Stephen A Smith calls KAEPERNICK a Malcom X wannabe

[gluvnast]

Snoop on Undisputed going in on Colin Kaepernick and how he shouldn't have spoken on Castro


Like I said before out of ALL of the black media I've seen thecoli is the only place that has something positive to say about Kaps on this subject

you dumb nikkas keep thinking its ok to be from a America, claim to be about "human rights " and publicly praise an opposing dictator

Throne last time I checked, the only torture camp in Cuba is Gitmo. How the hell you can lambast against Castro when the biggest human rights violator on the planet is the United States???

 

[MrRDU]

There isn't one BLACK person who stands up for BLACK people that get praised. NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY. It's sad to see other BLACKS attack these people.

in my early 30's man, i haven't seen an X cap in over 20 years. no exaggeration.

I think a lot of yall sit around waiting for SAS to say some stupid shyt because you like being outraged.

fukk SAS. He isn't someone who should be taken seriously beyond straight sports analysis. Stop giving him life.

Ooooor it may be a discussion forum.. nikka I than seen cats on here talk about fukking buying escorts and shyt

But we're still politically retarded, we vote because "our ancestors died for the right" or because "Republicans are racist, and Democrats love us". Malcolm clearly stated that we need to become more mature when it comes to politics, and it's clear that we are a long way away from that. I think Malcolm would be more disappointed in black folks now than he would be at Kaep not voting.

Wow.. Never heard this one.. And it was on my birthday.. And I cosign your statement

Man the media aint shyt and they wonder why guys give them generic answers.

This shyt has me heated. I saw the headline on first take where it said "Kaepernick defends Castro" other headlines stating "Kaepernick praises Castro"

I read his presser before and after the Dolphins game. They really misconstrued dude's words. I don't even think he was bigging up Castro like that.

You are confusing the power in numbers by going to the United Nations (which is what I ALREADY stated was what Malcolm was talking about in using the black man's political power) with voting in an ELECTION. He went out his WAY explaining how voting is ineffective and not for black people. He was speaking about unifying African nations as well with other nations to confront the United States GOVERNMENT as a WHOLE at the U.N. and explained then-current events as examples of how The United States was put in check by other nations due to their strength in numbers.

This is in his words was stating.... it's more than voting in an election:




Not to mention when he talking about "the ballot" he was talking about demanding freedom... he, in fact, explicit said that. And he was talking about NATIONS coming together to confront the United States... not a general election.

In fact, this is also what he stated:


He even proclaimed that the black man is faced in a government conspiracy to hold us back. Even stated and I quote, "This so-called democracy has failed the Negro!"

There's nothing in that entire passage that suggest he's telling black people to get out there and VOTE. He was un-apologetically AGAINST the American democratic process!

Lastly, you again took the what he's talking about out of context. As I stated before, the "ballot" he speaking of is FREEDOM... again he outright stated that. He is demanding freedom from oppression of black people. And if freedom is not on the ballot then we can go to war.

How you assume he trusts this government and advocating for voting within this white controlled government when his philosophy as stated in The Ballot and The Bullet was this?


To conclude, Malcolm X entire speech was about embracing BLACK NATIONALISM and using the collective power of Africans to push back oppression and human rights violations that this country was and still is doing towards black people. It was NOT about going out to vote. He went out his way explaining how USELESS our vote in this political system is. Again, I ask you, what kind of logic of him advocating people to VOTE when there's no BALLOT for them to vote for? So how in the world KAEPERNICK is a hypocrite for not voting because he doesn't care or trust this democratic system when the ENTIRE SPEECH by Malcolm X was SIMPLY about why the democratic system should not be trusted???

Breh you are wrong. Find me an analysis that supports what you claim to be true. Every credible analysis of the speech includes the message that Brother Malcolm state's himself: Black people need to exercise their right to vote.

"The Ballot or The Bullet” by X was a challenge to blacks to practice black nationalism. He wants black people to practice their constitutional right to vote. It makes his audience more enthusiastic about X’s subject matter. In the speech “The Ballot or the Bullet”, by X, uses pathos as an appeal and explores black nationalism as a rhetorical strategy to bring recognition to racial inequality, voting rights, and civil rights.

"The Ballot or the Bullet" is the title of a public speech by human rights activist Malcolm X. In the speech, which was delivered on April 3, 1964, at Cory Methodist Church in Cleveland, Ohio,[1] Malcolm advised African Americans to judiciously exercise their right to vote, but he cautioned that if the government continued to prevent African Americans from attaining full equality, it might be necessary for them to take up arms. It was ranked 7th in the top 100 American speeches of the 20th century by 137 leading scholars of American public address.[2][3]

It's unbelievable that you can twist this landmark civil rights speech into Brother Malcolm not encouraging us to vote when he's CLEARLY saying otherwise

You going off the basis of OTHER PEOPLE'S interpretations over what MALCOLM HIMSELF SAID??? There's nothing to interpret. He not once said people need to use their constitutional right vote. And using WIKIPEDIA??? You are more than delusional if this is the basis of your argument.

Malcolm X consistently in his speech stated black people should not trust the political system and that they're being played if and whenever they DO. He CONSISTENTLY promoted SEPARATION over SEGREGATION and embark on BLACK NATIONALISM. He stated that what needs to happen is the 22 million Africans in this country to reach out to other world nations and take their "ballot" which is FREEDOM to the U.N. and have the United States tried for violating people's HUMAN RIGHTS. He even stated that fighting for Civil Rights is small and only means you put your trust to Washington when Washington is the PROBLEM and directly stated to elevate it to human rights and take it to the U.N. and explained in detail why. This is what MALCOLM X said... not my interpretation, not needed any other "analysis" to interpret...why the FUCCK do Malcolm need an interpreter? Especially as direct that he is. I don't NEED other so-called "credible analysis".... Malcolm is the MOST CREDIBLE.

There's nowhere in his speech where he's telling his people to vote in that democratic system. He in fact outright said that democracy FAILED YOU. That's directly in his speech.

He needs an interpreter for people like you who misinterpret his words and think that in 1964 when the majority of black people in this country could not vote and that there was historic new legislation to support our freedom and right to vote as US citizens that he would inexplicably make a major speech encouraging us not to vote some more. How does that remotely make sense?

You and your interpretation are wrong. Malcolm's speech was a speech about black voting, I posted the other analysis of his speech so that you could hopefully understand the depths of your misunderstanding. There is no credible scholar alive who would agree with what you're saying

 

[AVXL]

You just proved my point.

 

[gluvnast]

You just proved my point.

What point.... he stated about our voting "power" can and does get manipulated. You advocating for voting IN a system that is not MADE FOR US....

 

[NYC Rebel]

You proved the point that he was pro voting.

 

[NYC Rebel]

What point.... he stated about our voting "power" can and does get manipulated. You advocating for voting IN a system that is not MADE FOR US....

He didn't say any of this.

Man the media aint shyt and they wonder why guys give them generic answers.

I read his presser before and after the Dolphins game. They really misconstrued dude's words. I don't even think he was bigging up Castro like that.

They also did it to avoid the parts where he brought up examples of the US oppressing black folks like Castro did to Cubans.
