Hans I love the comparison you made between Martin Luther king Jr. and Malcolm X. I agree that if both of these two men had lived black people in general would probably have been in a better socio-economic status today.

The oppress needs people like MLK and Malcolm X. They provide a balance, sometimes men like MLK can be too tame or passive in their actions, they need men like Malcolm X to give them that extra push they might need. At the same time I believe men like Malcolm X need the likes of Martin Luther king to keep them from going overboard.

It's sort of like a push and pull relationship.

In another note, It would be nice if you eliminated the racial slurs in your comments.

You presented a great argument but the racial insults diminished it to some degree.

One of my cousins spent 8 years in the military, of that 8 years he spent 3 years in Germany where he met a German girl they're married and have 3 kids now. Another one of my cousin is with a Puerto Rican.

Sometimes the grown ups make their nasty little remarks but it's usually out of frustration of the language barrier.

We are traditional simple Haitians, my family is not from money and both the German and Puerto Rican are not from money either.

So we all get alone fairly well. Whatever none sense or feeling of superiority that exist among traditional white, and mulatto Haitians and the rest of us black Haitians it doesn't exist in my family.

Maybe I have invested interests, but i still think that your opinion will have far more weight without the racial insults.
