Malcom X Extremism

To Malcolm X

            You are right America is preaching one thing doing the complete opposite.  America looks down on black people but says that we are equals. America has passed laws that have had no effect on the condition of black people in America. But with all of that being said we still live in America all of its wrongs we need to help make them right. I would like to say that I also agree with you that America does practice its own form of extremism. The government is spreading propaganda through the news to make them appear different than they really are. Black people are definitely being targeted for simply trying to attain the rights they deserve. The crimes against blacks that are committed by whites do go unpunished. These are all horrible injustices that no man should have to face. These are truths that should be truly false.

            Drastic times do not always cause for drastic measures. However that goes against the adage that two wrongs don’t make a right. All because America decides to violate the rights of others doesn’t mean we should do the same. There are people in power who want to fight against the cause of civil rights to make those laws null and void. There are southern politicians that want to keep blacks exactly where they are and never let them rise up or meet their full potential. But it is not right to go and start our own fights just because they have offended us. Extremism is understandable that we do need to show that we are tired of not having our needs meet. However if we use the same tactics that they use we are no better than they are. Your anger is just and you are tired of waiting on a change that seems like it will never come but don’t think out of anger think out of clarity and channel that into a calmer sense of protesting.
