POST #3! (REVISED)

I am really bothered by the fact that Malcolm always talks about the "blue-eyed devil white man". I understand that back then the whites had treated the blacks which much disrespect. This disrespect was beyond anything I have ever heard of, and it is absolutely horrible to even think of it. Every time Malcolm says something about what whites did to blacks in the past, it makes me feel guilty that I am white. Malcolm says while lecturing," I want you, when you leave this room, to start to see all this whenever you see his devil white man. Oh, yes, he's a devil! I just want you to start watching him, in his places where he doesn't want you around; watch him reveling in his preciousness, and his exclusiveness, and his vanity, while he continues to subjugate you and me"  (217). Malcolm takes a stand about these white men and think that they are all devils. I completely disagree with what he says. What he feels toward the white men is beyond hatred. I feel that every black man was against every white man. The "devil white man" has definitely acted horribly to people of different races, including blacks. But, some white men were actually good and did help the black people get away from their slave-masters. For example, during the times of slavery, some white men did help their slaves escape to the under ground railroad. This shows that some whites were sympathetic towards how blacks were treated. So when Malcolm says "the devil white man" I get so mad because not everyone feels the same way and everyone has different opinions on certain things. I know that I am speaking from a white persons point of view but if one black person did something horrible to me I wouldn't take it out on the entire race. It just seems to me that Malcolm is making the racism movement worse when at times in the 50's and 60's they were just getting better. And what also bothers me is that Malcolm openly says it to the media and public that he white man is the devil. That takes a great amount of courage because the way that the white men acted towards the blacks, I feel that Malcolm could have gotten killed for expressing his feelings. 

Even though I disagree with what Malcolm says and feels, I do understand the way he thinks. One time, someone called me weird right to my face and it wasn't even anyone who I talked to. This made me mad because this random kid had no right saying this to me because he doesn't even know who I am. Till this day, I still do not like the person who called me weird and I don't like his friends either because I think they are all obnoxious. This relates to Malcolm X because the white people would hurt the black people and the black people would hold grudges. The only difference in the situation with Malcolm X is that Malcolm is telling the black people not to forgive the white people after the white people are trying to apologize. If the kid that called me weird apologized, then I probably would not have as much disrespect for him as I do now.
