When Gordon talks about process in my previous post, this is what he's railing against. If I were in a situation where my wife and children were placed at risk, in the short term i would find someone else to speak on my behalf. But not only is hindsight 20/20, I couldn't be a messianic intellectual if you paid me.

Come on doc, let us in on what you think of Brother Malcolm's decision to speak in the D. On that matter, could you imagine any Black public intellectual going to the podium again, if their house was firebombed ever? Yeah this Macolm video is incred.

People in power have misused it, and now there has to be a change and a better world has to be built, and the only way it’s going to be built is with extreme methods. I for one will join in with anyone, I don’t care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exist on this earth.” Too bad Spike Lee's film didn't capture this Malcolm. “And in my opinion the young generation of whites, blacks, browns, whatever else there is, you’re living at a time of extremism, a time of revolution, a time when there’s got to be change.
