(1964) MALCOLM X, “THE BALLOT OR THE BULLET” (1018 hits)


(1964) MALCOLM X, “THE BALLOT OR THE BULLET”

By March 1964, Malcolm X had broken with the Nation of Islam. In the speech below, given on April 3, 1964 in Cleveland, Ohio he explains his departure and his reason for establishing a separation between his religion and his politics. He also makes clear that those politics are still rooted in black nationalism and that his opposition to the non-violent approach of civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King is based on his belief that their efforts will delay and possibly deny forever complete black liberation.

Mr. Moderator, Brother Lomax, brothers and sisters, friends and enemies: I just can’t believe everyone in here is a friend, and I don’t want to leave anybody out. The question tonight, as I understand it, is “The Negro Revolt, and Where Do We Go From Here?” or What Next?” In my little humble way of understanding it, it points toward either the ballot or the bullet.

..Correction for important accuracy...

February 21, 1964, an American Named Malik As Shabazz completed his pilgramage to Makkah

..After completion of Hajj..All men and women may take the TITLE of AlHajj- elhajj

So on this program with Lomax was Al Hajj Malik As Shabazz NOT malcolmX

***********************************************************************************************************************************

Highlights of the speech of Al Hajj Malik As Shabazz

This speech below, given on April 3, 1964 in Cleveland, Ohio..explains his departure and his reason for

establishing a separation between his religion and his politics. "..I’m still a Muslim; my religion is still Islam

The question tonight, as I understand it, is

“The Negro Revolt, and Where Do We Go From Here?” or What Next?”

"..In my little humble way of understanding it, it points toward either the ballot or the bullet.

..what is meant by the ballot or the bullet, I would like to clarify something concerning myself..."

*********************************************************************************************************************

"..Civil rights means you’re asking Uncle Sam to treat you right..Human rights are your God-given rights.

Right now, in this country, if you and I, 22 million African-Americans — that’s what we are —

Africans who are in America. You’re nothing but Africans. Nothing but Africans.

In fact, you’d get farther calling yourself African instead of Negro.

The social philosophy of black nationalism only means that we have to get together and remove the evils,

the vices, alcoholism, drug addiction, and other evils that are destroying the moral fiber of our community.

We ourselves have to lift the level of our community.."

No truer words have never been spoken. Malcolm X.

By March 1964, Malcolm X had broken with the Nation of Islam. In the speech below, given on April 3, 1964 in Cleveland, Ohio he explains his departure and his reason for establishing a separation between his religion and his politics.

Nation of Islam, had frequently attacked King and his commitment to nonviolence, going so far as to call

King a “modern Uncle Tom.”

..Nation of Islam 1930-1975 represented the negro as a NOTHING.. NO NAMES...Just X..NOTHING of Value!

malcolm speech and thought 1930-1963 was not his but the Thoughts of Our Father - elijahMuhammad!

The thoughts of Al Hajj Malik As Shabazz were the thoughts of AlIslaam, Dawlatul Islaam..the global nation of AlIslaam

***************************************************************************************************************************************

King responds: “I have met Malcolm X-- I totally disagree with many of his political and philosophical views...

I don’t want to seem to sound as if I feel so self-righteous, or absolutist, that I think I have the only truth,

the only way.(christianity as taught by the COLORED'whiteMan' to the negro slave-1619-1964)

Maybe he does have some of the answer.

..his litany of expressing the despair of the Negro..I think that he falls into a rut sometimes.”

“And in his litany of articulating the despair of the Negro without offering any positive, creative alternative,

I feel that Malcolm has done himself and our people a great disservice.

Fiery, demagogic oratory in the black ghettos, urging Negroes to arm themselves and prepare to engage in violence,

as he has done, can reap nothing but grief.”

**************************************************************************************************************************************

Even deaCON concedes that a malcolmx was nothing, like Our Father Elijah stated and america1960s acknowledged

..deaCON writes Malcome X(malcolmx)

***********************************************************************************************************************************

AGAIN just as a Factual Historical Truth must be made...

..as malcolmx - that person COULD NOT go to Makkah for Hajj...

..malcolmx in Switzerland tok oath or Shahada tulIslaam

..Witnesses that Allaah is the Creator Only and Mohamed(saw) was the slaveServant of Allaah...

That OATH allow a Malik AsShabazz to get into Makkah so that he could perform 1 of the 5 pillars of AlIslaam - Hajj

..upon completing His Hajj - Malik AsShabazz could claim the Noble Title Al Hajj Malik AsShabazz

**************************************************************************************************************************************

deaCON as the poster of this Blog Subject - Does deaCON believe deaCON knows more of subject NOW?

Although I’m still a Muslim, I’m not here tonight to discuss my religion. I’m not here to try and change your religion. I’m not here to argue or discuss anything that we differ about, because it’s time for us to submerge our differences and realize that it is best for us to first see that we have the same problem, a common problem, a problem that will make you catch hell whether you’re a Baptist, or a Methodist, or a Muslim, or a nationalist. ---Malcolm X
