Malcolm X- On Self-Knowledge 

Interesting how the interviewer looks. It's as if he's thinking, "This one knows...."

Malcolm had such a way with words and a special way of getting them across in a way that makes them seem to be the truth. Anyone looking for help on improving their oratory and communication skills needs simply to exhaustively view all of Malcolm's preserved speeches.

They don't celebrate him, cause they want continue the same cycle

What's knowledge without action I'm guilty of self hate and bringing my on kind down but it's time for me to break down that wall!!!!!! I love us!!!

“Emancipate yourself from mental slavey, none but ourselves can free our minds” bob rasta marly

One of the best thing a black man/woman can ever have is knowledge of self

Truly a great man

And the issues are worse in 2011/2012. Malcolm's messages are timeless and for all people to adhere to.

This Man Is Feared.. He so powerful they want Malcolm X to vanish that will never happen 👑🎁✨💪🏿

Very articulate man...was not afraid to reflect and change his position later in his life.

White dude facial expression like “ ohh shit their onto us “

It's like he's rhyming.

Malcolm X. Is Still teaching us

Words just as relative today, as they were then.

watching this I remember this part in the movie. It was like Denzel metamorphed into him and became him for the movie rather then just an actor playing a role. Amazing job and really really great film.

Baba Malcolm totally right we must have more know how that keeps us mature and aware.

I love Malcom-X, but I cringe everytime he says, "The Honorable Elijah Muhammad". His speeches after leaving the Nation of Islam were so much more personal and free of outside influence.

2019 wise man malcom x love malcom from sudan

I love Malcolm x amen

"By March 1964, Malcolm X had grown disillusioned with the Nation of Islam and its leader Elijah Muhammad. Expressing many regrets about his time with them, which he had come to regard as largely wasted, he embraced Sunni Islam. After a period of travel in Africa and the Middle East, which included completing the Hajj, he repudiated the Nation of Islam, disavowed racism and founded Muslim Mosque, Inc. and the Organization of Afro-American Unity."

UNITY is everything:)

" Minister Malcolm X is humbly a great man, leader, philosopher, and educator with positive knowledge "!!💯

AMEN!!! And women can learn from this to! xo

Lol! That white man's like please don't😭😂😂

Malcolm X brought me here.

it could all be so SIMPLE.

My favorite black person! Brilliant guy

this is leadership. house and field.

IF YOU CAN THINK, YOU CAN DO.

Europeans and Arabs had Africans chained psychologically and brutally. I loved my brother, Malcolm in fighting my causes, despite he's follows a different religion than myself. I loved my brother, Martin in doing the same and not allowing religion to divide both of us. Both Malcolm and Martin fight for our causes of freedom, despite what they follow spiritually.

Malcolm x spoke facts

Super Awesome Video! I was never accurate in knowing myself until i started using an iPhone app called "myself" by lokesh. It really helped me to understand myself in each important areas of my life like financial, emotions etc and this self-knowledge helped me to re-align myself and be more balanced and productive.

I love it!!!!!

Powerful.

..CHILLS FRom THe TRUTH!!! Wisdom

You define yourself. Therefore, to know who you are for yourself is important. People will identify you based on their knowledge of others and subject you to behaviors and things because of this.

I could listen to him all day, what a motivator for white people as well as black people.

Did not say he did not love Black people. The comparison itself is simply improper in my opinion. You have on one hand two freedom fighters who chose two different paths and you have a poet/rapper/entertainer. Very stark difference.

well he did it!! some real ish right there

"free ourselves from the slave mentality"...sounds just like "emancipate yourselves from mental slavery"...great minds think alike

Very smart man

to my brother

Peace, God, I hear what you're saying about those who are ignorant lack power. I'm so there with you on that. I just would like to add an addition to this intellectual pot of gumbo, if I may... What if knowledge doesn't bring liberty, power, and freedom, but makes man more of a useful slave?

*Our Own Mind* *Has to* *Be Changed* *We have* *To Change* *Our mind* *ABOUT* *OURSELVES* Translation: Rewrite the Narrative

He's absolutely right. But this applies to everyone, regardless of race, who has this "slave mentality" ingrained in them. Whether it's due to trauma, abuse, generational poverty, or some other reason, you can make up your mind to extinguish it and start believing in yourself. Otherwise, you'll be working for someone who's likely not smarter than you, but has a stronger will and more confidence. Worst part: He'll get credit for everything you do.

Malcolm and MLK always spoke of self-reliance. They would be ashamed to see so many people collecting food stamps

I KNOW what they would think because I know what they both have said in the past. I have studied their words and their principles.

Great speech truth. Where will be 2050.

white man face at the end !!! priceless

2024🙏🏿

NO!! its simple information.. informs you! and yes there's a CERTAIN agenda to what education teaches is why it is up to US as a BLACK RACE to give us our own EDUCATIONAL system ECONOMICAL system's, jobs,nation ETC.

I think the problem is that people have forgotten that individuals are supposed to continue the fight when leaders in whatever form they come are killed or no longer able to fight or lead. That is the problem with any movement with particularly charismatic leaders. People have to do their part. In the years since Brother Malcom and Dr. Kings assassinations I can't really say people have. But onward.

2019 This is true spoken words.

Don't pretend to know what either would think. Malcolm x is talking about breaking ones own prejudices about what one can do, not about safety nets.

Appreciate the vid...'subscribed'

amen

Yep.

If you black in said some bad about this dont forget every min of that life saved ours today

🔥❤️

Thats ignorant. Just because a person isnt born in that era doesnt mean they are affected by slavery. The past is still affecting the present.

TRUTH TELLER

You see the evil in the eyes of that white man, lord get him a taste of your Holy Spirit.

Wisdom for the ages.

As a white atheist if someone said that I reminded them of Malcolm X in the way I speak and carry myself it would be the proudest day of my life.

yaawwwn..im not the enemy i'll do my part in helping out.

What's crazy to think is he didn't even make it to 40!

☀️

@1simonmatthews The answer that barely anyone figures about the reason people can't forge a better future for the general human population is that there's something (some people) who obstruct it. Of course, what I just said may be obscure if you lack the knowledge of a particular subject.

Knowledge of self is good. But to say our kind is just perpetuating division. We are all Africans 💯

2pac brought me here :)

Never. True knowledge is transcendant and liberates all souls from bondage. Malcolm X is a good example. He knew he was as good as dead but kept it up because he had the knowledge of the TRUTH and the TRUTH sets all slaves free from the shackles of evil. The soul is liberated praise God!The Apostle Paul is a good example. He was imprisoned and yet saw the grace of the good Lord, and MLK while in jail stabbed in the chest wrote one of the most compelling human rights letters of the last century.

Pause at 1:03. That look on the man's face is far from a happy one. Body language says it all. It looks in fact like he's disgusted by the fact that this "niggruh" has this figured out. Just correlation though, probably nothing of the sort is going through his mind. There are a whole bunch of others who did experience as I explained when he said that though, this you can bet your bottom dollar.

did not accuse u of being one......peace be to you

I think we all need to move above the color of our skin and work for the betterment of mankind in general. Replace every time he says "White Man" with "Rich Man" and I'm with him. Don't take theirs build your own just to clarify, not class warfare but economic growth of the so called lower class.

ok, why don't YOU have the entire clip...? why do I have to go somewhere else to view the entire clip...? mind you, I've already seen the rest, so it begs the question WHY have you (or someone else) chosen to edit it...? granted there's not much more, and while what Malcolm says at the end is highly controversial and polarizing, it is NECESSARY to hear.

Sweet glasses

Tough.

The interviewer just sat there bemused. That look at the end was like a rabbit staring into the headlights of a car. Hadn't a clue

@ time frame #104, there is an interesting person. Does anyone recognize?

you see the look on the interviewer's face at the end *priceless*....like "wtf...these niggaz can think...i can't believe it!!" lmao!! believe it...

lol Bill Hicks in the video responses. All of them are in a much better place :)

Life is one big circle! Or God is! He will give u the truth over and over again until u can actually see it and then you can predict it! U are your own creator of this reality because God gave us free will.

@TheAmazingMorse he is saying the same thing

first top comment update your comment its already 2012...Malcolm x forever..

The sad part is that you really do have many Tupac idolators, in worshipping his dead memory and so out of touch with reality, who are actually stupid enough to believe this. That he was some omniscient prophet, messiah or he would have been some great black leader. When he was just a rapper who died young, so people want to give him more credit than he deserves. Who wanted to live some asinine "thug life" and he ended up paying for it. To say that he was anything other than this is absurd.

Which interview is this? Year?

@SpekStarz i think its more a look of complete concentration and respect because this man was captivating and i get the impression when he spoke people would listen just a shame he was brainwashed for so long

Check out the look on that reporter's face.

Malcolm x thinking of black rules

Well I don't see Malcom the same since Denzel Washington played him. Now I see Denzel. 🤷🏿‍♂️

The 6th letter brought me here

I wonder which economic framework he thought of as not part of the white man. Would it be alternative or would it be based on the same capitalist principles. Not criticising any particular economic model I'm just curious what he thought of as optimal in order to reestablish individuality and empowerment for one's own race.

@Dktunder14 I'm sorry to hear that. The 60's was the best decade for the civil rights movement and they had a mandate from the people to change things...and they did. But it was still not enough. Perhaps someday, another leader can help your people rise up and overthrow their ignorance again...overthrow the lil wayne wannabes and prison culture mentality that is all too pervasive in america. There is so much that has been wasted.

true...the guy was a genius...but the thing is thet all positive persons die in this cold world :S

I'm white also and have nothing but respect for what malcolm x is saying, clearly an intelligent and spiritual man. But were not in the 50's anymore people, times have changed, we all have equality and freedom so statements like 'look at whitey's face' only serve in moving backwards. Peace and love.

@ABSiblings Predominantly however there's men of all colors who's hearts are dead and or are sick with greed, racism and above all disbelief.

Why are YOU here typing instead of attending to YOUR responsibilities? Assuming that you have any.

Im white... and I really like your comment.

Are Malcom x speeches public domain?

You mean after he came from Mecca
