Thank you, Is there a particular work of his you'd recommend?

I'd say start off by reading pic related. It's not only a good book on the black struggle but also goes into a bit of psychology, even if Malcolm X didn't intend it to. Understanding that no one can love you the way those of your own race can and the implications of intergationism that people like Martin Luther king, who later recanted from his beliefs, would entail. It really speaks to blacks on a personal scale and what I like most about big X is that he literally doesn't give a fuck. He discusses some of the hardest topics you can and saw the world as it really was. He made whites feel like victims for once and cry out racism. He had black and white liberals trying to tear him down and made one of the best black owned and self reliant organisation the world had ever seen. Until emotion and jealousy ruined things. But yeah, you can probably tell I really like this guy. Only criticism of him is that he was a Muslim. But I think that it was necessary for him.

Most of the major Black Nationalist figures wrote autobiographies/memoirs, which double as both histories of the movement, and insight inside the minds of its leaders, so you'd be as well starting with them. Here's a non-exhaustive list:
Paul Robeson - Here I stand
Robert F. Williams - Negroes With Guns
The Autobiography of Malcolm X (most people start with this)
Huey Newton - Revolutionary Suicide
Bobby Seale - A Lonely Rage
Ready for Revolution - Kwame Ture (aka Stokely Carmichael)
Assata Shakur - Assata: An Autobiography
Angela Davis: An Autobiography

Also worth remembering that the Black Nationalist movement in America was, (and still is) heavily influenced by the Pan-Africanism of Marcus Garvey, the Theological ideas of the Nation of Islam, & the Marxist Anti-Colonial writings of Lenin, Mao, Castro, and Kwame Nkrumah, so if you want to understand black nationalist thought on its own terms, you should also read up on them.

Decent recc. Only issue is that this was during Malcolm's self confessed coocoo days of the NOI. Still, there are some gems in there.

Black Skin, White Masks. It is Fanon’s most existentialist work as far as I know, not saying much, but it is important for people of all races to understand how colonialism impacted our psyche, I would say especially since we are still following that model.

No bother. Also, Fred hampton never wrote an autobiography, or else I would've posted it. He was a major enough figure, that I'd recommend reading up on him nonetheless.

Reminder: Malcolm X was a homosexual prostitute who was described by his own wife as "impotent" and incapable of satisfying her sexually

Black nationalist rhetoric always talks tough, but inevitably it's revealed that its biggest practitioners were secretly scared little frauds putting on a show for slobbering white liberals

pic related, it's how most of them end up: lying face down in nothing but their panties, murdered by their own hateful ideology and its consequences

I read his names a dozen times a month for a phase of my life but I can't get pass 10 pages of his book.

I think since he writes as a psychoanalyst and existentialist a lot of people find that book to be kind of difficult for lack of a better word. What was your problem with it?

Read this

Absolutely hilarious outline of how leftist retards in the 60s and 70s like the Weather Underground went around trying to prove to black radicals they were "with it," only to inevitably get scammed, injured, and humiliated. They did this REPEATEDLY and never ever stopped trying to prove to black people they were cool. Reminded me of Lucy and Charlie Brown's football

This is when they weren't accidentally blowing themselves up with pipe bombs and giving each other crabs

True, in a single African country like Nigeria, the diversity of culture is immense. People talk a lot about racism from whites towards blacks but as a black Brit I've seen more racism from other blacks than whites. I've never been stopped by a security guard while leaving a shop but I did once by a Nigerian guy. Was weird. But then again I do blame this on the effects of colonialism and think the hardest part about creating a black nationalist country is getting these niggers, and I say that with hate the same way Malcolm X did when referring to the NOI after jealousy caused the organisation to fall down, to work together.

That's still a trash definition of race you nigger. You don't have a single kind of coon in africa but a shitload of differents grape-sucking people. It wpuld be lile saying there's a white race in Europe despite the constant conflicts and widly differents performances at home and abroad.
