MALCOLM X: It was the fact that you threw 80% of your vote behind the Democrats that put the Democrats in the White House. What do you get out of it? You put them first, and they put you last . . . because you're a chump

Anytime you throw your weight behind a political party,  and that party can't keep the promise that it made to you during election time and you're dumb enough to walk around continuing to identify yourself with that party, you're not only a chump but you're a traitor to your race.  --Malcolm X, "The Ballot or the Bullet" speech, April 12, 1964, given at the King Solomon Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan. 

Trump went to bat for wrongly convicted black Americans. We should all have his back.  https://t.co/5cEMcStp9I
