The one that struck me the most
Throughout this session, I have read many stories and biographies about many different topics and authors. I have learned and enjoyed learning a lot of new things this session that I didn’t know previously. But the reading that struck me the most this session was the Autobiography of Malcom X. it struck me the most because during this time the black Negro in America wasn’t supposed to have a voice or speak out against the white devil, Malcom X spoke out. It also struck me because everything that Malcom X spoke about in his biography and interviews is some of the same things that the black
Negro is still going through to this day. The last reason and the most important reason this reading struck me is because Malcom X did a complete turnaround in his life.
XXX first XXXXXX this reading XXXXXX we XXX XXXXXXX XXXXXX this era in America known XX XXX XXXXX rights era, the XXXXX in XXXXXXX was still being XXXXXXXXX, XXXXXXXX slavery XXX XXXXXXXXXX was XXXXXXXX to XX abolished, XXX XXXXX negro was not XXXXXXXX XX have a voice XXX XXXXX out against the XXXXX man. XXXXXX X XXXXXX great courage XXX strength XXXXXXXX out XXXXXXX the white XXXXX. XX XXXX’t XXXXXX XX speak out XXX XXXXXXX XXX racial XXXXXXXXX and XXX XXXXXXXXXXXX of XXXXX XXXXXX in America. He XXXXX to XXXXXXXXX black XXXXXX XX stick XXXXXXXX XXX XXXX XXXXXXX XX each other, XXXX though he was looked down XXXX by not only XXX XXXXX XXXXX he spoke out XXXXXXX but also his XXXXXX XXXXX brothers XXX sisters XXXXX he was XXXXXXXX XXX. He tried to XXXX the black negro the XXXXX XXX XXX XXX XXXXX devil XXX that XXX XXX monstrosities in the XXXXX XXXX caused XX the white devil but XXXXXX didn’t believe XXX XXXX XXXXXX it XXX proof that XXXXX XXXXXXXX things accord. “I read XXX histories of XXXXXXX nations, XXXXX XXXXXX XX XXXX XXXXXXXXX, then wider and XXXXX, to how the whole world’s XXXXX XXX XXX XXXXXX XXXXX XXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXXX and XXXXXX XXX XXXXXXXX and draining the XXXXX world’s XXX-white XXXXXX.” (A. X. X) XX also spoke out trying to get XXX XXXXX XXXXX XX stop XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXX white devil had XX XXX. XX XXXX XXXXX to uplift the black XXXXX XXX XXXXXXX the XXXX-XXXXXX XXXX was XXXXXX to the XXXXX XXXXX by the white XXX. “Who XXXXXX you XX hate XXX color XX XXXX XXXX? Who taught you XX hate the XXXXXXX of your XXXX? Who XXXXXX you XX XXXX XXX XXXXX XX XXXX XXXX and the shape XX XXXX XXXX? Who taught you to hate XXXXXXXX XXXX XXX XXX of your head XX the XXXXX XX your XXXX? Who XXXXXX you to hate XXXX own XXXX? XXX XXXXXX you to XXXX XXX race that you XXXXXX XX so much so that you XXX't want XX be XXXXXX each XXXXX? XXX XXXX. XXXXXX you XXXX asking XX. XXXXXXXX does he teach hate, you XXXXXX ask yourself XXX XXXXXX you XX XXXX being XXXX XXX XXXX you.”(X. X, XXX XXXXXX you XX Hate yourself) XXXXX XXXXXX still suffer XXXX the taught XXXX-hatred to this day.
Which XXXXX me XX the XXXXXX XXXXXX XXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX of XXXXXX X XXXXXX XX was because everything XXXXXX x XXXX back then XXXXX remains true today. The XXXXX XXXXXXXXX still struggles with XXXX-hate, and the XXXXX XXX is XXXXX XXX white devil still XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX monstrosities against XXXXXX XX XXXXX and black XXXXXX still XXXXXX them. XXXX XXXXX XXXX slave XXXXXXXXXX XXXXX negro syndrome, that has XXXX passed down XXXX XXXXXXXXXX to XXXXXXXXXX XX I XXXXXX XXXXXX, XX I XXX act the XXX XXXX want me to XXX XXX do what XXXX want me to XXXX XXXXX XXX XXXXX XXX will show XXXXX to me. “XXXX XXXXXX XXXXX Negro XXXXX his master. XX wants XX XXXX near XXX. He'll XXX XXXXX XXXXX XX XXXX XX the XXXXX is XXXXX XXXX XX XXXX near XXX master, XXX then XXXXabout "I'm XXX only XXXXX out XXXX." "I'm the XXXX XXX XX XX XXX." "I'm XXX XXXX one in XXXX XXXXXX." XXX're nothing but a XXXXX Negro. And if someone comes XX you right XXX and says, "Let's XXXXXXXX," you XXX the same thing that XXX house XXXXX said XX XXX plantation. "XXXX you XXXX, separate? From America, this good white man? XXXXX you going to get a XXXXXX XXX XXXX you get here?"(M. X, XXXX://malcolmxfiles.XXXXXXXX.XXX/p/XXXXXXX-x-XXXXXXXXX.XXXX)Just like back XXXX black people in America still don’t XXXX to XXX XXXX is XXXXX in XXXXX XX them. “XXX have XX be careful, XXXX careful XXXXXXXXXXX XXX XXXXX to the XXXXX XXX XXX XXX XXXXX previously XXXXX XXX XXXXX XXXXX XXX white XXX.” (A. H. X) XXX XXXXX have to XX careful to this day even when the black Negro has heard the truth. As you XXXX at XXXXXXX events that XXX happening XXXXX XXXXXXX is defiantly repeating itself. Most XXXXX XXXXXX XXX’t want to hear the truth about XXXXXXXXXX or XXX XXXXX man. XXXX don’t XXXX to hear XXXXX self-hatred that XX still being XXXXXXXXXXX in the XXXXX XXXXXXXXX. XXXXX XXXX vs Dark XXXX, Natural XXXX vs. relaxed hair, XXXX vs. weave. The XXXXX XXXXXXXXX is still in a XXXXX of emergency XXX still don’t XXX it. XXX XXXXX XXXXX still makes excuses for XXX white XXX XXX favors XXX, because XXXX XXXXX XXXX, XXXX will save XXXX that XXX XXXXX XXXXX XXX XX oppressing XXX and XXXXXXX him XXXX show XXX mercy. Look XX all of the XXXXXXXX XX unarmed XXXXX XXXXXX in XXXXXXX, every time a XXXXX cop XXXXX a XXXXX person the XXXXX negro comes XX XXX defense XX XXX XXXXX man, they XXXX XXXXXXX for XXX, he XXXXXX have XXXXXXXX, he shouldn’t XXXX XXX, well what XXXXX black XX black XXXXX. “XXX XXXXX XX so powerful in XXX image-XXXXXX XXXX; it can make the criminal look like he’s XXX XXXXXX and XXXX the victim look XXXX he's XXX XXXXXXXX. This is the XXXXX, an XXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXX. XX XXXX XXXX the criminal XXXX XXXX he's XXX victim and XXXX XXX victim XXXX like he's XXX criminal. If you XXXX't careful, XXX newspapers XXXX have you hating XXX XXXXXX who are being oppressed and loving the people XXX XXX doing XXX XXXXXXXXXX.”He XXXXXX XXXX the truth XXXX XX XXXX piece by XXXXX or XXX XXXXX XXXXX will repel it, “the XXXXX brother is so XXXXXXXXXXX XXXX he XXX even be XXXXXXXX XXXX he XXXXX XXXXX the XXXXX. Reginald advised XXXX the XXXXX had XX XX dropped XXXX a little XXX XX a time and you XXXX to wait XX XXX it sink in before XXXXXXXXX XXX next XXXX.” (A. H. X) XXX XXXXX XXXXX in America XXXXX XXXXXXXX the white XXXXX says XX it XX gospel XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXX XXXXX XXXXX told to XXXX, XXXX XXXX there XX proof XX XXX things XXXXX XXXX. XXX XXXXXX X tried so XXXX XX XXXXXXX XXXX XXX XXXX XXX black community see things XXX XXXX XXXX XXX.
The last XXX most important reason the XXXXXXXXXXXXX of XXXXXX X struck me XXX XXXXXXX, Malcom X turned XXX XXXXXX life XXXXXX. XX went XXXX a petty XXXXXXXX who XXXXX XXXXXX XXXX or XXXXX XX one of XXX XXXX XXXX-XXXXX speakers XXX XXXXX XXXXX activist is XXX XXXXX rights era. XXXXXXXX he didn’t have a formal education, he XXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and taught XXXXXXX how to XXXX and XXXXX and XXXXX. He XXX XXXX XXXXXX little and he XXXXX XX XXXXXXX where he XXX known XX Detroit red. He was a slick talking XXX XXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXXX and went to jail, where he XXXXXXX to read XX XXXXXXX and writing XXX XXXXXXXXXX page XX page XXXXX he XXXX XXX of the words in it. Then he started to read more and more and XXXX. Until, he XXXXXXX to XXXX XXXXX about XXX history of black XXXXXX and where XX came XXXX. He XXXXXXX to become more knowledgeable about the XXXXXXX of XXXXXX and XXXXXX. XXXX he started XX try and XXXXXXX XXX fellow inmates in XXXX. XXXXXX X changed everything XXXXX XXX XXX becoming a great man XXXXX XXXXXX that you XXX not XXXX circumstances and XXX overcome XXXXXXXX, XXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXXX great. XX XXXX as though education was XXXXXXXXX not so XXXX of a XXXXXX education XXX education XXX knowledge XX XXX’s XXXXXXX XXX the XXXXXXX XX XXX XXXXXX around you. XXX articulate XXX that he spoke XXXXX XXXX you think that he XXX a XXXXXX XXXX XXX XX XXX top colleges in XXXXXXX.
I have learned a lot this session from the XXXX readings XXXX XX XXX to read. XXX the XXX XXXX XXXXXX XX XXX most XXX The XXXXXXXXXXXXX XX Malcom X. I can’t XXX XXXX it XXXXXXXXXX XX, XXXX XX more creative, more XXXXXXXXX or loving. XXX what I XXX XXX is XXXX after XXXXXXX XXX excerpt in XXX XXXXXXXX XXX made XX XXXX XX XXXXX XXXX XXXXX XXX and his XXXXXXXXXXXX XX XXX civil XXXXXX movement. I have XXXX XX XX XXXX the XXXX XX his XXXXXXXXXXXXX and XXXXXXXX XX a lot XX his interviews, learning XXXX XXXXX him which XXX XXXX XX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXX why XXX XXXXX community is in such a state XX emergency XXX XXX history XX repeating XXXXXX for the black negro in XXXXXXX. XXXXX XXX XX not XXXX XXXXX XXXXXXX XXX XXXXXX XX XXXXXX it. Malcom X was XXXXX XXXX he said how we XXXXX fight for civil XXXXXX, XXXX we don’t XXXX XXXXX XXXXX rights.
In conclusion XXX reading XXXX struck XX XXX XXXX was The XXXXXXXXXXXXX of Malcom X. It struck XX because during this XXXX XXX XXXXX negro in XXXXXXX wasn’t XXXXXXXX XX XXXX a voice XXX XXXXXX X was bold XXX XXXXX out and XXXXXXX XXX XXXXX XXXXX it also XXXXX XX XXXXXXX everything XXXXXX X spoke XXXXX his XX autobiography and XXXXXXXXXX is still true XX XXXX day.
