Malcom X is the True Hero of African Americans

Malcom X born Malcom Little was a very deviant youth with a criminal out look on life in his young years. Then when he was locked up for robbery in prison some time he had a revelation always knowing that the treatment of black folks back then was just criminal injustice. His father introduced him to Marcus Garvy and his back to Africa philosophies.

While in prison he was introduced to a black version of the Muslim religion. It was his sort of say initiation into real manhood and becoming responsible for his actions. While in prison he wrote out the dictionary by hand for the sole purpose of learning to use the same tools that the same people in power were using to distort things to their will.

Malcom X bought things a little further and was far more dangerous to civil rights leaders than he was to the establishment. I think that Malcom X was far more respected than MLK.

Malcom X's basic philosophy was lets clean up our own communities no government help, No welfare, no interference from groups other than the black folks themselves. He was for black owned schools, black owned businesses, black owned towns, etc. He saw that we were basically not going to go anywhere taking hand outs from the same people who oppressed us for years.

That from Malcom's point of view we need to do a lot more work on each other, and that we have to get rid of the true oppressors of the black people. Them so-called civil rights leaders, I would like to say that it is not because of our oppressors that we are still in this bad state. That it was our own people who sold us out.

My hero truly being Malcom X. He will one day sit upon that seat of famous people like Albert Einstein, Mozart, Michael Angelo, and so on. Because he was ahead of his time. In this corrupt world all the wrong heroes are put forth to the public. One day after all these evil people disappear. We will see who were the true heroes of this century, the true contributors.
