Malcolm X ThesisEssay Preview: Malcolm X ThesisReport this essayMalcolm XThe history of the United States has in it much separation or segregation due to race. For a long time our country has seen racism as a large problem and this has caused ethnic groups to be looked down upon or forced into a lifestyle of difficulties and suppression. Due to this, races, particularly African-Americans, have been forced to deal with unequal opportunity and poverty, leading to less honorable ways of getting by and also organizations that support change. Malcolm X is one strong example of a colored man who fell into this type of hate and acted against it, uniting people to promote the advancement of colored people and change.
[quote=Norman]I’ve been very much influenced by this book on race. My mother taught me this book, I don’t have the same problems as my father’s and I read it almost every year every year since it’s first published to see what it is. Also I want to say I love it, it’s a great read. I do believe that if we do this kind of thing as people, in this country we can change things on a small scale and change a huge amount of things. It’s about understanding where you stand at all times for a positive and peaceful future regardless of the current state of power in America or if it’s going to continue to grow. I still believe that if we stop looking down on the American people, then that we can become a better place.

He’s built a great infrastructure that we will be able to invest in and he won’t just continue to run this country, but he will also change things from the very start. People need to know that this is never about money but it is a true story of racism and how we are supposed to build our country to ensure that black men on American soil live free and prosper.

Malcolm watched at a young age while the Klu Klux Klan burnt down his familys house, he also knew of his grandmother being raped by a white man, which caused his mothers light skin and his red hair. His father was killed when six white men beat him to death because they did not like what his father was doing in his organization. This was the early stage in like in which Malcolms hatred of white people begins. I believe that the high point of Malcolms hatred for white people comes when the welfare agency declares his mother insane and institutionalizes her, causing his family to be split apart. Malcolm blames the welfare agency for splitting up his family for the rest of his life. Even when he moves in with a white foster family, he is taught at school that black people are seen as lazy and dumb and will never be completely successful in this society, no matter how smart or gifted they are.
“I reflected many, many times to myself upon how the American Negro has been entirely brainwashed from ever seeing or thinking of himself, as he should, as a part of the nonwhite peoples of the world.” – Malcolm X
Malcolm begins to realize that all the white people surrounding him as constantly either indirectly or directly telling him that he does not belong in their world, and they would not let him in even if he was qualified, due to his color. At this point he knows he must leave this area and leaves his foster home to live with his sister in Boston. Although Malcolm finds work, they are dead end jobs and this leads him to have to earn money in less acceptable ways such as drugs, betting, and stealing. This is how many problems occur in poor black communities today, due to the lack of choice and opportunity for advancement. Many years of this cause him danger and drug addiction until finally he ends up in jail and his transformation begins. Malcolm meets a man named Bibi and after listening to him talk begins to study many intellectually subjects. He became particularly intrigued with the ideas of a man named Elijah Muhammad. This man founded the Nation of Islam, which Malcolm joins after getting out on parole. From here, Malcolm becomes a powerful influence and believes completely in the teachings of this form of Islam. He avidly tried to gain members and eventually becomes an important symbol to the faith due to his powerful speaking abilities.
“America needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases
