If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing. Malcolm X

It's more a compendium, as far as I can tell.

The only way putting debatable thesis's like this one out into the open public access and surviving at the same time is being white.

I really liked Malcom X. If not for his guts at least for his heart.

I don't associate myself with Islam. Because my spirituality is hardwired in other ways. But if i had to choose one God to believe in it most probably were Allah. Because being able to actually read the Quran and interpreting it is a gift a god doesn't give to a human that easily.

this is what the fanatics of all major religions think.. muslims, mormons, jehovahs witness, catholic, etc, etc.. they think that they are able to understand god because god has allowed them to understand..

in all of those religions, god tells them to love and he also commands them to hate.

Idk... GLR was talking about who owns the newspapers too and he ended up with the exact same fate.

Newspapers = news media.

Since apparently more than one person needs that explanation to get anything out of this quote.
