First at all, ask yourself, is the violence a solution for getting something? Do all people have the same rights? Are white people better than black people? Despite years, “his speech is more alive than ever, especially after the racial tensions experienced in recent months for the deaths of several African-Americans at the hands of police officers” (El universo, 2015). That’s true. Nowadays we think that racism doesn’t exist, because all have got rights to live and nobody shall to kill others. But isn’t.
When the authorities want to show their power, they do it through the violence, beatings and deaths. But this isn’t a solution for all the problems, it is only a way for more wars and violence. The people are free to demand their rights and they can decide what the best for their life is.
Malcolm said “you can’t speak to him in the language of peace. He’ll break you in two. If a man speaks French, you can’t speak to him in German.” So, he recommended that black people used the violence if white people used violence against them. I think that is not the way to get respect and peace, but is a good way for you? For Martin Luther King it wasn’t the best way, which refused Malcolm’s invitations to join him. Only the Black Panther Party follows what Malcolm said and all those people sick with the injustices .
Today, all efforts of the great leaders of the black people are worthless and black people still fighting for their rights, to be respected and to be seen as normal people in society. I think white people must change their mind and thinking about black people. So, do you agree with the violence nowadays? Do you think that this kind of violence against black people is racism?
