Malcolm X born May 19, 1925

[Jack Rabbit]

"When a person places the proper value on freedom, there is nothing under the sun that he will not do to acquire that freedom. Whenever you hear a man saying he wants freedom, but in the next breath he is going to tell you what he won't do to get it, or what he doesn't believe in doing in order to get it, he doesn't believe in freedom. A man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire . . . or preserve his freedom."

1. WOW! He would have been 80 years old today.

Happy Birthday, Malcolm X. :)

2. Wasn't it convenient for the Right

How the most vocal advocates for black equality managed to get themselves murdered?

Almost too good to be true.

:sarcasm:


Isn't it strange how so many enemies of the right wing manage to find themselves on the wrong end of a "lone gunman."
