'It's unrealistic for a black boy to have aspirations of being a lawyer" That's hurt me deep. Imagine how many Black people's dreams were killed because of such treatment and racism.
And never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare [in horror]. (14:42) Racing ahead, their heads raised up, their glance does not come back to them, and their hearts are void. (14:43) And, [O Muhammad], warn the people of a Day when the punishment will come to them and those who did wrong will say, "Our Lord, delay us for a short term; we will answer Your call and follow the messengers." [But it will be said], "Had you not sworn, before, that for you there would be no cessation? (14:44) And you lived among the dwellings of those who wronged themselves, and it had become clear to you how We dealt with them. And We presented for you [many] examples."(14:45) And they had planned their plan, but with Allah is [recorded] their plan, even if their plan had been [sufficient] to do away with the mountains. (14:46) So never think that Allah will fail in His promise to His messengers. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Owner of Retribution. (14:47) __________________________________________________________________________________ They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah refuses except to perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it.

“There is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab, or of a non-Arab over an Arab, and no superiority of a white person over a black person or of a black person over a white person, except on the basis of personal piety and righteousness.” Prophet Muhammed (ﷺ).
It’s honestly disgusting that the school system has never told me about this man. Being a white dude, the only way I really found out about Malcolm was through hip hop and this video. What a joke
The Spike Lee movie with Denzel is how I discovered Malcom X. As a highschool student at the time, I was taken a back. Denzel's performance should have won best actor for his portrayal.
It’s the myth that Malcolm = Violence and MLK = Non-violence. In fact, Malcolm only advocated self defense, while MLK actually instigated violence in a more direct way than Malcolm ever did.
Peaceful protest is celebrated by the people who control you. Because peaceful protest does very little to change anything without harder forms of protest. That's the problem.
I will say in his time I was a southern young man, that looked on Malcolm as a threat to my race and my country. Now almost 82 disabled I listen to his words and believe in him. I would have been proud if somehow we could have been friends discussing philosophy, and the problems that still exist. The 60's was a time of revolution in America and murder. Malcolm, Martin, Bobby, John and others murdered for their beliefs. Rip Malcolm your words still are being heard.
It's sad. As they taught kids racism was normal. Everyone that doesn't look like you is dangerous and unnatural. At the end of the day we are just people. Different people yes but still people. All that time they taught you to hate , all the potential friendships and experiences. Robbed by hate. I'm glad you saw through the foolishness
@@kev1593Malcom X taught racism too, just the other way around. He was a violent man who had a deep hatred for all whites, no matter who they were or what they had done.
If you are not careful,the media will have you hating the people who are being oppressed,and loving the people who are doing the oppression. (Malcolm X)
I grew up in a Hispanic household born to Mexican parents. I remember reading about him when I checked out library book. An english teacher passed by and asked why I was reading about a black racist he hated everybody. I asked my parents if he was a racist my mother replied " He was very proud of his people and his ethnicity and he was not going go apologize for out. He and his people went through very many bad situations. We have no right to criticize him because we have not walked in his shoes". Then handed a tortilla with refried beans.
The good thing is MLK realized this and changed his philosophy. The last few years of his life, he was more aligned with the thoughts of Malcolm. This change along with the quest to gain economic power for our people got him killed. Look up MLK the Dream the turned into a Nightmare.
MrTee12 from this video alone is proved it was actually the other way around. He starting being more aligned to Martins philosophy. When he became a Sunni his whole perspective changed. He spoke about the white Muslims that he met on the pilgrimage. He also had a dream of an integrated world. His philosophy towards violence and turning the other cheek had changed. Said so right here in the video.
@@jhenf.9987 Malcolm Was Always for Economic Reparations Justice for the Descendants of American Slaves. This is what Martin caught on to later, and that is why the U.S. government killed Martin. Malcolm never adopted Martin's Turn the other cheek non-violent approach.
@roger johnson I pity you sir for indeed you have been truly misguided, if Prophet Jesus is here he would tell you to worship Allah for indeed we muslims are more christian then you chritians yourselves, Jesus says to abstain pork and and wine, we follow suit while most of you Christians don't. Jesus says not to potray him on an image (in fear people would worship him) and unfortunately you did the opposite of what he told you not to do while we obeyed his commands. Just one of many things Prophet Jesus says not to do and yet you Christians disobeyed.
Today when the Palestinians still fighting for their freedom and facing genocides, I wish leaders like this still existed. Leaders then were truly our hero and taught us things, it's a shame that we can't say the same with today's leaders.
My it’s time to all to lead each other…if that makes sense but stop wanting old things for new problems. It’s about how you think of the problem really.
"No matter how much respect and recognition whites show towards me, As far as I am Concerned, As long as that same respect and recognition is not shown towards everyone of our people in this country, It doesn't exist for me", A brilliant and remarkable answer. May Allah have mercy on our Brother Malcolm x.
So what do want? Us to kneel. I'm 35, grew up in group homes. Lived in em with blacks, went to public school with blacks, partied with blacks, dated blacks, fought em and turned around shook hands with blacks! So I ask all of y'all this as a matter of fact again, what do you want? Us all to kneel?
Radical, we all come from bad fuxked up backgrounds with feelings of doubt, worthlessness, and anger but you know what, it made me stronger and more caring. Acting radical and hateful towards a generation that aren't and never have been those people. And honestly if I'm somewhere and I don't like it I leave!

*he was so ahead of his time and so sharp & clever with the way he spoke and applied his knowledge for others,* RIP MALCOLM X ONE OF THE GREATESTS TO EVER LIVE.
He wasn’t ahead of his time. He was exactly when he was needed. He wasn’t born like that, his conditions are experienced are what made him him. The reason why you won’t find many like him and like other great men, is because back then being educated and smart was appreciated, reading books and literature was the best thing you could do to make yourself a noteworthy person. These days you judge a celebrity by his followers count.
His message was for EVERYONE. His message was LOVE. Courage to fight anyone and anything for the TRUTH comes from LOVE. He was the bravest warrior of LOVE.
What a good man he is during his lifetime, He’s a Mentor, Inspiration and a Teacher to everyone. May Allah grant him Jannatul Firdaus and keep him safe 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@Galactus2018 You literally sound like a white supremacist. You realize that their are no biological differences between races and that race is just a social construct. This is not being PC, its just common sense.
English 101, is a entry level English course in Americans most community colleges, it teaches Malcolm X biography as a research paper what students reflects from his lifestyle and integrity. He was one of the reformer figures still exist who had not been a political office nor elected leader by the people. However, in USA all congressmen have it, but Mr. X's consistency leadership speeches worthy many ways that recorded spontaneous without spacewords like huha ha-ha most incompetent leaders louded during their speaking!
I always felt that Malcolm X should of never aired out Elijah Muhammad's dirty laundry to the public it should of stayed Islam's business , no matter how you fell about someone in your organization you should never share that with outsiders or your enemy just simply separate yourself from that party. And keep your argument among your fellow or ex fellow members. because it makes the whole organization look bad to outsiders even you.
@Truth Hurts You can reveal the truth , just among the ones that matter , not the white media , besides what he aired out didn't just shame the honorable Elijah Muhammad it shamed the whole organization .
He was so self-aware that you could not trick him into anything, So fearless, so brave at a time when racism was at its peak in a country like America. If there ever was going to be a time machine, Malcolm X is among the VERY FEW people I would love to go back in time for.
TheKnowledgeGod it was worst around this time because they were jus coming of slavery and the white people didn’t think the blacks were as valuable as them during slavery it was just a normal thing.
Smartest man since Jesus. He was an unstoppable force of wisdom and truth. His only weakness was having a mortal human body. I cry for you Malcolm and I am inspired by you. If only we had a fraction of your courage how much better the world could be.
he associated with a brutal dictator in Fidel Castro, who enslaved, imprisoned, and killed his people for decades, and associated himself with the PLO, who created modern day islamic terrorism. Yeah, he was a swell guy.
@ioiio ihb I don't believe in any of our religions because they were created by primitive men. An infinitely intelligent God would never get angry or jealous, he would just have perfect understanding and compassion.
i had a teacher described the "Autobiography of Malcolm X" as the most American book you can read. you watch a man's journey spiritually, socially and even physically.
Malcolm X was one of the greatest and most influential iconic leaders in world history for generations of all time - a great tribute from all over the world for his incredible achievements for the civic rights of poor people
@@no.charms1556 He was not. He was battling racism within the system. You can't battle racism within the law with flowers and rainbows, you have to try your hardest, even if it might've made you look like a bad person in the future generations. The comments he made on white people were at a time when America was still a racist place that was unjust for black people. In the Nazi era, it was acceptable to call the Germans the worst names. However, nowadays those comments are portrayed as "racist" which is very true because time plays a role in what you say. I'm no SJW I'm just a person who happens to have common sense, which is something you seem to sadly not have. Malcolm X would only be a racist if he was advocating for less rights for White people. White people at that time were advocating for less rights for Black people. It really makes you think, it's not that hard to figure out who's a racist here.
@@no.charms1556 Also whenever he mentions "the White man" he refers to the white people in power that oppressed the people of color. It doesn't take you rocket science to figure that out but it takes you every bit of ignorance you have within you not to.
I can see why he's a divisive historical figure. He rejected anything that had to do with white America in favor of Islam, while Islamic empires went through Africa murdering and enslaving. He wasn't very consistent in that regard.
@@BekltuvanetkoThomas Hagan is a former member of the Nation of Islam and one of the assassins who killed Malcolm X in 1965 Everything that Malcolm did was not irrelevant he was a American black man who fought for justice for black people. Muslims pulled the trigger that ended his life.
The legend never dies. I may exaggerate if I say that this man's personality reminds me of Omar Ibn Alkhatab, but really this is how I see him. All I have to say is I pray Allah to open the doors of Janah for him and to bless him. Amin
@@botanicalitus4194 what a shame to say something like that!!! If you are really a true Muslim you would never speak like that about one of the greatest sahaba. Learn who is Omar bn Khatab first then talk about him
This man knew in his heart of hearts he was going to die and still kept fighting. He discovered the truth and was willing to die for it. He's in heaven for sure, or as my muslim brothers and sisters say, Jannah. May god/allah bless you brother.
In Islam there is a saying of the prophet that say, "speak the truth, even if its against your family, even if its against yourself" Malacolm X is a great example of that. Even though I am muslim, I don't know if I would be strong enough but I aspire to be one day.
they only taught MLK and his " peaceful " ways and depicted Malcom X as a violent person but he wasnt, they depict him as this because the school system knew that if they taught us the methods Malcom X used, we wouldve riotted a long time ago, and we wouldve overthrown the government, and the system that was built to oppress us wouldnt exist anymore
@MOBA EXE CUTE not necessarily, that would be a secondary reason. The first reason, i think, is that he unified the black people. And that was seen as a big threat. This man has been demonized to the point that even some black people hate him.
"The Greatest Man ever born in the land of the Native Americans" My late father said that after meeting Malcolm X in Birmingham England just days before he was assassinated in NewYork
@@abdulazizabdullah6497 I will always love Muhammad Ali but even he would tell you he is no Malcolm X Malcolm X tried his best to persuade Muhammad Ali to leave that racist Fake Islam of the NOI To his dying day Muhammad Ali regretted the day he betrayed Malcolm X
Thank you for sharing this. I've always held a back burner interest in Malcolm X, but always felt there was a massive amount of disinformation surrounding his history. Wow, what a tragic and traumatizing life he experienced. This video has inspired me to learn more about him and his ideals. Thanks again.
I'm white, period. I respect malcom much more than even mlk jr. He may have not been of my race, but I respect that he never lost sight of who he was or who he was fighting for.
@NotOften Told I do agree that so much of this racist stuff does continue in my country. I can't pinpoint it to trump though, because honestly in my opinion he is doing a good job for our country. He has a back bone, speaks his truth, and goes with it. From what I've seen he has yet to lie about a campaign promise. He has at least attempted them all and those are what got him the office. The racial divide we feel in his presidency is strictly because he was the president next in line after our very first black president. This would have happened with any white man as his successor. I can remember George bush jr. having more accusations as a racist during his reign as governor in texas and him proving just that with his attitude toward the victims of Katrina during his presidency
@@Hayanomie I can agree to disagree. Trump isn't our most politically correct leader and has his faults. Bush proved his racism with his failure to act on Katrina and maybe I just dont keep up with the news, but I haven't heard of a diaster or national crisis trump hasn't acknowledged or sent proper help to based on geographic location or the racial demographic
I wish I could've met him in person! Just to hear him talk on these videos is so powerful, I could only imagine hearing him in person! Much love Bro Malcolm! Rest In Power!
"Eventually my mother suffered a complete breakdown, and the court orders were finally signed. They took her to the State Mental Hospital at Kalamazoo. My mother remained in the same hospital at Kalamazoo for about 26 years. My last visit, when I knew I would never come to see her again-there-was in 1952. I was twenty-seven. My brother Philbert had told me that on his last visit, she had recognized him somewhat. "In spots" he said. But she didn't recognize me at all. She stared at me. She didn't know who I was. Her mind, when I tried to talk, to reach her, was somewhere else. I asked, "Mama, do you know what day it is?" She said, staring, "All the people have gone." I can't describe how I felt. The woman who had brought me into the world, and nursed me, and advised me, and chastised me, and loved me, didn't know me. *It was as if I was trying to walk up the side of a hill of feathers."* -Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X
Iam a white person residing in Australia! Malcolm X is simply the best Orator that ever breathed Air n to add to this never lied once ! Told it how it rally is!!
Then you must love our Prophet Muhammad pbuh speech. Please make a research about him without bias and with the right source. You will know who’s the greatest man of all time ❤️
In Saudi we have studied his story three times . In Elementary + High school + and again at Med School . I did two presentations about this great man. And I do believe white people will always try to hide anything that could promote Islam as the true religion that came from god and it’s the best way of life. But they will promote fake words such as love etc .. to preserve their Privilege and the continuation of the arrogant behavior of sticking with a lie . At the end there no different between no one either your white or black or Arab .. whatever. The only thing will count is your appreciation to Allah ( God ) who gave us the eyes and mind etc.. by believing on him and worshiping him and stick to the principles that being sent by every prophet along the line lastly Mohammed. Every action , words , or a look will be counted . Wish to you and everyone who reads this comment a life full of satisfaction and an end will made use forget that we ever lived such a life full of all these nonsense. Best regards.
I've learned about Malcolm X on my own, but admire him even more after watching Godfather of Harlem. Great man! Disappointed that the nation of Islam deserted him.
Malcolm transcended like no other. That was a man who only comes along every 500 years. Consider yourself blessed to have lived on the same planet as this amazing man did.
the most eloquent blackman who walk his talk and brought the black struggles at the very living rooms of the american whites. he sealed his ideas with his own blood. LONG LIVE MALCOLM!
Malcolm X one of the greatest iconic revolutionary leaders. A wordsmith. He was a warrior. He was bold, charismatic, intelligence, realistic and aware of the conditions black people faced. His sentiments against oppression is still relevant till this day. God bless his soul🕊️🙏🏾
"No matter how much respect, no matter how much recognition whites show toward me...as long as that same respect and recognition is not shown toward every one of our people...it doesn't exist for me." I love this quote. It demonstrates selflessness and it's the biblical wisdom of "how you treat the least of these, you treat me" (matt. 25) .
By "it be ur own people " are you referring to the people who assassinated Malcom X? If so, it is obvious those people were merely vessels and used to carry out the assassination so it seems that white people had nothing to do with it.
@@pilot4910 true the Nation of Islam did order the hit. However, by that time the FBI had infiltrated both malcoms personal circle and the Nation of Islam. They had wiretaps, informants, everything. The days leading up to Malcolm murder he was stalked and aggravated vigorously with people calling his hotel room and his home with death threats. He had his house set on fire with his entire family inside just days before. The FBI saw the hit coming and intentionally let it happen. Killing two birds with one stone.
It wasn’t his own people it just got exposed that the CIA did it and framed his so called killers, read more about his case and even one black officer who knew about what they’ve been doing to malcolm from poisoning him in 1964 but they didn’t succeed and then finally killing him and framing his people and regretted not saying something even tho he acknowledged he didn’t have the power at that time, and on the day of the assassination the police were around waiting for the black men who they gave the weapons to to shoot malcolm or they will put him in jail so they forced him to kill him then when he did it they got inside to take him and the others and framed them and one of the people who they framed was actually at home nursing , and the documents just got out last year, search about it ,and his daughters now are trying to get justice for him
I remember in high school, one old man asked me what I'd like to do after school. I smiled and replied " I want to be a pilot" Then he chuckled at me and said "You're like a boy dreaming of becoming a ship's Captain in a desert.". Was hurt to the core
I just came to know Malcolm x about a month ago and since then he has become my ideal. I have read his book which is amazing and gives more insight about this legend. I am very happy that trt world tried to honour this great men
They had some Great Leaders like Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Tecumseh, but sadly they weren't much Educated or aware of their surroundings like Malcolm or MLK
@@umaransari9765 You are mostly right my man, though Russell Means was very well spoken , and clear headed among many other great gifts bestowed on my brother. Not very close to the extent of brother Malcom X and brother MLKJR.... Native prid.....human pride I mean👍
I love how he turned his life around and became a leader. Not many people can do that given the era he was born and circumstances. R.I.P Malcom X your legacy lives on💓
May ALLAH have mercy on you Malik al Shabazz. You were and are and will be the greatest speaker, Muslim, freedom fighter, a leader and honest man in America. May we meet again in next life. May ALLAH have mercy on you my brother. I miss you so much. We need people like you in today's America.
Did you all know that the life of this man has guided more young white Brothers to the faith of ISLAM than ever before. The irony of that is absolutely phenomenal. His emphasis about ISLAM being the cure for all of Humanity, has been heard by many. That's why I'm MUSLIM today Myself. May all Mighty ALLAH bless father brother MalcolmX Ameen.
Galactus2018 god said he test those he loves the most that Muslims will suffer in this life and go through hard ship and that those who do not believe in his message will suffer in hell you truly do not understand Islam watch (merciful servants) for all your questions
@Galactus2018 first of all the reason muslims suffer is because Allah is just if you care for your self and improve your self then Allah will help you , thats why in Islam in order to succeed you have to take the reasons that will help you succeed while acknowledging that Allah granted them to you , secondly the prophet didn't punish the people of taif when they throw stones on him and he didn't punish the people of mecca who insulted and hit him on daily basis but when he returned to mecca he didn't kill any one of them and told them 'go you are free ' he didn't punish the killer of his uncle when he said that he wanted to become Muslim that is history with no source claiming other wise , now lets talk about the hadith First there are many hadiths that are lies that were linked to the prophet, the scholers of hadith classified all hadiths long ago so only sahih hadiths are trusted to have been narated on the prophet ( peace be apon him ) this hadith is sahih that a Jewish man came to the prophet and asked him to return money that the prophet had lended before the time he was going to return them to him and when the prophet told him that the time still hadn't come he said to him you "ban abd el motalb" (the prophet's tribe ) are least trustworthy if all , such insult for medieval arabs was worthy of death, when the sahaba (prophet's disciples) wanted to kill him the prophet told them that they should stand with justice regardless of the people and gave the money to the jew and forgave him the jew beame a muslim because he was testing the prophet's forgiveness to make sure he was the final prophet , this is a proven true hadith you want to discard it and believe false ones this is up to you but don't claim to know hadith then thirdly What is your religion or are you an atheist because from your first comment that you aren't a Christian
There's nothing wrong with being a nationalist and Malcolm X is a nationalist based on pure definition. The raw definitions are "A person who strongly identifies with their own nation and vigorously supports its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations." & "A person who advocates or supports the political independence of a particular nation or people."
Well technically during his time with the Nation of Islam he was sort of a black nationalist. That was until he had learned of Elijah Muhammad's hypocrisy and went to Mecca where his views were more liberalized. I think being surrounded by Muslims of other races made him more open to coexisting with other races.
As a white person, I so admire Malcolm X and the strong, incredible person he was. Given what had been done to his family, and what he saw happening in his life, I can see his concerns. It is sad that the schools have not really taught us about him. His widow and daughters have continued his legacy. Sad story about his grandson and widow. He warned about the white liberal, media, FBI and CIA-not unlike today. FBI under Hoover seems to have been very questionnable. CIA supposedly followed him on his pilgrimage. He observed - per the movie- how people there treated each other equally no matter their appearnce. He also spoke of the importance of the husband/father in the family.
Im so angry about the fact that im only finding him NOW- at 17 years old, I've never heard his name and MANY other things correlated to black people- in school. Ever.
Elijah Muhammad's views were limited to combating the white man's treatment of black people in America. Malcolm's thirst for knowledge expanded beyond that. Malcolm returned from his pilgrimage to Mecca. Realizing that one does not need to be a racist to combat racism. He is arguably the most underrated leader of this century. He challenged issues that most others were afraid to even tinker with. Because he lived it and spoke from the heart. That is why we won't see another leader like him for generations to come.
I commend the producers and narrator for making such a befitting and representative documentary of this incredible man, especially highlighting the point about him remaining a staunch advocate for Black pride and liberation and for the dismantling of racism.
Ancesotral Fishimun I’m not saying he was racist, but he had slaves and that’s a fact. The whole reason Islam spread early on was through the Prophet’s (I should call him a general or dictator) conquests. Islam has been and always will be a violent religion. That doesn’t mean or Muslims are bad and that doesn’t mean Islam hasn’t helped the world in certain aspects but overall it is a flawed ideology and theology. It is much easier and quicker to disprove than Christianity, which stemmed from Abraham’s (Ibrahim’s) true son, Isaac.
@@providence160 you should learn more about Islam then, since most conquests done by the prophet pbuh were defensive in nature. And Slavery (war prisoners) under sharia is different from the European slavery. I can't write more due to my lack of vocabulary in English and Google translate would fail me here.
They're not gonna teach kids about this man and even if they do I don't think they'll put him in a positive light or truly touch base on what exactly he did
How I came to find out about Malcolm X was when I was in the 8th grade my father had this movie and I watched it and afterwards I asked my father who he was and told me about him.
