“Back during slavery, when Black people like me talked to the slaves, they didn’t kill him, they sent some old House Negro along behind him to undo what he said.”

Malcolm was a prophet whose words are more relevant today than ever before. Seems to me that we should retain a healthy suspicion of any black figure that throngs of white people adore. Be they entertainer or president, the “House Negro” is a puppet to the interests of his master. Granted, today this analogy is applicable across all races to a varying extent.
