Stop Snitchin?: Malcolm X a true G
We as black folk always talk about stop snitching. When I look at this video, it makes me more proud of them man that has influence me since I was a kid. Before him it was always Martin Luther King Jr. and JFK and RFK. However when I got into him I saw myself in him. I think that the realest G's I have seen where Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm x (more so Malcolm for me). Anytime you can tell the government to go fuck yourself and not be afraid of your own death that's GANGSTA. This is why I love King's Last Speech and why i love Malcolm X. But what about us? We talk about not snitching on those that don't give a damn about us and harm our communities. It's the hood code you don't snitch. So we allow criminals to run free because we are too chicken shit to put them in jail. Of course the cops don't make it any better, when they are not the epitome of upstanding citizenship and morality. We are are own worst enemy. But this video says alot, that even though he was on bad terms with the nation he could've talked but he didn't. Malcolm even knew they hustle and used it against them. Think of all the leaders that would talk to the Feds and other agencies to bring that other black groups and leaders (Marcus Garvey is a good example see documentary in the February slot), but he wouldn't do it. That's outstanding, he may have once talked about other leaders but he wouldn't work with the enemy to get them out of the way. How many would do the same for him? Here we go snitchin to the cops on ourselves and others, but when do we unite against our common enemy and tell them I will not help you bring down my people or any black organization that strives for the betterment of my community and people. More importantly how many of us are willing to die for our beliefs? Malcolm and Martin was. I don't know about others, but I am trying to understand this so I can be able to no fear my death or those killing me because of what I believe in or stand for. After watching this video alot of people that use the stop snitching theme to harbor criminals and people that harm others and their own community should be ashamed. You got to admire him, that was a true man. We should learn from this and strive to be better.
