Is Malcolm X Racist?

if they are racial epitaphs, you are being racist...

how is this difficult to understand?

In defense only for example if a white guy came up to me and calls me a paki bastard and then I'll call him a white bastard in return.

That has been the case sometimes

ok, so you are responding to racism with racism...

this is the very basic concept of "two wrongs don't make a right" or "pot calling the kettle black"

I don't see nothing wrong with using racism to fight racism

How can a person be mad and pc at the same time?

Thank god I live in a multicultural nation like the UK because I feel safer living in an Asian area than any other place in London

What's the point of calling your nation multi-cultural if the only race/culture you feel comfortable with is your own?

I'm very neutral on who I approach so no I'm not racist

Not anyone just those who preach hatred toward non whites because they don't have blond hair, blue eyes, light skin etc

Nah, really anyone can potentially be racist, and racism doesn't mean that you favour white skinned, blue eyed, blonde people, that is just one form of racism among many.

Come on, I refuse to believe you're that stupid as your post suggest.

Do you really believe only "white" people (as define by you above) can be racist?

hey, I guess I'm not white...

That's what I was figuring but I had read something that seemed extremely anti-white, I'll have to watch that film 'X' is sounds pretty interesting.

If we go by "X" the movie, which afaik was fairly accurate, his trip to Mecca, where he worshiped with people of all races, was hugely transformative in his opinion of whites and racial integration.

Also, there is a line where a white girl asks him what she, as a non-racist white person can do to help his cause, to which X says "nothing", sort of indicates that he was only preaching against white establishment and not individual white people.

The problem is, X was alive in a time where all the establishment was essentially "white". To fight the battle he was fighting, some aknowledgement of this would have been necessary, and in a way, that does make him "anti-white", but only in so far as whites controlled the systems that legitimately work to oppress black people. We could probably call this "racism" in a philosophical sense, but I think there is very little evidence that this extended to X's opinion of white people in general.

There are good interviews of him on youtube, where he seems to have little problem discussing with white people, though his confrontational nature does come out.

awesome film

He means pot calling the kettle African American.

He's old school.

His family was killed by the KKK, jeez, no wonder where all the hatred comes from.

Why'd he get wrapped up in that stupid religious extremism though?

As we all know, all muslims are extremists.

Hiya. I've always sort of wondered about this; X was around in a time of severe racism towards blacks (ie jim crow), but his views towards the whites from what I've learned are quite racist themselves.
I honestly don't know enough about him to know if he generalised all whites as being the 'white devil'.

I know he fought against the whole inequality thing but was his ultimate goal inequality ie no whites?

Yes, there is no question that Malcolm X is racist. You know how i know that..,because of his actions and his hate rhetoric. Is Malcolm X racist..., 😂

Notice Chapter 8 where he says ancient Egypt was a "Nordic Desert Empire".
