Q#1
James H. Cone describes the life and philosophy of Malcolm X. Why was Malcolm X called a racist during his lifetime? Why did Malcolm reject integration and redemptive love of whites (the strategy of nonviolence)?
Malcolm X’s philosophy revolved around the proclamation that Black is beautiful. Instead of the mainstream nonviolent strategy, Malcolm X focused on empowering Black individuals and communities. His strategy formed the foundation of the Black Nationalisms, “arguing that the racial makeup of the school population that was the problem, but that the schools were not controlled by Black people, for the benefit of the Black community” (T#1, Andrews, p.10 ). Rather than try to achieve integration, Malcolm X figured the fight for white respect, redemption, and repair was a lost cause. He was not shy about the “ “brainwashed condition of blacks” and the crimes which “the devil white man” had committed against them” (SR#1 Cone, p. 65). This rhetoric was radical to most and retaliators dubbed Malcolm X racist. Andrews asserts that “within Black Radicalism there is no inherent hatred for any group. When those like Malcolm X excoriate Whites this is not because of their ontological position of being White, but rather because of what Western society has done as White people” (T#2 Andrews, p.11). Malcolm X’s black nationalism tied into his pessimism about the state of the movement and nonviolence as an effective way to enact change. He did not want the love of a white man, for that is not enough to mend the damage he has done to African Americans. Malcolm X believed it was not the responsibility of African Americans to teach whites to be tolerant; “you don’t need pain killers for another man’s headache” (IC#1, Nigeria, Igala,). It is not the responsibility of the oppressed to justify their oppression, comfort their oppressor, and convince them to love. Malcolm X embodied Black empowerment, advocating for education, protection, and confidence.
