“Sitting at the table doesn’t make you a diner. You must be eating some of what’s on that plate. Being here in America doesn’t make you an American. Being born here in America doesn’t make you an American.”
~Malcom X
[The Ballot or the Bullet,” speech, April 3 1964,]
You can’t hate the roots of the tree without ending up hating the tree. You can’t hate your origin without ending up hating yourself. You can’t hate the land, your motherland, the place that you come from, and we can’t hate Africa without ending up hating ourselves
~Malcom X
What Malcolm actually said about Africa. Instead of lying on Malcolm, wouldn't it make more sense for these people to use historical figures who actually share their ideology?
"You can’t hate the roots of the tree without ending up hating the tree. You can’t hate your origin without ending up hating yourself. You can’t hate the land, your motherland, the place that you come from, and we can’t hate Africa without ending up hating ourselves...
The Black man in the Western Hemisphere—North America, Central America, South America, and in the Caribbean—is the best example of how one can be made, skillfully, to hate himself that you can find anywhere on this earth"
~Malcom X
"A lie told once is questioned. A lie repeated often enough becomes accepted. And once it becomes 'common sense,' people stop investigating it. That is how deception survives."
~ Malcolm X
Trump is the best US president possibly ever because he is the embodiment of true American values since the beginning of time, he just doesn’t care to pretend that everything he does is for the greater good of the world, instead of advancing America’s interests.
@roxy_surfball@hlangzitoo@HarleyShah You’re Black. You live in South Africa. And yet your words scream white supremacist fear: blaming Mandela for borders, talking about “rape capital” like you’re repeating far-right talking points in Europe or the U.S. Maybe you a white hiding behind a black account. Pathetic
