sounds like your kind of music... says a lot about you... thanks for sharing...

Regarding Malcolm X, you are wrong again. He did not advocate initiating violence, but likewise he did not dismiss the need for it. Instead, he saw violence as "response". He then went on to argue that... "non violence was not a realistic or effect strategy for black liberation..." according to Lawrence A Mamiya, Professor of Religion and Africana Studies at Vassar College, leaving violence as a necessary tool.

So, again your issue is not with me, but with another black man. You can try to twist things to suit your narrative, but it just does align with what I witnessed growing up or what he said.

Arguing African Americans were compelled to use violence reminds me of the saying of my day, "The Devil made me do it"...

"By claiming African Americans had no choice but to resort to violence to achieve the ends he was prepared to do whatever was necessary to achieve his goals even if other African Americans advocated integration and rejected his ideas.

You may not want to receive help from someone like me, given your racist views it would be hard to help you. So, no problem there... helping people is always a two-way street.

Have a happy life... My relationship to my family is the patriarch... it has nothing to do with skin color... If I were black, Asian, or Native American, I would still be the patriarch... Just as my Asian wife is the matriarch. In both instances we are the oldest under the umbrella with proven track records (my wife started and runs her own successful business).

When you lash out at people, you reveal fear. When you debate them without lashing out, you project confidence. Looking at your responses... would you say you provide calm thoughtful responses or that you feel compelled to attack.

Anyway, I do not think we are making much progress and people who look at our exchanges can draw their own conclusions... some will agree with you and others won't. Have a great day.
