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.
The first reason this reading struck we was because XXXXXX XXXX era in XXXXXXX XXXXX as XXX civil XXXXXX era, the negro in XXXXXXX was still XXXXX oppressed, although slavery and XXXXXXXXXX XXX supposed to be abolished, XXX black negro was XXX XXXXXXXX XX XXXX a voice and speak out against XXX XXXXX man. Malcom X XXXXXX great courage XXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX out XXXXXXX the XXXXX devil. XX wasn’t XXXXXX to speak out XXX XXXXXXX the racial injustice XXX XXX mistreatment of XXXXX XXXXXX in XXXXXXX. XX tried XX XXXXXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXX to XXXXX XXXXXXXX and stop turning XX each XXXXX, XXXX XXXXXX he XXX looked XXXX XXXX XX XXX XXXX XXX white devil he XXXXX out against but XXXX XXX XXXXXX black XXXXXXXX XXX sisters which he was fighting for. XX XXXXX to XXXX XXX XXXXX negro XXX white man XXX XXX XXXXX XXXXX XXX that XXX the monstrosities in XXX world XXXX caused by XXX XXXXX devil but people XXXX’t XXXXXXX XXX even though it was XXXXX XXXX XXXXX horrible XXXXXX XXXXXX. “I XXXX XXX XXXXXXXXX XX XXXXXXX nations, XXXXX XXXXXX XX eyes gradually, then XXXXX and wider, to how XXX whole world’s white XXX had XXXXXX acted like XXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXX raping and bleeding XXX draining the whole XXXXX’s XXX-XXXXX people.” (A. X. X) He XXXX XXXXX out XXXXXX to XXX the XXXXX Negro to XXXX believing XXXXXXXXXX the XXXXX XXXXX XXX XX say. XX XXXX XXXXX XX uplift the XXXXX XXXXX and XXXXXXX XXX self-XXXXXX that XXX taught to the XXXXX Negro by XXX white man. “XXX taught you to XXXX the XXXXX XX your skin? Who XXXXXX you to hate the texture of your XXXX? XXX XXXXXX you XX XXXX XXX XXXXX of XXXX nose XXX the XXXXX XX your XXXX? XXX taught you to XXXX yourself from XXX top XX your XXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXXX XXXX? XXX XXXXXX you to XXXX your own XXXX? Who XXXXXX you to hate the race XXXX you XXXXXX XX so much so XXXX you XXX't want XX be XXXXXX each XXXXX? You know. Before you XXXX XXXXXX Mr. XXXXXXXX does he teach XXXX, you should ask yourself who XXXXXX you to hate XXXXX XXXX XXX made you.”(X. X, XXX XXXXXX you to Hate XXXXXXXX) XXXXX XXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXX from XXX XXXXXX self-XXXXXX XX XXXX XXX.
XXXXX XXXXX me to the second XXXXXX XXX Autobiography of Malcom X XXXXXX me XXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX x XXXX back XXXX XXXXX remains true XXXXX. XXX black XXXXXXXXX still struggles XXXX self-XXXX, and the XXXXX XXX XX still the XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX committing XXXXXXX monstrosities XXXXXXX XXXXXX XX XXXXX and XXXXX people XXXXX defend them. They still XXXX XXXXX plantation XXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX has been XXXXXX XXXX from generation to XXXXXXXXXX if I behave myself, XX I XXX act XXX way they XXXX XX to act XXX do what XXXX XXXX me to XXXX maybe XXX XXXXX XXX will show XXXXX XX me. “XXXX XXXXXX house XXXXX loves his XXXXXX. He wants to live XXXX XXX. XX'll XXX XXXXX times as much as the house is worth just XX XXXX near his master, XXX XXXX bragXXXXX "I'm the XXXX XXXXX out here." "I'm the XXXX one XX my XXX." "I'm XXX only XXX in this XXXXXX." You'XX nothing XXX a house XXXXX. And XX someone XXXXX XX you XXXXX now XXX says, "XXX's XXXXXXXX," you say the same thing that the XXXXX XXXXX XXXX on XXX plantation. "XXXX you XXXX, separate? XXXX America, this good white man? XXXXX you going XX XXX a XXXXXX XXX than you get XXXX?"(M. X, http://malcolmxfiles.XXXXXXXX.XXX/p/malcolm-x-quotes_29.XXXX)Just like XXXX XXXX XXXXX people in America still XXX’t XXXX to see what XX right in front XX XXXX. “You have XX XX careful, very XXXXXXX introducing XXX XXXXX XX the black man XXX XXX never XXXXXXXXXX heard XXX truth about XXX XXXXX man.” (X. H. X) You still have XX XX XXXXXXX to this day XXXX XXXX the black Negro XXX XXXXX the XXXXX. XX you XXXX XX current XXXXXX XXXX are XXXXXXXXX today history XX defiantly XXXXXXXXX itself. XXXX black people XXX’t want to XXXX the truth about XXXXXXXXXX or the white man. XXXX XXX’t XXXX XX XXXX about XXXX-XXXXXX XXXX XX XXXXX being XXXXXXXXXXX in the black XXXXXXXXX. XXXXX XXXX XX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXX hair vs. relaxed hair, Afro vs. XXXXX. The black XXXXXXXXX is XXXXX in a state of XXXXXXXXX XXX XXXXX don’t XXX it. XXX black Negro XXXXX makes excuses XXX the white XXX and favors him, because XXXX XXXXX XXXX, that XXXX save XXXX XXXX the white devil XXX is oppressing XXX XXX XXXXXXX him will show him XXXXX. XXXX at all of the XXXXXXXX XX unarmed XXXXX XXXXXX in XXXXXXX, XXXXX time a white XXX kills a black person XXX XXXXX negro comes XX the XXXXXXX XX XXX white man, they make XXXXXXX XXX XXX, he XXXXXX have XXXXXXXX, he XXXXXXX’t XXXX run, well what XXXXX XXXXX on black XXXXX. “The XXXXX XX so powerful in XXX image-making role; it can XXXX the criminal look like he’s the XXXXXX XXX XXXX XXX XXXXXX look like he's the criminal. This is the XXXXX, an irresponsible XXXXX. It will XXXX the criminal look XXXX he's the victim XXX make XXX victim XXXX XXXX he's XXX XXXXXXXX. If you aren't careful, XXX XXXXXXXXXX will XXXX you hating the XXXXXX who XXX being XXXXXXXXX and XXXXXX the XXXXXX XXX XXX XXXXX XXX oppressing.”XX stated that the XXXXX XXXX be XXXX XXXXX XX piece or the XXXXX negro will repel it, “the black brother XX so brainwashed XXXX he may XXXX be XXXXXXXX XXXX he XXXXX XXXXX XXX XXXXX. XXXXXXXX advised that XXX truth XXX to be XXXXXXX XXXX a little bit XX a time and you XXXX to wait to let it sink in XXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXX next XXXX.” (X. H. X) The black XXXXX in XXXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXX the white XXXXX XXXX XX it XX gospel XXX XXXXXXXXXX any truth XXXXX told to XXXX, even when XXXXX is proof of XXX things XXXXX XXXX. And Malcom X tried so hard XX reverse that and XXXX XXX XXXXX XXXXXXXXX see things XXX XXXX they are.
The XXXX XXX XXXX XXXXXXXXX reason XXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX XX Malcom X struck me XXX XXXXXXX, Malcom X turned his XXXXXX life around. He XXXX from a XXXXX criminal who XXXXX barely XXXX or XXXXX to XXX XX the XXXX well-known speakers and civil right XXXXXXXX is the XXXXX rights XXX. XXXXXXXX he XXXX’t have a formal XXXXXXXXX, he XXX XXXX educated and taught XXXXXXX how to XXXX and XXXXX XXX XXXXX. XX XXX born Malcom little and he moved XX Detroit XXXXX he XXX known as XXXXXXX XXX. He was a XXXXX talking XXX XXX committed XXXXXX and went to jail, XXXXX he learned to read XX reading and writing XXX XXXXXXXXXX page by XXXX until he knew all of XXX XXXXX in it. XXXX he started XX XXXX XXXX XXX more and more. XXXXX, he XXXXXXX to read XXXXX XXXXX XXX history XX black XXXXXX and where we came XXXX. He started XX become more XXXXXXXXXXXXX about XXX history XX whites XXX XXXXXX. XXXX he started to XXX XXX XXXXXXX XXX fellow inmates in XXXX. Malcom X XXXXXXX everything XXXXX him XXX XXXXXXXX a XXXXX man XXXXX proves XXXX you are XXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX XXX can overcome XXXXXXXX, and XXXXXX XXXXXXXXX great. He XXXX XX XXXXXX education XXX XXXXXXXXX XXX so XXXX of a formal XXXXXXXXX but XXXXXXXXX and knowledge of XXX’s history and XXX history XX XXX people XXXXXX you. XXX XXXXXXXXXX way XXXX he XXXXX would XXXX you think that he XXX a degree from XXX XX the top colleges in America.
I XXXX learned a XXX XXXX session from XXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX we XXX XX XXXX. But XXX one XXXX struck me XXX most XXX The XXXXXXXXXXXXX XX Malcom X. I XXX’t XXX XXXX it XXXXXXXXXX XX, XXXX me more XXXXXXXX, more complexed or XXXXXX. But XXXX I can say is XXXX XXXXX XXXXXXX the XXXXXXX in the XXXXXXXX XXX made me XXXX to learn XXXX about XXX XXX XXX XXXXXXXXXXXX to the XXXXX rights movement. I XXXX XXXX on XX read XXX XXXX of his autobiography XXX listened XX a XXX XX XXX XXXXXXXXXX, learning more XXXXX XXX XXXXX has made me more XXXXXXXXXXXXX about XXX the black community XX in such a XXXXX XX emergency XXX why XXXXXXX XX repeating XXXXXX XXX the black negro in America. XXXXX who XX XXX know their XXXXXXX XXX doomed XX XXXXXX it. XXXXXX X was XXXXX XXXX he said how we could fight for XXXXX rights, when we XXX’t XXXX XXXXX XXXXX rights.
In XXXXXXXXXX the XXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX XX the XXXX XXX XXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX XX XXXXXX X. It XXXXXX XX XXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXX time XXX XXXXX negro in America XXXX’t XXXXXXXX XX XXXX a XXXXX and Malcom X was bold XXX spoke out and against the XXXXX devil it also XXXXX me XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX Malcom X spoke XXXXX his XX autobiography and XXXXXXXXXX is still true to this XXX. XXX XXX XXXX most XXXXXXXXX reason XXX XXX Autobiography of Malcom x struck XX XX XXXXXXX XXXXXX x turned his XXXXXX life around. The black XXXXX XXX XXX to XXXXX XXX history, and without a XXXXXXXXX XX the past we XXXXXX move forward XXX progress XX a XXXXXXXXX because we will XX XXXXX in XXX same XXXX just XXXX XXX XXXXXXXXXXX before XX. “XXXXX with XXX XXXXXXXXX XX XXX past, we XXX with confidence charter a XXXXXX XXX XXX XXXXXX. XXXXXXX is an indispensable XXXXXX in the XXXXXXX struggle. XX must XXXX hold of it and forge XXX XXXXXX with XXX XXXX.” (X. X, http://malcolmxfiles.blogspot.XXX/p/malcolm-x-quotes_29.html)
