    OKAY, so I have been watching the older video footage of Malcolm X's speeches and debates, and OMG I love this guy.

    I was the only white person, in my community college's Afro-American history course, and the only person, white or otherwise, who seemed to know anything about Malcolm X. Needless to say, this was the source of some friendly jokes, between my professor and I.

    You'd probably enjoy his "By Any Means Necessary" speech, which also happens to be his most famous. I have that speech, on a poster, in my room. I also have a Malcolm X t-shirt, which tends to get me a lot of looks, but I don't care. The man had his hate whitey moment, but repented of that a little while, before his assassination.
