People who have known me for a long time, understand the level of respect and admiration for Malcolm X. First off the brother was intelligent. His intelligence was not just a learned quailty, it was innate. Second, the man was HANDSOME! lol. I want a little bit of Malcolm X mixed into my future husband. But secondly, Malcolm was very progressive in his thinking about the Black woman, and the women of the world.

Malcolm once said :
If you are in a country that is progressive, the woman is progressive. If you're in a country that reflects the consciousness toward the importance of education, it's because the woman is aware of the importance of education. But in every backward country you'll find the women are backward, and in every country where education is not stressed its because the women don't have education

My dad once said:
never want something so bad that you will allow people to make a fool out of you.
