Malcolm X's beliefs incorporated into teaching

I never said Lincoln was equivalent to Malcolm. I said their ideas should be taught.
Just as people should be taught about Hamilton and Jefferson, though they were diametrically opposed on every issue.
Calling Malcolm a "hate monger" is a bit duplicitous given that he was speaking in a time when rampant white racism terrorism as well as intense institutional apartheid was practiced against blacks in the USA.
Do you get all livid and spew insults against people like Orville Faubus, George Wallace, Lester Maddox, etc., the Southern white racist leaders who tried to stop de-segregation? Were they "hate mongers"?

Oh yeah, I do seem to remember some historical footnote about the US getting involved at the very end and then going on and on and on about it ever since. Get it right fella, the US was largely pro Nazi - IBM made it's money from supplying hitler the machinery they needed to count and gas the jews for god sake. Do they teach you that in your american fantasy history classes? Do you know anything about your own nation? Thank god my US born daughter is in the UK getting a real education.

On behalf of the American people, please let me apologize for our participation in saving your limey asses in WWII.

Last time I checked, IBM wasn't a nation, IBM wasn't a government. Do they teach your fetid spawn that IBM=US?

There are recorded documents that stated that he was beginning to doubt the extremist monster view that he had developed. The assassination took place shortly thereafter.
Like any rational person, I hate his views, but I respect the fact that he was starting to rethink his position. Unfortunately his homeboys got to him before he had a chance to turn around.
I guess his doubt of his extremist views does not serve the militant black agenda. That's why they got rid of him.

Yes, indeed, a better place without him.
And to think that there are circles out there who consider him a "historical figure".
What a joke!

<quoted text> he is a historical figure, like Hitler or Pol Pot, a man famous for his evil heart and hatred.

I totally agree with this post. He had reason to be militant in a time of oppression.
