Shabazz on Gerald = Frivolous.


W.E.B. DuBois talked about "double consciousness" in which he spoke of the Negro's ability to have different personalities in different settings. However, I do not believe that he was referring to such an inconsistency of one's character. Malik Zulu Shabazz says that he is concerned with the betterment of black people yet uses rhetoric that encourages more violence and a warlike mentality. He uses fiery language similar to such of Malcolm X yet Shabazz's usage is untimely. His language includes the observation of the black plight but condones the black perpetuation of the plight. It also alludes to a "division" between blacks and whites but concurrently encourages further separation. Shabazz has slowly chiseled away at the little respect that many held for him. This video destroyed whatever was left.
