    1. Voter turnout is very much by age and younger voters always have the lowest turnout in presidential elections.
    2. Young or old, they are Americans.

    So you think we should take everything Malcolm X said as gospel?

    Maybe not, but you can certainly take something away from it. He didn’t say take it all as gospel. You thought to put words in his mouth.

    Your question implied something more than that poster had intended.

    You asked if I thought he was an uneducated liar. I said that he wasn't. That doesn't mean I share his opinion on white liberals. I understand his point, at least I think I do. But it's not an opinion I share, though I'm hardly an expert in the race relations of 60 years ago when he said it.
    And, yes, I certainly consider myself a liberal. White, too.

    He also believed that white conservatives were/are the enemy of Black people. He was directing that whole wolves/foxes analogy at white conservatives and liberals. If that's what you believe, you're welcome to your beliefs.
    “The white conservatives aren't friends of the Negro either, but they at least don't try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the 'smiling' fox.”

    Of course, these statements are from before he left the Nation of Islam.

    In other words, he considered all white people the enemy.

    Before he left the Nation of Islam, basically yes.

    No, I don't agree with his opinion. I thought I already made that clear.

    I'm not sure why you consider that a reason to leave the forum.

    You convinced me. I definitely won't be voting for Malcom X in 2024 ;)

    Too Hot is a forum on the Gator Country website. Gator Country is primarily a sports website, hosting a number of sports related forums. If you are going to "just spend 'my' time in the "Football" sections from now on," you are leaving this forum, or 'section' to spend your time on the website's sports forums.

    There clearly were laws broken. If you watch the hearings, it would be obvious. As I said before, I think that many Republicans choose not to watch strategically. That’s what makes it possible for you to say things like what you just said. You are ignoring the presented evidence to feign ignorance.

    I’m so confused… River does NOT agree that all white people are the enemy of black people. Since you say you do agree with Malcolm X here, you’re stating that all white people ARE your enemy, but somehow River is in the wrong so you’re leaving?
