Man's Sufferings On The White Man example essay topic
Malcolm says", I didn't miss a single opportunity to tell the truth about the crimes, the evils and the indignities that are suffered by the black man in America (pg 351)". He simply generalizes all Whites to be evil and tells how the White men had oppressed them. He doesn't seem to realize that Whites nowadays are different from who they were before in the past. He was telling the truth, of the cruel history of the Whites, but the truth didn't apply to all Whites as he thought. If he had witnessed the spirit of true brotherhood during his pilgrimage in Mecca, shouldn't he be more open-minded, have more sympathy and a magnanimous heart towards the White people His speeches caused the blacks to hate the Whites and commit violent crimes against them.
"New York City's press was highly upset about a recent killing in Harlem of a White woman, for which many were blaming me at least indirectly (pg 365)". This shows that Malcolm was a great orator, who could unite the blacks, bur it would have been better off if he had thought more to love one another, to become one as brothers, as written in the Quran. His 'Blood Brothers' onl consisted of Negroes. If we all are, as he says, the descendents of God's creation, why can't Whites as well be a part of his 'Blood Brother' Malcolm actually says that there is only a minority of 'brotherly" white people.
"Yes, I have been convinced that some American whites do want to help cure the rampant racism which is now the path to destroy this country! (Pg. 365) " He has no sympathy for other Whites than the White Muslims, and doesn't even try to compromise with them. As much as he defended the rights of the Blacks, and preached of the Whites' historical crimes, he denied the Whites and couldn't get out of his racial prejudice. How could he actually say that there was only a minority of "brotherly" white people, when he, himself, didn't even bother to socialize or integrate with the Whites in America, to get to know each of them better Muslims of white complexions were the only people whom Malcolm considered as brothers. He did not accept other Whites as his brothers; he was still a racist to them. Malcolm denies the White people, and before accepting them as human beings, he first perceives their 'white's kin color and starts to hold a racial prejudice against them.
He lies the responsibility of the Black man's sufferings on the White man unconditionally, that it is their entire fault.
