Originally obtained from the Vincent Voice Library at Michigan State University.

Note: I had set up the video response to be by my approval, just to weed out any spam. However, in the time this video has been up, I’ve gotten a few responses, none of which were spam, and yet youtube won’t give me the option to allow them. So I’ve set it up for automatic approval, hopefully that will work. If you’ve submitted a video response before and it didn’t go through, try again.

    Ugh. While I’m no fan of the media, and the pro-Israel lobby. Please don’t spread the hate speech about Jews, drugging and brainwashing the American public is an activity undertaken by people of many backgrounds.

    It’s no mystery that, whenever corporate media brings up Malcolm X for any reason, you only see his face and hear only a few very select sound bites. He is treated as a dusty artifact of history.

    Listen to any of his speeches. There is NO WAY his speeches will ever be broadcast again! The Jews who’ve drugged and brainwashed the U.S.A. into its current stupor know that Malcolm’s words would jar us awake. What he preached here is even more relevant than it was in 1964!
