Malcolm X's view on Civil and Human Rights - A New Negro Speech

Malcolm X had a debate in which himself and another man were debating over Civil or Human rights, this source serves as a thesis to the New Negro concept because of Malcolm's understanding for the necessity to take our struggle and expand it from the level of civil rights (Malcolm understood that the jurisdiction of Uncle Sam regulated civil law, which was matter of you naively taking your case to the criminal) to the level of human rights and taking Uncle Sam to the world court and trialing him for over four hundred years of colonialism and hypocrisy.  Never before have I heard a person attempt to take this whole imperialistic order to the world court and trial it upon the guilt of genocide and diaspora.  I believe that Malcolm X is the next man's New Negro.  Malcolm's journey to decolonizing the white mans culture and reinventing himself through the process of decolonization is a clear sense of what a New Negro should do, to truly unmask the veil of assimilation and acculturation and decolonize the colonization that the oppressive rule has subtly instituted upon each and every Africans here in America and across the globe; Simultaneously, attempting to create a sense of world-wide solidarity amongst Black people.  Malcolm X is the most definitive New Negro/a (Gender Neutral) type I believe because of his boldness and ability to voice the articulation of struggle and knowledge.  The concept of trialing this hypocritical government for the African Diaspora and the underdevelopment of African people goes along with the New Negro, an individual who knows know boundaries because of the freedom in truth and Malcolm new truth, a truth which he exposed as much as he could.  This form of agitation in truth telling was everything that a Black person should not be, and his ability to be profoundly honest and sincere in his ideology is a New Negro act of great Revolution.
