Malcolm X - The House Negro and the Field Negro

[Quixote1818]

I am not posting this in response to Maher. I just found it fascinating.

1. A parable for the ages!

A horrifying history lesson.

A lesson for today.

Pure unadulterated genius.

2. Denzel Washington did an astounding job in Spike Lee's "X"...

That sermon is in the film and I swear you would be very hard pressed to tell the difference. Its a damn shame that Washington's performance did not get all of the acclaim it should have.

3. At least Denzel got an Oscar nomination for it, crazy that Spike Lee didn't

4. More than just fascinating

Long audio, but worth all 23 minutes I spent listening to it.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

5. I was in a room with about half a dozen people when Real Time was on

and just about everyone made the connection immediately.

7. perhaps if bill mahrer had said house negro

in all truth and honesty i remembered the speech as house Ni..... not house negro...
don't know when that transition took place

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

8. Our reaction was that it had gone right over the head of the guest,

But otherwise it was just "Malcolm X right?" followed by a chorus of "yeah, I think so"

Not surprised by the reaction though.

6. Good piece. The man was a sociologist, politician, visionary, and a great speaker.
