there was a malcolm x, and there was a martinlutherkingDD.

there became a AlHajj AbdulMaleek AsShabazz, and there was a martinlutherkingDD.

malcolm x and martinlutherking were paganChristians and seem(toMe) to be inspired by paganChristianRacialists

AlHajj AbdulMaleek AsShabazz was inspired by AlQur'aan, the Sunnah of Mohamed(as) and the Scholarship of 1431+ years of Islaamic Thought.....

to continue to refer to malcolmX;

is like patterson, frazier and terrell by continuing to call Muhammad Ali-----cassiusclay

smash this silly negroStereotype

There was an interview with King's oldest daughter and Malcolm's oldest daughter... and YES both ladies said that their fathers agenda was very similar. Their Approach was different..... King followed the Philosophy of Ghandi....
King's upbringing was totally different than Malcolm... They both shared the same agenda... "Freedom from the Racist Treatment" they both believed in the Beautiful Black Race of People... and they both believed in Education... Unity and Black Pride.

Hello to All,

Was any one of these men successful?

Tell me what you think.

Cynthia Merrill Artis Sunday, May 23rd 2010 at 3:53AM

My Lady... there you go again..... I do not like bean pies... (Ive had them)... Yes.. I have not only purchased the final call paper... I have read them... I once dated a Muslim man.... Why do you under estimate me.... I try not to say things that would be offensive .... Mr. Stokley Carmichael.... pen the phrase Black Power... This movement. Black Panther Movement became the movement after King was killed and the Civil Rights Ended....

YEP, there Irma goes again not trying to put Cynthia down for not likeing Bean pie for the same reasons that Cynthia has not downed Irma for not liking pineapple. (smile)

There Irma goes again saying that when we are satisfied the our males are the only ones that wear baggy pants, fight over drug terirfs in their neighborhoods, drugs are not even allowed in the neighborhoods of the NOI...when we hear tose in congress talking about unemployment checks should be stopped because people don't want to work / our B-L-A-C-K-S need to have their own business in Black neighborhoods...please let us stop hatting on the NOI to better be able to resist accepting and passing on our race can not do any thing that other civilized people can do and just wait for things to be done for them because they are too lay, have been shot andkilled by their own, in prison,ect. is not true. (smile)

THERE GOES IRAM AGAIN SPEAKING THE GOD'S TRUTH. (smile)

George,it is always good to see my own people actually taking a positive stance of our own BIA that we have teh ablilty to be in unity in our fight for equality...or better know as one of the main reasons for those books approval in Tx and the ban of this kind of information in our public schools what next less hatered for the NOI?!?

I do hope so (smile)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

Now here would be a great idea for CNN to run when they are being the voice and conscious and truth about our Black community...

let them have those body guards of Dr. King from the NOI and the Black panthers on their program as these people can reach more of our people of all races than they can going onto our college campus' trying to teach us our true BIA,,,and as it seem the the states of Texas and Arizona is going to put an end to even this knids of information getting to our youth sooneer tahn later...

(smile)
