Today is one of those days where we’ll see all the phonies, fakers, and frauds profess their love for #MalcolmX, while they go the remainder of the year completely ignoring the many Malcolm X’s, alive and breathing today.
It’s far too easy to pay homage to those who’ve transitioned, because they aren’t alive to hold you accountable for your lack of work, and participation in the struggles they fought and died for.
Meanwhile, the folks laboring in the trenches, carrying on the Black Revolutionary tradition that Malcolm was a part of, are being black-balled by academic and institutional gate keepers, who say they love Malcolm, but would hate him, and his ideas, if he were living today.
