Something I always wanted to read just never got around to it. But just found an unabridged/unedited audiobook version on YT that I'm gonna try and work into my schedule. 20 hrs split in 2 parts
I really never knew much about him other than the typical narrative of him, but learning a lot thru that podcast that I had no idea of, and does not surprise me that he is only painted in the negative light in media.
Another good Malcolm quote. A podcast I listen to uses it as sort of their mantra and plays it every episode
So we won't solve the problem listening to that Uncle Tom Negro, and the problem won't be solved listening to the so-called white liberal. The only time the problem is going to be solved is when a Black man can sit down like a Black man and a white man can sit down like a white man. And make no excuses whatsoever with each other in discussing the problem. No offense will stem from factors that are brought up. But both of them have to sit down like men, on one side and on the other side, and look at it in terms of Black and white. And then take some kind of solution based upon the factors that we see, rather than upon that which we would like to believe.

Its called Moe Factz with Adam Curry. Really does deep dives into the real history of racial issues in US, and ties it in with current events. Long format, some over 4 hrs, but its honesltly the most important discussions that nobody else is having. I've reposted some in Notes on here, but I would suggest starting from beginning if ya check it out. Early episodes are much shorter too so can get a feel of it. All are stand alone episodes, but some build off others as well. Can find it at moefactz.com, his youtube channel, or any podcast app will have it.
More than any other of these things that keep us divided, I truly cannot wrap my head around hating someone because of something as superficial as skin color. Maybe its because I lived in a very ethnically and racially diverse city for 40 yrs and I know nothing other than getting along with all types of people, but in 2023 that people still think like that just is mind boggling, especially in the so-called 'western' nations where we are alleged sooooo civilized.
'And I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change the miserable condition that exists on this earth.”'
Love the whole quote, but this part above always stood out to me. If people could just put petty differences aside, we can win this. And then sort the differences out afterwards. But, divide and conquer still works all too well unfortunately
Will do. Got two physical books I gotta finish first before I dive into this one
