    "El-Hajj Malik is a source of pride for African-Americans, Muslims, and Americans in general. His message is simple and clear: I am not a racist in any form whatever. I don't believe in any form of racism. I don't believe in any form of discrimination or segregation. I believe in Islam. "

    This article is a biography of Malcolm X written from an Islamic perspective. This article discussed the legacy of Malcolm X in terms of his contributions to the Islamic faith in America. Malcolm X's perception changes when he witnesses the orthodox Muslim pilgrimage where everyone was free from discrimination. Malcolm X comes to the realization that he is wrong to decree all whites evil and that there are decent white people along with the bad just like any other race.

  • The work tells of Malcolm's rise from a life of crime and sin to deliverance through his conversion to the Nation of Islam, then his repudiation of that sect in favor of a more inclusive vision of world and racial unity.

    This shows that Malcolm X grows from his early ignorance to control his own destiny. His maturity is finally acheived as he grows to make his own decisions. X never looks back from this point on.

    On 21 February 1965, Malcolm X was gunned down in broad daylight at a political rally at the Audobon Ballroom in Harlem, New York. The very embodiment of black power, Malcolm X gave his life for his cause. A freedom fighter, he was determined to achieve his aims - "by any means necessary," as he put it.
  • David D on 09 Jan 12
     
    Malcolm X truly was misunderstood. The influences in his life shaped who he was at certain moments in time, and I don't think the world really got to see the true Malcolm until after her returned from Mecca with a different mindset about whites.

  • White people are not evil by nature, Malcolm now says, but become evil through social conditioning, which means that a white person can choose not to be evil.
  • Evan G on 05 Jan 12
     
    Similar to IM and the BroHood, Malcolm is absolutely hoodwinked by the supposedly honorable Elijah Muhammad. He believes all the clowny doctrine, about the black master race and refuses to see the obvious truth-the Elijah is simply using Malcolm to promote his own hypocritical program. In addition, the site goes on to discuss how Malcolm comes to learn that not all whites are evil by nature; it is the society and the racist atmosphere that push whites to abuse and oppress blacks.

    This article provides information on the Islamic religion. In Malcolm X, the Islamic religion is vital to Malcolm X's journey and ultimate realization. After Malcolm X participates in his pilgrimage, he realizes that he demonizes the white people throughout his life, although there are decent white people among the demons just like any group of individuals. This realizes causes Malcolm X to change his approach to the whole racial problem in America and open him to working with the whites. This article is beneficial to an essay discussing Malcolm X's journey.

  • Conventional wisdom says that while some disparities remain, things have generally advanced for Black people in America and today they are advancing still. People like Obama and Oprah are held up as proof of this.
  • Take employment: Black people remain crowded into the lowest rungs of the ladder...that is, if they can find work at all. While many of the basic industries that once employed Black people have closed down, study after study shows employers to be more likely to hire a white person with a criminal record than a Black person without one, and 50% more likely to follow up on a resume with a “white-sounding” name than an identical resume with a “Black-sounding”2 name. In New York City, the rate of unemployment for Black men is fully 48%
  • Black infants face mortality rates comparable to those in the Third World country of Malaysia, and African-Americans generally are infected by HIV at rates that rival those in sub-Saharan Africa. Overall the disparities in healthcare are so great that one former U.S. Surgeon General recently wrote, “If we had eliminated disparities in health in the last century, there would have been 85,000 fewer black deaths overall in 2000.”5

  • Or education: Today the schools are more segregated than they have been since the 1960s6 with urban, predominantly Black and Latino schools receiving fewer resources and set up to fail. These schools more and more resemble prisons with metal detectors and kids getting stopped and frisked on their way to class by uniformed police who patrol their halls. Often these schools spend around half as much per pupil as those in the well-to-do suburbs
  • People rebelled in hundreds of American cities,25 and the revolutionary stance of leaders like Malcolm X and forces like the Black Panther Party resonated with millions in the streets and campuses of the U.S. Many things fed into this—including, again, the international situation which, as pointed out earlier, was marked by a great upsurge in national liberation struggles and the influence of a socialist China under the leadership of Mao.
  • ome African-Americans were given opportunities to enter college and professional careers, and social programs like welfare, community clinics, and early education programs were expanded. Government spending for training and jobs that would employ Black people increased. Some discrimination was lifted in credit for housing and small businesses. Most of this was in the form of small concessions—not only did this not begin to touch the real scars of hundreds of years of terrible oppression, but discrimination continued in all of these arenas. Nonetheless, these advances were hardly insignificant.
  • To put it another way, the ’60s showed that when masses rose up in rebellion against the powers-that-be, and when that was coupled with a political stance that called out the system as the problem, and when a growing section of that movement linked itself to and learned from the revolutionary movement worldwide…well, when all that happened, you could radically change the political polarization in society

  • Goldthorpe posits three requirements for moving toward a less class-based society. First, the link between individuals' social origins and their schooling must increasingly reflect only their ability. Second, the link between their schooling and their eventual employment must be strengthened by qualifications acquired through education. And third, the link between schooling and employment must become constant for individuals of differing social origins.
  • But it seems clear that higher education does not promote social equality as effectively as it often claims to do and as it is popularly perceived to do.
  • Ellen L on 31 Dec 11
     
    This article discusses how while education is important in achieving social mobility and success; however, economic status and ethnicity prevent it from allowing one to completely overcome these obstacles. This relates to how although Malcolm X was a great student, it was highly unlikely he could enter the position of a lawyer.

    Malcolm X has surprisingly been the praise of African American feminists. His message provides empowerment for women. This is ironic considering Malcolm's view of white women as status symbols during his days with drugs and superficiality.

  • The doctrines of the Nation transformed the chaos of the world behind prison bars into a cosmos, an ordered reality.
  • Malcolm finally had an explanation for the extreme poverty and tragedies his family suffered, and for all the years he had spent hustling and pimping on the streets of Roxbury and Harlem as "Detroit Red."
  • Connor P on 08 Jan 12
     
    This helps show the rebirth of Malcolm X as he begins to understand the world around him and embrace his past. It also explains the theme of chaos vs. order for out of the chaos of prison comes the order of his new principles.

  • oncern for humanization leads at once to the recognition of dehumanization, not only as an ontological possibility but as an historical reality. And as an individual perceives the extent of dehumanization, he or she may ask if humanization is a viable possibility. Within history, in concrete, objective contexts, both humanization and dehumanization are possibilities for a person as an uncompleted being conscious of their incompletion.
  • The oppressors who oppress, exploit and rape by virtue of their power, cannot find in this power the strength to liberate either the oppressed or themselves. Only power that springs from the weakness of the oppressed will be sufficiently strong to free both.
  • But almost always, during the initial stage of the struggle, the oppressed, instead of striving for liberation, tend themselves to become oppressors, or "sub-oppressors." The very structure of their thought has been conditioned by the contradictions of the concrete, existential situation by which they were shaped. Their ideal is to be men; but for them, to be men is to be oppressors.
  • Ellen L on 01 Jan 12
     
    this discusses the archetypal oppression situation. As one group is oppressed, before trying to liberate themselves, they try to conform to the way of their oppressors because they sub-consciously redefine what it is to be a human. We see examples of this in both Malcolm x and Invisible man.

    This biography is very interesting because of the information it contains. Whereas the Alex Haley version had hundreds of pages of Malcolm's hustler stage, this condenses it into one sentence. It also talks more about Malcolm's relationship with MLK, quoting him as saying that he made MLK's job easier because when given the choice they would not prefer his violent attitude over King's peacefulness.
