What Others Are Saying

Islam does not dehumanize women at all. Peter Paul and Stephanie you misspelled dehumanize. Please use spell-check. That is an easy tactic to say something negative about the religion. Educated people know there is a difference between culture and religion. Women were considered dirty, and even demonic by the English church, and during the Middle Ages they used the bible to justify this. Women were treated better in Muslim territories than they were in Europe throughout history, including the Middle, Medieval, and Dark Ages. When Europeans conquered Muslim territories they learned about romance, the art of poetry, and swaying a woman with flowers and love letters, from the Muslims. They took it back to Europe, especially France and England and used it. Due to economical distress and lack of education many Muslim countries tend to slip back into this Medieval thinking towards women. However it is, it can never be as degrading as how women were treated in Europe before the rights they are privileged to today. Instead of criticizing, be grateful.

Had to point out that Muslims don't dehumanize woman, that's a cultural thing... depends on the country.

Peter Paul and Stephanie wrote
OK So he wasnt racist.

But he was a muslim, a religion that dehumanises women.
Thats worse in my book.

Before converting to islam, think of your momma who raised you.

Alright...from my own view that comes from quotes but also overreliance on the movie "X" (which was based pretty accurately on his autobio, i believe)
1. White society, esp the power structure, composed of active racists, a lot of ppl who didnt stand up, and precious few voices of morality A) murdered his dad for speaking against disc. B) split up him and his siblings and took them out of their poor mother's care C) told him in grade school "everyone hear likes you but...a lawyer isnt a realistic goal for a nigger" and then D) gave him a much higher sentence for burglary than was normal b/c the court knew he'd had a sexual relationship w/ a white woman

if that shit happened to me (and the only empowering person i met was in the NOI) id probably be convinced too that white ppl are devils and separation and violence likely to be necessary

BUT he later rejected automatic hatred against whites, always meant violence to protect ones community, and rejected hypocrisy and dogmatism in NOI (leading to his assassination by members)

I have more far respect for brother Malik Al Hajji Shabazz than for MLK and definitely Barack Obama who I think sold us out. But we wear that shirt and forget his more relevant yet less popular message-DO FOR SELF!

@Chris:
Well said, man. That's pretty much the whole gist of Malcolm right there.

Chris wrote
For those of you who think Malcolm was a terrorist, and a psychopathic killer, he wasn't. The reason he joined Nation of Islam was because it turned his life around for the better. He sold drugs and lived a sad life going no where until he was imprisoned, where he became more literate and found Nation of Islam. You would teach the preachings that saved your life if you got the chance too. It took a while but he realized they were wrong, and he did preach much better things after.

"Now in speaking like this, it doesn't mean that we're anti-white, but it does mean we're anti-exploitation, we're anti-degradation, we're anti-oppression." ballot or bullet speech, if youre anti exploitation, anti degradation or anit oppression of ANY people,you oughtta wear it.

Stig wrote
How could it not be okay for white people to wear this? After Malcolm moved away from N.O.I., he said how deeply he regretted not letting white people help and how wrong it was.

So yes, based on what he himself said closing in on his last days, it would be perfectly okay.

I wore this to my school and a black person smashed my face in

If Malcolm X was a "terrorist" then MLK was a plant by the man to encourage a non-violent submission to the powers that be. And they be bogus.

Brother Malcom was killed by the nation of islam for converting to traditional islam. In this photo he is protecting himself from his former brothers.

judge the present, not past wrote
Malik Shabaz did have various views on white people at first. but before he died it is well known that he was NOT racist in any way. this was due to the Islamic pilgramige he made and saw believers of all colors. thats what drove him to the orthodox islam. if your an illiterate and dont want to read about him watch the movie as the dude above says.

shirt looks dope, imma buy it and wear it.
im a brown guy

Malcolm was a not a separatist, but a Black Nationalist, which meant that he believed that only blacks should define and direct their freedom movements. He was also not non-racial as someone suggested above. More than hating whites, which is how he is usually characterized, he hated how being white was essentialized as American or superior, which meant that everyone who wasn't white was inferior or a second-class citizen. Very few whites could comprehend how racists this was, and by extension, how racist they could be, and therefore, Malcolm saw them as irrelevant to the black liberation struggle. Read his speeches in Malcolm X speaks and I think you will come to a similar conclusion.

This NTIRE panel is bonkerz - save tha few dat give tha history of Brother Malcolm. He wuz against oppression - oppression is not ethnic, it's national!!!

QDiddy wrote
Jeez PEOPLE! Malcolm Little was given a "X" after his name by Elijah Muhammad when he converted from christianity to The Nation. The "X" took the place of what muslims back then referred to as the slavemasters last name. A name not self-chosen. Malcolm was obviously NOT a terrorist. Who did he terrorize? Kill? Hurt? If you or your family was receiving death threats CONSTANTLY, had your house firebombed while kids were inside, etc...what would you do? Remember this is the 60's...
