Malcolm X wields his dazzling and clairvoyant intellect to rip to shreds the case for affirmative action and welfare dependence in his 1963 appearance on the WRCA ‘Open Mind’ TV panel ~ decades before those issues found themselves at the epicentre of contention and controversy within the American body politic.
What you see above once again serves to underscore just how truly telescopic a mind was Malcolm’s, how waaaaay ahead he was of the current peacock-like crop of posturing and preening Black (and White) “conservatives” and “Republicans”, how catastrophic it has proven to be that Black Americans came to be ideologically identified with the emasculating and disembowelling liberalism of the Democratic Party and just how disastrously the historical process was derailed when he was savagely murdered by Elijah Muhammad in 1965.
