| Rage Against the Machine – Wake Up Lyrics

Malcolm X was not directly murdered by the government. By the time he was assassinated he'd made several key world-leader contacts in Asia and Africa, especially in countires which were suffering from white colonialism at that time. The US government especially hated it when he would publicly draw a parallel in his speeches between the colnialism of those countries and the sruggle for black rights in the US.
As well as this, he had made an enemy of the leadership of the Nation of Islam, who were corrupt and hypocritical, and since he knew of the illicit relationships of Elijah Muhammad (a person whom the NOI members were taught to believe was a divine being), he had very sensitive information about them which they couldn't afford to let out.
The actual assassination was summed up by his sister, Ella, as "The government were the puppeteers, and the NOI the willing puppets". |

I agree with catfishlake. after all, people posting on an internet message board in the middle of the day are totally in a position to tell a group of people who got incredibly rich at a young age and probably spend most of their time clubbing and getting laid to "get a life".
no sarcasm there. None at all. |

"do you see what you're writing? can you think? Do you think, that this bomb helped end ww2? eh, children, what the propaganda can make with you... :/"
I disagree, I think Japan being removed from the fighting completely shortened the war's duration significantly. I'm not saying whether or not I agree with it being dropped, since it seems futile to take sides on something which has already happened, but there's no denying that it helped the war to shorten. Whether the cost was worth it or not is the bit which needs deciding. |

"What the fuck, child?
How can it be amazing if you don't even know what it's about, and you can't say it's about something amazing if you're not even sure."
Songs can be amazing without knowing what they're about. Otherwise people couldn't enjoy music in languages they don't speak.
And she said it's "probably" about something amazing. She didn't say it was.
Reading comprehension is always a boon these days. |
