TruckchaseWonderful sift, thank you @enoch
GeeSussFreeKWow, Denzel Washington actually does sound a lot like Malcolm X, the cadence of his speech is almost identical.
GeeSussFreeKLol the ending was something special
chingaleraThe two men met once for about ten minutes-This is no debate, but a well-constructed mashup of respective footage of the two...sift needs a mashup channel.
natalierI lived through that era. I lived through both men's attempts at deriving a semblance of equality for a people which had been MUCH maligned throughout history. I always had and still do have mixed emotions about Malcolm X. I am white. Malcolm sent shivers of inspiration up my spine because of his anger at a condition that deserved MUCH anger. In some ways I believe Malcolm was more effective at harnessing black rage despite the fact that it often turned on itself.
I think I believe that that rage was used as a catalyst for many black people to engage in activism USING the NON violent techniques of Martin Luther King. I believe BOTH served a purpose to ameliorate the black condition and while it is still a work in progress much good has been established. I find them both necessary to rectify wrongs.
