Black Nationalism is the support for unity and political self-determination for black citizens. Throughout his speech, Malcolm X speaks about the importance of black communities utilizing their right to vote in the upcoming election to gain momentum towards full equality. Malcolm X also indicates that it may be necessary for black communities to resort to more violent means if the government continues to prevent them from attaining full equality (X).]]> 2021-01-09 18:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/acthomsen1/v8mogcpvpnxv8v72/wish/1070162868 acthomsen1 https://padlet.com/acthomsen1/v8mogcpvpnxv8v72/wish/1070163142 "The political philosophy of black nationalism only means that the black man should control the politics and the politicians in his own community. The time when white people can come in our community and get us to vote for them so that they can be our political leaders and tell us what to do and what not to do is long gone" (X). ]]> 2021-01-09 18:42:48 UTC https://padlet.com/acthomsen1/v8mogcpvpnxv8v72/wish/1070163142 acthomsen1 https://padlet.com/acthomsen1/v8mogcpvpnxv8v72/wish/1070163247 "When we open our eyes today and look around America, we see America not through the eyes of someone who has enjoyed the fruits of Americanism. We see America through the eyes of someone who has been the victim of Americanism. We don't see any American dream. We've experienced only the American nightmare. We haven't benefited from America's democracy. We've only suffered from America's hypocrisy" (X).]]> 2021-01-09 18:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/acthomsen1/v8mogcpvpnxv8v72/wish/1070163247 acthomsen1 https://padlet.com/acthomsen1/v8mogcpvpnxv8v72/wish/1070163558
