In Philadelphia, I'm seeing a lot of Trump commercials aimed at the African American vote. To those actors and GOP blacks? I'd like the black community to be aware of this clip of Malcolm X 55 years later, his words still ring true.
Malcolm would be surprised to know we can group millions of whites right into the ''field negroes''' corner! Any lower-income folks (black or white) who support the pustule are just working against their own advantage...
PS Barjoe, I remember Malcolm and wish he were still with us. The man was very scary for awhile but he'd begun to realize the wisdom of moderation....and then, he was murdered. I was sorry.
The house negro was working to their own advantage. In the Nazi concentration camps there were Jewish collaborators Judenrat Blacks who support Trump are working to their advantage, but against their own people. Whites who go to Trump Rallies are Brown Shirts, they are working to their advantage as well. Donald Trump is the savior of White Nationalists. I remember when Malcolm X got murdered. He was killed by Louis Farrakhan faction. Shabazz daughter insists it was on his orders and had a plot to kill Minister Farrakhan. Unfortunately she was unsuccessful and was caught.

@barjoe Difficult decision to make...how do I do what just might help me survive...and how do I know which option's most necessary? I still respect the courage of those early Black activists, even though I don't always respect how they acted.
@barjoe The black Muslims that killed Malcom had help from the FBI. It's important to remember the conspiracy was bigger than just the Farrakhan group.
@TomMcGiverin Oh yeah? That would've been J Edgar Hoover conspiring with Farrakhan and Elijah Muhammad? I have heard that NYPD was complacent.
@barjoe Groups with a common enemy often make strange allies.
Senator Tim Scott is definitely a house negro as is Clarence Thomas.

As was Obama as well. Too bad most blacks and white liberals won't admit that, but if Malcom were still alive he would have said it without batting an eye.. So is Jim Clyburn. That's why I hated and still hate Obama. But instead of admitting the truth about him, me and other progressives were accused of being racist when we bashed Obama back then. A great example of how Dems hide behind identity politics instead of admitting their party is just as corrupt as the Repubs when it comes to serving the 1%.
@TomMcGiverin Obama was not. That's bullshit. He wasn't a socialist. Most black people aren't.That makes him an Uncle Tom? I think if Malcolm were alive today, he'd tell you you were full of shit. That is, if he gave what you say any thought at all.
@barjoe Bite me, you're wrong and either leave it at that or I'll block you. Been thinking of it for a while now. Most blacks may not be socialists, but they also are not interested in selling out to super rich whites like Obama.
@barjoe Agreed wholeheartedly, Barjoe!
Please vote him out. We are all exhausted.
The world is exhausted too. We're tired of looking over our shoulder, like what's he going to do now, what else does he want us to pay more for now, what next? He's like a ticking time bomb.
No shit. Mentally, spiritually, emotionally. He is a cancer on this earth and its people.
