On Malcolm, Writings from the Author
On the Nation of Islam, Malcolm X, and their Teachings of Race
Malcolm was intelligent, experienced, and practical. If you ever read upon his autobiography, or listen to
some of his interviews, speeches, or debates, you will easily see why this is such. He taught freedom, justice,
and equality for the black nation and emphasized self-dependence over accommodationist ways. The
framework of the white man being devils only served as a safeguard against being taken over by
tricknowledge and being destroyed from "within", as was the case with many so-called black leaders
(puppets of the system in reality) and sieged black organizations like the NAACP. The interview at Berkeley
highlights this.
To continue, his beliefs (that is, the teachings of the NOI) were not a physical harm, threat, or anything of
that sort against any racial groups whatsoever. Instead, it was a reactionary one to those of the actual
harmful groups and ideologies (we know of the mass murders and supremacist groups). They were peaceful
to those that were peaceful to them, and rightfully so. He taught separation, not segregation, which means
to withdraw from other racial groups by your own free will, not by any force enacted by a so-called supreme
authority. It is historically documented that the Nation of Islam has interacted with white people before,
specifically other separationist groups. However, this was mostly a political thing that aimed for the
betterment and advancement of black people in the wilderness of North America, first and foremost. And on
this subject, Malcolm already stated that one friendly white in a crowd of bloodsuckers does not give reason
for changing this view of them in general. If one is white and says they're truthful and practice
righteousness, they should have no worries.
On Freedom, Belief, and the Assassination of Malcolm X
Malcolm did not want to have the same freedoms as white Americans, as white Americans are not the
measure of freedom, that escapes the message of his work. What is a real Muslim? There are Sunnis, Shias,
and Sufis who consider themselves real Muslims, and external groups disbelievers. No, rather, it is not an
Islamic sect based on an Arabian culture nor custom, and likewise their doctrines and practices. Who you are
meaning to name when referencing his assassination is Elijah Muhammad, which did not order a hit on
Malcolm. It is true that members of the Nation of Islam murdered him, however, these members were
informants and it is even more detailed that the FBI, CIA, and NYPD had an overwhelming hand in his
unfortunate demise. His early beliefs were prejudice, sure, but once again, there are historical accounts that
would go against your conceived notion of how these beliefs actually functioned. And truly, this teaching
was a helpful guide to unrecognized lengths of the black community during that period.
