Malcolm X in Los Angeles May 5, 1962 "Who taught you to hate yourself?"
Malcolm X founded the Organization of Afro-American Unity to fight for the civil rights of Black Americans. He had the gift of articulating his messages in such a way that he could grab a crowd's attention from the first minute of the speech to the last.In this speech from 1962, Malcolm X talks about Jesus. He tells how Jesus would be on the side of Black Americans if he were alive. Jesus always came to the defense of the most oppressed.
Who was Malcolm X?
COMMENTS
(Elijah Arredondo) It’s honestly disgusting that the [American] school system has never told me about this man. Being a white dude, the only way I really found out about Malcolm was through hip hop and this video. What a joke.
(Sir Charles Glover) What a brilliant man
(Ritah Andy) The Most misunderstood man in History... Portrayed as the "devil," and yet he was far from that. He's very iconic.

Malcolm X also talks about police brutality in the Black community in1962.
This teaching covers an interesting subject that is the lesson about who taught us to hate ourselves? When we hate what is in ourselves, we will hate also what is in our brothers and sisters.
When we start loving ourselves, we will start loving our fellows. In this way Malcolm X teaches how it's possible to strengthen each member of the Black community and not let it be divided by anything.
White/Latino rock-rappers mention Malcolm
Korn is a nu metal band from Bakersfield/OC that dabbled in drugs and rap, or one could say more than dabbled. They came up with a nice song that never really caught on called "Wicked" with the Deftones' vocalist Chino Moreno from the Life is Peachy album. It gives a nice shoutout to the importance of the legend of Malcolm X in the popular imagination.
LYRICS: "Wicked" (Korn)
Yo, Chuck, we got running mixes in the headphones
Haha!
Wicked!
Haha
[Verse 1: Chino Moreno, Jonathan Davis, and both]
One, two, three, and I come with the wicked style (style)
You know that I'm from the wicked crew
You act like you knew
But I got everybody jumping to the voodoo
Yeah, you, you can kick it wicked rhymes, picket signs
While me and the mob gotta trunk full of nines
Drop, and I'll slay ya
Play, play thug-made, ah from the heya
Ready to buck, buck, buck
But it's a must to duck, duck, duck
Before I bust ya
Looking for the one that did it
You want my vote, no you're never gonna get it
‘Cause I'm the one with the fat, mad skills
And I won't choke like the Buffalo Bills
Sittin' at the pad just chillin'
Larry Parker just got two million
Oh what a f*ckin' feelin'
That n*gga done past me the peel
And I'll slam dunk ya like Shaquille O'Neal
Like it, work it, baby I'll rock that test tube baby
Kick it, ‘cause I get…
[Chorus: Jonathan Davis and Chino Moreno]
Wicked! I told them not to keep on their fire
I'm wicked! I told them not to keep on their fire
I'm wicked! I told them not to keep on their fire
But now I'm in your face, so you'll keep on your fire (wicked!)
[Bridge: Chino Moreno]
Ooh, aah
Sh*t
Skoo-ba-coo-ze-zah-heh
[Verse 2: Chino Moreno, Jonathan Davis, and both]
Don't say nothin', just listen
Got me a plan to break Tyson outta prison
You come my way, ya get served
Still got a deuce that'll bunny hop the curb
Nappy head, nappy chest
Nappy chin, never seen with a happy grin
Gotta fat frown ‘cause I'm down
So take a look around
All you see is big black boots
Step in, use my steel toe as a weapon
And it's awfully quiet, they want to label this n*gga
Do with the sticker, but that's nasty
‘Cause I gotta body count like Ice-T
From here to New York
I get them skins, and I ain't talking about pork
You're sly, ya pig, dig, listen from the flow from a so-fro'd Caucasian
Ah, who didn't know I was as funky as Wilson Picket, but you talkin'
[Chorus: Jonathan Davis and Chino Moreno]
Wicked! I told them not to keep on their fire
I'm wicked! I told them not to keep on their fire
I'm wicked! I told them not to keep on their fire
But now I'm in your face, so you'll keep on your fire
[Bridge: Chino Moreno and Jonathan Davis]
Ooh!
Something' here with this sh*t off
Yeah
The f*ck out my case, come on
[Verse 3: Chino Moreno with Jonathan Davis]
People wanna know how come
I got a gat, and I'm sitting at the window like Malcolm
Ready to bring that noise
Kinda trigger-happy like the Geto Boys
April 29th was power to the people
Ya'll might just see a sequel
‘Cause police got equal pay
A horse is a pig that don't fly straight!
I'm doin' Darryl Gates, but is Willie Williams
Down with the Pilgrims?
I'm through with the picket signs
So I think the job is dead, get out ‘cause I get…
[Chorus: Jonathan Davis, Chino Moreno, and both]
Wicked! I told them not to keep on their fire
I'm wicked! I told them not to keep on their fire
I'm wicked! I told them not to keep on their fire
But know I'm in your face, so you'll keep on your fire
I'm wicked! I told them not to keep on their fire
I'm wicked! I told them not to keep on their fire
I'm wicked! I told them not to keep on their fire
But now I'm in your face, so you'll keep on your fire (wicked!)
[Bridge: Chino Moreno]
Fuzz
Boo-boo
Hahaha
Say!
[Chorus: Jonathan Davis]
'Cause I'm wicked! I told them not to keep on their fire
I'm wicked! I told them not to keep on their fire
I'm wicked! I told them not to keep on their fire
But know I'm in your face, so you'll keep on your fire
'Cause I'm wicked! I told them not to keep on their fire
I'm wicked! I told them not to keep on their fire
'Cause I'm wicked! I told them not to keep on their fire
But know I'm in your face, so you'll keep on your fire (wicked!)
