Malcolm X:
The worst enemy that the Negro has is the white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have.
If the Negro wasn’t takeN, tricked or deceived by the white liberal, then Negros would get together and solve our own problems.
I only cite these things to show you that in America, the history of the white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negros think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems. Our problems will never be solved by the white man.
Wow!
Sage words spoken by Malcolm X decades ago. Nothing much has changed since he uttered these words. White liberals continue running around telling black people that they need to be rescued, they need people looking out for them, fighting the power on their behalf.
They refuse to treat black people with the respect of holding them to the same standards they hold everyone else to. Every problem that the black man has is blamed on some “other.”
To a large extent because of this, we never address the real problems that affect many in black America. After all if everything wrong in our lives is to blame on someone else, then there is nothing for us to fix, right.
