We have 2 days until Thanksgiving break. This Thanksgiving came really fast this year but it will be the best when Ohio State beats the crap out of Michigan in Columbus. Well it will be like 7 or 8 years in a row but i have kinda lost count now. Well i guess i need to talk about class now. We are now learning about human rights and reading stories about that. The first was Nightjohn which was just a story showing how slaves were treated then which wasn't right. The second story was a chapter about Malcolm X.

Here are some quotes from Malcolm x:

Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.



I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a solution to the American black man's problem just to avoid violence.

I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color. 

I don't even call it violence when it's in self defense; I call it intelligence.

If you're not ready to die for it, put the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.


Now here are some from Martin Luther King JR.:

A man who won't die for something is not fit to live. 

A right delayed is a right denied.

A riot is the language of the unheard.

Just by these quotes you can see the difference in the ideas of the 2. Both of them were trying to get Blacks equal Malcolm x used more of an aggressive approach where Martin Luther King Jr. was more peaceful. Two totally different mentalities fighting for the same thing.
