The Angriest Black Man in America
Malcolm X described himself as the angriest black man in America.
What was he so angry about?
Malcolm X once said, If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.
The thing Malcolm stood for was freedom for black people.
Black people were sometimes called colored.
Because of Jim Crow laws, signs such as this were posted near drinking fountains, hotels, restaurants, waiting rooms, and other public places.
Segregation and discrimination
Malcolm X hated the way white people treated black people in the United States. Slavery had been outlawed in 1865, but white people still acted like they were better than black people. These white people created Jim Crow laws to keep the races separate. According to these laws, black people could not go to the same schools, use the same public restrooms, or live in the same neighborhoods as white people. This separation of races is called segregation.
Malcolm was angry about the discrimination that resulted from segregation. Since white people made the Jim Crow laws, they controlled where black people lived and worked. Black neighborhoods were more run-down than white neighborhoods. Black people had lower-paying jobs than white people. Jim Crow laws prevented black people from going to college and from getting high-paying jobs.
Malcolm was angry because black people felt stuck. They had to go along with segregation because there were consequences if they did not. They might be threatened or beaten by white supremacists. White supremacists believe whites are better than nonwhites. Some white supremacists lynched, or killed, black people who broke the rules
