Dick Gregory started using comedy as a means of activism. Muhammad Ali became a Muslim and used his platform to fight racism. Two Black track runners (forgot their names) raised their fists at the 1967 Olympics during the medals ceremony. Those were actions Malcolm initiated. They didn’t stop being athletes or entertainers. They used their platforms for a bigger purpose. Colin Kaepernick is today’s example.

This is why African people need to join black radical organizations. We need to have political education so we the African people can push towards political power so we the African people can start to understand what real self determination is and what it really means to push towards a liberated Africa and liberated Society for our people.
