One last Malcolm X post…

Just because Malcolm X and hatred came up, as it inevitably does, I thought I'd post one last video in which he addresses this issue.



And just to get another perspective, here is a piece from an interview with the great American writer James Baldwin. Here he analyzes why Malcolm X has such an impact on young people. Baldwin once referred to Malcolm X as "the gentlest man" he ever met, but that doesn't mean that Baldwin agrees with Malcolm X's message, as you can see here. The interviewer is Kenneth Clark and the interview was done in 1963, during the height of the Civil Rights Movement.
