Even now, on the 100th year of his birth, Malcolm X remains far ahead of his time.

You have to wonder if this all contributed to his death -

It was also on his 1964 trip to Africa and the Middle East that Malcolm traveled to Palestine and during his stay in Egypt met the leaders of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) who educated him on the history of Israeli Zionist settler colonialism, prompting him to advocate for the support of the Palestinian struggle against Israeli apartheid. He wrote an essay, Zionist Logic , and he once again led the way in helping us through his example of international solidarity to decolonize our thinking and actions.

Malcolm explained that in the U.S. the press and many people refer to this country as America and because of U.S. exceptionalism not acknowledging that America is a continent not a country. He goes on to talk about the important fact that there are more Black people in Brazil than there are in the U.S. and combined with all the other South American and Caribbean countries the force of the Black population united is a potential force against the Empire.

He also elaborated on Congo where he exposed the neo-colonial proxy killers of Patrice Lumumba like Moise Tshombe and Mobutu Sese Seko and explained that the US paid mercenaries who were committing mass murder dropping bombs on African villages but he said there was no outcry even from white liberals because they made it appear that it was a humanitarian project.  He warned that,“They will do it to them today and do it to you tomorrow.”  Malcolm was prophetic. History would record that 20 years after his death the Philadelphia police department under direction of the first Black mayor, dropped a bomb on the MOVE organization 40 years ago this month killing 6 adults and 5 children.
