The remarks about the murder of Malcom X are actually very insightful.

In the 1920's a black activist named Marcus Garvey formed an organization called the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL) and was elected the President of Africa. A bit pretentious I guess, but at least he was a "black leader" in the sense that a large number of blacks actually voted for him to lead, unlike Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who simply proclaimed themselves leaders of the "black community."

Garvey proposed a very ambitious plan for "negro" economic development, starting their own businesses, improving their own communities, and re-establishing ties with African countries with the intention of establishing communities on the African continent. Among his endeavors was to establish a black shipping line, The Black Star Line, to handle migration and commerce between Africa and the rest of the world.

Unlike the NAACP and other black "civil rights" organizations whose goal was integration and destruction of white institutions and communities, Garvey's plan was development and self determination. Garvey was squarely at odds with the NAACP, whose Jewish leadership he saw as having motives at odds with the authentic interests of American negros.

Garvey was spectacularly successful, until the powers that be decided he was too successful and had him criminally prosecuted on trumped up mail fraud charges. Guess which racist organization procured his prosecution by the Government: The NAACP. Garvey's vision of black achievement proved more appealing and more effective than the NAACP's vision of perpetual black victimhood. Garvey was convicted and deported to his native Jamaica. He died in 1940 in England. Ironically, he was a believer in racial solidarity and racial nationalism who was also a great admirer of Hitler and Mussolini.
