Note: I had set up the video response to be by my approval, just to weed out any spam. However, in the time this video has been up, I've gotten a few responses, none of which were spam, and yet youtube won't give me the option to allow them. So I've set it up for automatic approval, hopefully that will work. If you've submitted a video response before and it didn't go through, try again.
Honest... powerful arguably the greatest muslim of the twentieth century

To silence the people that "We the People" refers to. And if you believe that James Earl Ray, Sirhan Sirhan or Lee Harvey Oswald were alone in their actions, whatever group responsible has succeeded. We know Talmadge Hayer wasnt alone.

-Become more politically articulate
-Support Black ownership in Black communities to control the economy in Black communities
Just to start.
***PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE plz stop sending me pm's asking for Malcolm X audio tapes...I extended that to ONE person.
Plz stop...you know who you are
he wasnt talking about the blacks in the crowd he was talkin about the upper class bougeois blacks and middle class that were beggin for jobs from the racist cracker in the south
instead of begging these crackers for jobs we need to create businesses for blacks
Smokey 1424, in all do respect, I disagree with the statement of you saying that "Malcolm never told them what to do!". Malcolm X was a "black nationalist" who emphasized on Black Americans restoring African culture, re-education of the accomplishments and contributions that Africans made in history. Malcolm X also elaborated on Blacks across the world controlling the politics and economics their community. In conclusion, do your homework before you make judgements on this great man.
