I get that. But again, it is still a reaction to getting kicked in the nuts.
"By any means necessary". He was certainly a separatist early on. But late in his life he did come come to the conclusion that we were all in this together. I agree. Late in his life he did understand the futility of us/vs them. But one cannot really blame him for even his early advocacy. Whites were fucking dicks no matter if blacks turned the other cheek or fought back.
If you ‘get it’, then probably shouldn’t refer to people who say Malcolm X advocated violence as ‘idiots’. Since when does being factually correct make someone an idiot?
