I love Malcolm X, he got me started on the path I'm on because of the autobiography by Alex Haley but I think Malcolm X is over rated now. Somebody has to do better than Malcolm did if we are going to defeat White Supremacy and Racism. And as great as Malcolm X was, and I say it in past tense that Malcolm is gone, we need today's solutions based upon today's trends and circumstances. I'm not examining his life anymore, his speeches, his thoughts unless its to get a social context for that time period, as our ancestors faced some of the same challenges we face, poverty, inequality, injustice, genocide and racism. Nothing has changed and if nothing hasn't changed and Malcolm X couldn't solve the same problems we now face then what good is his philosophy other than cultural text? We dig up dead leaders because we are too afraid of the young leaders in our midst and the young leaders are ourselves, we have life now and Malcolm is dead,
