It shows my folks weren't immune to stereotypical thoughts back in 1961 or 1962, when the photo was taken.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-24438371393938744052011-10-30T14:44:19.370-07:002011-10-30T14:44:19.370-07:00Anon: Malcolm X's statement was a racist state...Anon: Malcolm X's statement was a racist statement about blacks.
