imagine what life would have been like had Malcolm X and Matin Luther King, Jr. combined their dreams (904 hits)
Could you imagine what life would have been like had Malcolm X and Matin Luther King, Jr. combined their dreams for a greater nation, thoughts anyone?
Both leaders forces combined would have been more powerful, more influential and more effective globally as well as domestically across the African Diaspora. They would've had a practical plan and approach to political, educational, health and economic empowerment and advancement. Overall, the tangible results within our communities would be different: the psychology, nuclear family, employment, net worth, self esteem, entrepreneurship, drug culture, murder rate, rate of disease, innovation and urban outlook would be completely different from what we witness now! The fragmentation, division and distrust we often witness amongst and between black people in regards to black leaders and their personal beliefs would be none existent. Collectively as black people we should have matured beyond such divisions and petty riffs, being that we are not a monolith. We would be coalescing and aligning with black leaders who proactively stand up and truly advocate and vocalize the cares, concerns, causes, plight, progression and overall betterment of black people. Times demand that we know the difference, "We must know the distinct difference between leading blacks and black leaders." Both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. were black leaders.
we should have matured beyond such divisions

David,
Your question of combining Malcolm and King is irrational since Malcolm air on the side of Arab Islam and King airs on the side of European Christianity while both men were Black Americans.
If the Christians succeeded in changing the Muslims to Christians or vises versa wrong is still in the mix because King and Malcolm would acting out of their own race since the Mohammed and Jesus were not Black Americans as King and Malcolm were.
Even thing must be uniform and in order and that means that everything must be racially matching.
Most importantly neither King nor Malcolm were prophets and that is what Black Americans need as our first go at life and becoming a sovereign people in a country of our own.
The greatest leader of all leaders is a genuine prophet because you now have God in the mix of things.
Combining the two dreams would be a conflict of interest since Christians believe there is no condemnation for their sins on judgment day, and Muslims claim that it is blasphemy to say God has begotten a son. They believe that on the day of judgment Jesus will say that he only tried to guide the lost and never asked for worship.

now that we got that out the way ,,,lets keep it moving !
David, Where are the positive prospectives? Take a look around and see how many Black's associate with Muslims? If you were a Muslims you would not be able to trust your own Christian family. People backstabbing you because you might convert the minds of other family members.(lol)
