#1 Roughly half of all African-Americans live in the American South -- from 1865 until today.

They were perfectly free to leave, and some did, but the vast majority have stayed to this day.

No mass exodus.

What's that tell you?

#2 So X marks the spot.

^ #1
BTW: There were far more FREED Black Slaves walking around in the South, than up North, before the Civil War.

OBTW: Many Freed Black Slaves, went on to own their own slaves.

#3 Why the Subway Still Floods in New York After Billions in Renovations

The New York City subway was inundated with rain on Monday night from severe storms, upending rush-hour commutes as water gushed onto platforms and trains and, in one station, shot up from a manhole like a geyser.

#5 Assassination of Malcolm X still hasn't been completely solved. Most researchers believe the Nation of Islam was behind the assassination.

#7 If the rantings of the two-bit, self-loathing street hustler Malcolm Little "X" -- aka Detroit Red -- were at all accurate, then African-American families would have departed the American South ... just like Californians are departing from California today, and New Yorkers are fleeing NY, and Illinois, and Massachusetts, etc.

The same warped mindset that somehow transformed George Floyd to sainthood also somehow transformed the former Malcolm Little.

Try, just try!!, to calculate the damage to society that has accrued........

#9 So the State of Nueva York calls the shots on how a city runs its subway/public transportation system?

#10 After Emancipation, in the second half of the 1800s, Booker T. Washington warned that there were far too many African-Americans PREACHING things,
and far too few African-Americans DOING things.

Like building things, repairing things, etc.

Malcolm X lived a life of crime, went to prison, and then got out PREACHING PREACHING PREACHING about how whitey was at fault for all of his woes, and for the woes of all African-Americans everywhere.

If Malcolm X were alive today, he'd be an MSNBC panelist PREACHING his B.S. or maybe he'd run for mayor of NYC.
