Malcolm X's Insights on Modern Plantation Politics

In a 1963 speech, Malcolm X analyzed plantation politics, comparing the roles of overseers, house slaves, and field slaves to modern society. He argued that these dynamics persist today: globalists are the "overlords," figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Charlemagne That God represent "house Negroes," and everyday people who desire freedom are "field Negroes." He suggested that many of us, like the field Negroes, just want to break free from societal control and live as free individuals. This was also highlighted by Kevin McGarry in his discussion.
