In 1964, Malcolm X said, “Anytime you throw your weight behind a political party…and that party can’t keep promises that it made…and you’re dumb enough to walk around continuing to identify with that political party, you’re not only a chump, but a traitor to your race.” So what do you think Malcolm X would say to radio host Tom Joyner’s “plea to the Black man” blog statement: “Let’s not deal with the facts right now…let’s just deal with our Blackness and pride – and loyalty. We have a chance to re-elect the first African-American president, and that’s what we ought to be doing…because he’s a Black man”?
