oaths and through a sea of blood. This man never broke his word. I would call him Cromwell, but Cromwell was only a soldier, and the state he founded went down with him into his grave. I would call him Washington, but the great Virginian held slaves. This man risked his empire rather than permit the slave trade in the humblest village of his dominions. You think me a fanatic, for you read history, not with your eyes, but with your prejudices. But fifty years hence, when Truth gets a hearing, the Muse of history will put Phocion for the Greek, Brutus for the Roman, Hampden for the English, La Fayette for France, choose Washington as the bright, consummate flower of our earlier civilization, then, dipping her pen in the sunlight, will write in the clear blue, above them all, the name of the soldier, the statesman, the martyr, Toussaint L’Ouverture.”

If his father had not been killed there would have been no "Detroit Red". "Detroit Red" was a fatherless byproduct of the elimination of Earl Little, which led to the derailed path of life that Malcolm was destined for. Malcolm's father was a GREAT man. He would've made the man Malcolm became plus some.
Crime data about blacks reflects bias, not reality. Why aren’t the white people on the Epstein list being prosecuted? The crime statistics are automatically off.
Another story of Black Men who fought against the system of white racism. They don’t like talking about Black strength and resilience. Many of our ancestors fought back and survived their oppression. Always have. Always will.

The stele of Sehetepibre advised the ruling pharaoh that it "is working men who create that which exists; one lives on what comes from their hands. If they are lacking, poverty prevails...Do not make the field laborer wretched with taxes..."
The concept of leadership which developed during the 12th dynasty of Egypt was that the pharaoh had a duty to care for the interests of the masses. This was an expectation placed on leadership throughout Africa. This is a tradition which we must get back to.
SELECTIVE EMPATHY: caring about suffering only when it fits your own biases, identity, or political side.
A person with selective empathy shows concern for certain groups, victims, or situations while ignoring or excusing harm to others. This right here 👇🏾
They had the Epstein vote on the same day as the Charlie Kirk assassination.
The vote was 51-49, with almost all Republicans voting to stop the release and all Democrats voting to move forward. Two Republicans, Josh Hawley and Rand Paul, sided with the Democrats.
My enemies in America have done much to hold me up to public contempt and ridicule, but have failed. They believe that the only resort is to stir up national prejudice against me, in that I was not born within the borders of the United States of America.

What made the Cosby Show so great and culturally rich without a single epsiode of 🦝, was because Bill Cosby hired child and racial identity expert psychologist Dr. Alvin Poussaint to watch over every episode to ensure that each script and take was on code behavior
The "educated Negroes" have the attitude of contempt toward their own people because in their own as well as in their mixed schools Negroes are taught to admire the Hebrew, the Greek, the Latin and the Teuton and to despise the African.
