@Occidental I read #TheAutobiographyOfMalcolmX as a teenager and it was definitely helpful on so many levels.
Growing up in North Georgia I'd always seen Brother Malcolm weaponized against Black children to create this narrative that angry or armed Black people undermined their own cause in the civil rights movement.
Malcolm's autobiography provided so much incredible nuance that it challenged me to confront not only the narratives around #RespectabilityPolitics but also the ways that leaders like Brother Malcolm and Dr #MartinLutherKing were weaponized in attempts to critique the Black community into submission
I'd be curious to learn from other folks on #BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter how they came to learn about the spectrum of perspectives and identities within the Black community
