Malcolm X- On Self-Knowledge,,,video 1 (1745 hits)
Its about accomishment dedication family ties etc.we are not defined by media images we define ourselves. Self determination. WE must love each other !
Appreciating the value of color, the artists in European cities are trying to change their hue to that of the colored people. They can understand how inexpressive the dead white is, and they are trying to make use of what we are seeking to conceal. The models in their shops are purposely colored to display to good effect the beautiful costumes which require color. Some of these Europeans frankly tell Negroes how they envy them for their color.
One is not surprised, then, to find European cafés and hotels employing American or African Negroes to supply this color which the Europeans lack. Pictures of such black men are sometimes displayed to great effect. That of Josephine Baker adorns the windows of large stores in Paris. Here in America, too, we observe that art centres are likewise getting away from the dead white to enjoy the richness of color.
What Malcolm is saying that Black Americans can do the same thing White America are doing for themselves is not possible unless we have the same thing White America has and that is our own country am I right.
Malcolm concept of doing for self is wrong unless we have our own country as White America has their own country.
