Malcolm Who?

04Oct06

5 minutes ago, the server went off (or down or wherever it wanted to go), taking along with it, the post I’d very nearly finished but hadn’t published. I’d toiled around 2 hours on that single post alone and felt like tearing out all my hair when the server crashed with the now familiar beeping sound.

I’m too tired to write anything for now. But now that you are at it, take a look at the following link which texts the Ballot or the bullet speech by the firebrand black leader Malcolm X. I got a video of him delivering a speech that goes “What’s your name?”. It’s very mesmerising and inspiring and fiery and whatever. He remains one of my idols on account of his oratorial skills after Hitler.

I had a Microsoft Encarta Edition where for the first time I came face to face with Malcolm X. The way he was delivering his speech, his body language, his style of speaking, his attire, just about everything about him was so very perfect. To read more about him refer to the following link.

Unfortunately (though seen by many as a fortunate incident), he was killed in the Audobon ballroom where he was to give a speech. I rank him alongside Che Guevera.
