Yet, when Malcolm wanted to change the focus to Human Rights and take the U.S. before the world courts he was shot down (figuratively, who knows who REALLY hired those thugs who murdered him!) by these very same folks. In fact, Amnesty International, among others, is fighting this same type of second- and third-class citizenship in other countries that was the norm here in the liberated U.S. as recently as 30 years ago.
White folks are laughing all the way to the bank. Our civil rights movement gave them license and opportunity to harness our intellectual and economic power, in addition to our labor from which they have benefitted for 500 years.
