    "Who taught you to hate what God gave you?" OMG that gave me chills. My whole soul felt that.

    As an Indian, i find Malcolm X to be true treasure. Most of my people (me included) are still colonized in their minds. His words are timeless. Respect ✊

    I can't believe this man was only 39 year old when he was gunned down. What an amazing human being !

    Malcolm wasn't here to play. He was our Manhood.

    He wasn't a racist at all. He spoke the truth. Most times the truth ain't pretty.

    I'm white European and I'll tell you right now that I have more respect for this man than any politician.

    Malcolm X spoke the truth then and his words are still relevant as ever today.

    There were so many lies told to me as a child. I was taught to fear this man. He is actually brilliant.
  • Malcolm X was one of the greatest men to have ever lived. By far the most eloquent speaker I have ever heard.
