Remembering Malcolm Shabazz

The assassination of Malcolm Shabazz on Mexican soil may of last year got very little media buzz here in the United Snakkkes. The grandson of the late, great Malcolm X was brutally murdered when he took a trip down to Mexico to help the poor and oppressed people dealing with labor issues. Although the story changes on how and why he was killed, the attitude here in amerikkka remains the same- "oh well, one less negro of power"- that contributed to the fight of liberation and equality.

Just like his Grandfather before him, Malcolm survived the trials and tribulations that ruthlessly faced him only to rise out of the cocoon of oppression and on to greatness. The "Greatness" that I speak of is totally in violation when it comes down to upholding the rule of whyte nonsupremacy because our brothers succeeded in awakening a nation and teaching us how we too can break the shackles from our minds. Young Malcolm was a Great, young man despite being called "The underdog of the family" by blood-stained capitalist United Snakkkes. He has come a long way in this struggle and chose to follow in the legacy of his Grandfather Malcolm X, creating his own path and is damn-well worth the million questions we are asking pertaining to his death, and if he was "Amerikkka's child", heads would be rolling! Colonized minds of color here and in Mexico could care less about what happened to him, but warriors like Wilner Metelus and other comrades have not taken brother Shabazz's death lightly and have been persecuted for demanding justice for Young Malcolm. POOR MAGAZINE sends big love to Metelus for holdin' it down in Mexico and big love to the indigenous folks for acknowledging our brother through proper and respectful dance and ceremony.

 The US has never shown much interest when it comes to justice for people of color here on this soil, with the exceptions of half-assed pacified forms of justice, if one is "fortunate" enough to get that. The fact that what happened to Brother Malcolm was not here in the US makes it much more easier to sweep under the rug as a "international problem." To add to that, the hypocrites continue to throw stones and hide their hands, but great people whose characters were assassinated should not have the great things they achieved be overlooked or disowned and to honor the ancestors should not be up to racist oppressors who would rather for us to honor those who made this land the bloody beast that it is today which would be more than likely THEIR ancestors.

This is the usual cointelpro tactic inflicted upon the TRUE freedom fighters- that don't use ego or power to stain the struggle. Western "History" has left this soil saturated in blood and many of our ancestors who died here screaming in torment. The genocide, land theft and colonization of the WORLD is considered heroic in the Amerikkkan textbooks and to learn about, acknowledge and celebrate the most horrific crimes in and against nature is mandatory in western society in order to "progress."

Where is the progress in the thorough investigation of Young Brother Malcolm and countless others who lost their lives in the struggle? (sarcastically) We're waiting.... And demanding! Much love, respect and justice to all of us that are still here, and to those who passed on. You will not be forgotten. Rest In Power, Young Brother Malcolm!  -QUEENNANDI X, PNN
