What happens to a a people when the identity of a country is so inextricably linked to one group - a small white Anglo-Saxon elite - so that all others are excluded from sharing it? You get a country without a shared identity. No one group has been more marginalised or denied shared identity, or been forced to have one imposed on it than African American people. There are two paths to deal with it. Accept and quietly go on or begin the painful and highly confrontational process of trying to establish your own identity. No one symbolises this struggle more forcefully or better than Malcolm X. So, this podcast is his story but it is much more. It is also the story of poor white people in America who while sharing the white elite identity have been denied their role and economic rewards by a greedy and autocratic elite who have uised them for their controlling narrative as Maga today proves. We also look at the the hierachy of colour and the role it played in your given identity as an American. This explains the dysfunctional and fractured America we see today and what future is possible gievn this dna of the nation.
