- We may not have slavery anymore but at least we have the minimum wage!

- Nobody knows the trouble I've... been slapped on the wrist for.

- Obviously, God favors white guys.

- Even if I hadn't inherited millions, I'd still be successful. It's in my genes.

9. The Effect of the Pilgrimage
Sat Mar 15, 2014, 07:22 PM
Mar 2014

...
Every one of the thousands at the airport, about to leave for Jeddah, was dressed this way. You could be a king or a peasant and no on e would know. Some powerful personages, who were discreetly pointed out to me, had on the same thing I had on. Once thus dressed, we all had begun intermittently calling out "Labbayka! (Allahumma) Labbayka!" (Here I come, O Lord!) Packed in the plane were white, black, brown, red, and yellow people, blue eyes and blond hair, and my kinky red hair -- all together, brothers! All honoring the same God, all in turn giving equal honor to each other. . . .

That is when I first began to reappraise the "white man." It was when I first began to perceive that "white man," as commonly used, means complexion only secondarily; primarily it described attitudes and actions. In America,"white man" meant specific attitudes and actions toward the black man, and toward all other non-white men. But in the Muslim world, I had seen that men with white complexions were more genuinely brotherly than anyone else had ever been. That morning was the start of a radical alteration in my whole outlook about "white" men.

There were tens of thousands of pilgrims, from all over the world. They were of all colors, from blue-eyed blonds to black-skinned Africans. But we were all participating in the same ritual displaying a spirit of unity and brotherhood that my experiences in America had led me to believe never could exist between the white an d the non-white...America needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem. Throughout my travels in the Muslim world, I have met, talked to, and even eaten with people who in America would have been considered white -- but the "white" attitude was removed from their minds by the religion of Islam. I have never before seen sincere and true brotherhood practiced by all colors together, irrespecitve of their color.
...


Malcom X after his return from Mecca, Here.

It ain't the color of the skin. It's what's in their head. It may be until we address that, we are widening the divide, teaching hate. Though I am sure there are other views, and I am quite sure becoming a Muslim isn't necessary to learning to respect others, to watch the change in his thinking from fervent black nationalism to cooperation is very interesting. And while threats were made against him before this, he wasn't murdered until he began to speak in this way, which may or may not be a coincidence.

OTOH - "Too damn dumb to realize Im being used by rich people, not black people" is instructive beyond belief. Regardless of skin color.
