Racial segregation is enjoying a massive revival amongst the woke left, in the US in particular. In what appears to be an outbreak of racialist retro-chic, leftists are demanding segregated “black spaces” on colleges and in housing. Hipster cafes declare themselves “black spaces only”.
Well, it looks like that’s the lunch counters sorted. Now all they need to do is set up separate, “Coloured” drinking fountains and bathrooms and set aside the back of the bus for “negroes”, and their apparent mission to reinstate Jim Crow will be complete.
If it seems like the left are making everything old in racial segregation new again, they’re only taking lessons from their idols of the past.
A previously unpublished interview with a Nation of Islam minister has revealed a detailed account of a secret two-hour meeting involving Malcolm X and the Ku Klux Klan that discussed an extraordinary unholy alliance.
The conversation on January 28, 1961, detailed in a forthcoming biography of Jeremiah Shabazz, reveals how, on behalf of Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X and a fellow minister sought the white supremacist terrorist group’s help in acquiring a “separate state” for black Americans opposed to integration.
On Black Panther’s release, more than a few critics noticed that black separatist fantasyland Wakanda seemed suspiciously like the sort of ethnostate that white nationalists like Richard Spencer want. As it turns out, the rapport between black and white nationalists goes back a long, long way.
According to Malcolm X’s fellow minister, the Klansmen offered Nation members the right to wear “purple robes” as Klan partners and sought in vain to enlist the Nation’s help in assassinating Martin Luther King Jr[…]
The meeting occurred after the Brown versus Board of Education judgment in 1954[…]prompting its leader to accept the KKK’s invitation.
It’s not gone without notice, either, that the demands of Black Lives Matter and its Intersectionalist philosophy are at complete odds with Martin Luther King Jr’s message. BLM and its cronies want people to be judged entirely on the colour of their skin. Radical black movements have made the same racist common ground with the likes of the Klan from the very beginnings of the Civil Rights movement.
After Malcolm X made his case for “complete separation of the races”, as opposed to segregation or integration, enabled by the acquisition of land, [Klansman WS] Fellows replied: “Whatever you … want, it’s fine. Call it whatever you like. As long as you stay over there and you’re glad to be black, good”.
It’s not for nothing that BLM are dubbed “The Klan With a Tan”.
