This is one of the earliest appearances of Malcolm X on a Television Talk Show, with Lewis Lomax (1959). Malcolm X was still in the Nation of Islam and defending Elijah Mohammed’s teachings that the white man was the evil oppressor of the Black man. However, what is overlooked in his dialogue is the emphasis on SELF HELP, self preservation and self support in the Black community. From his perspective, the white man, judging from history, has never been the friend or supporter of people of color, thus the harsh rhetoric towards them in this early dialogue.
