That distinction he makes is critical, just like the idea of "bullet or the ballot" has been taken out of context to reduce Malcolm become a militant in white eyes. When listening to him again, I found it clear he was merely talking about getting guns for the sake of self-defense, because white organized groups of violent men were hunting down black Americans, resulting in violent murders based on false accusations.

I'm sad to say though I've been ignorant on this point of support of black Americans on the Palestinian question. I guess my focus is elsewhere. It's sad to see I have to wake up to it under the light of this war.

The photographs are amazing and totally humanizing and important. They deeply resonate and your eye for this is incredible. Thanks so much for being there and reporting.
