I love you Sammy. I'm like you. Black and a Jew by Choice. You are/we're my hero.

SAMMY- professional cool guy

[@ryangivins]

This is gonna be good!

[@sherirobinson6867]

This interview never would have aired in the United States in 1963 that's for sure.

[@MerryLozza]

Speaking truths here even back then. Stop the hatred

[@derrickmc222]

100 % Down with his own !!....

[@jacksavage279]

If we went after revenge instead of just it would be different today.🤔

[@ChuckHarterMedia]

Norman Rockwell ?

[@ryangivins]

Rustin was embarrassing in this interview I don’t get it.

[@donjones2859]

Muslims don’t preach nor practice hatred -

[@A2bruta2]

That is not what is in the Quran 19:87 or 58:19 or 3: 149 If that is not hatred what do you call it?

[@TreyMessiah95]

NOT TRUE at all....

That's blasphemy that wasn't what the black Muslims stood for not hate No Malice none of the above. All they had to do was listen to the words that were coming out of Malcolm's mouth😢😢😢 when will our people ever wake up🤦🏿‍♂️✌🏿🖤🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@ricanredru4760]

He converted to Judaism. They may have been his programming

[@junkboxxxxxx]

The Honourable Elijah Muhammad was a self serving cult leader.

[@jeannie1032]

A man who identifies who he was, and never learned who he was....😢

[@Chamis-dt4wc]

Wasn't he half African American half Latino biologically and (at least mostly) African American by experience? He most definitely knew who he was.

[@bobbyboy1797]

Doesn't like the black Muslims. Based.

Sammy was tap dancing for them in this interview! But those who embrace interracial coupling had to tow the line and cast aspersions!

[@trishlangford5773]

Interracial coupling as you call it, is simply two people seeing each other as people not a colour. A triumph of love over bigotry. Sammy bravely led the way in America. In the rest of the world we are not so hung up on race or colour. Yes there are bigots but it's way less toxic than in America. We have a lot of interracial marriage here in Oz and they are left in peace. It's nobody else business who two people fall in love with.

[@trishlangford5773]

Sammy was speaking the truth. I will defend him forever.
