While I did love the autobiography, I don't completely believe in by any means necessary approach.
"We declare our right on this earth...to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary."
This is a moving statement, however I cannot fully agree. I agree that as a black woman, or a person in general I have the right to exist and be recognized and respected as a human being. If I am defamed, maligned, or abused that is wrong and unfair, but should I take out my anger violently by any means? Even if it means murder? It becomes a slippery slope of sorts. When is it justifiable to react to a situation like this in a violent manner? When does such a reaction become inappropriate?
Malcolm X had some very innovative ideas, but I can't agree with all of them. Of course, during his famed trip to Africa he changed his tune and realized that we are all brothers and sisters on this planet regardless of our race.

He was cool, I wish he was still here and No i am not a Muslim. But any means necessary could mean anything but I don't think so, but that statement was cool.

At that time he was alive, but nowadays, even though racism is still alive, unity in our community is the best weapon
