Whatup mofos, i'm takin US History this year and since i'm Canadian, this is really the first time i've taken it. Anyways, i'm writin my term paper on Malcolm X and was wondering how prevalent he was in your US History textbooks used in highschool especially in comparison to MLK. The one we're usin doesn't seem to talk about Mr. X all that much (2 pages max) and i was wondering if 2Pac's two-liner in "Words of Wisdom" holds true for the texts you guys have used in the past. Would appreciate your help. Thanks.

the way i sort of look at why he isnt tought about so much in public schools as compared to a person like MLK, is because he was pretty racist for a long time. he didnt really stop being racist until he made his trip to mecca.
how do you teach about this man too a bunch of young minds who might get the wrong idea about him or take away the negative things he preeched about. plus you would have to bring in the NOI and that might go against church and state to some point, plus NOI is completely racist.
