1992 CBS NEWS SPECIAL REPORT: "Malcolm X: The REAL Story"

46m 46slongitud

CBS News will broadcast a special report tonight called "Malcolm X: The Real Story." Calling this show "the real story" might be the most outrageous TV claim of the year. The show itself is a superficial archival-clips-and-quickie-interview job with Dan Rather as host. As such, it probably wouldn't be worth too much attention. But the fact that it will be seen by about 20 million people tonight and that CBS is telling those viewers that they are seeing "the real story" opens the door for a look at how TV has dealt with Malcolm X over the years. "Like Paul Robeson before him, American TV proved inhospitable to . . . Malcolm X," J. Fred MacDonald said in his 1992 book "Blacks and White TV: African Americans in Television Since 1948." "Except for a few black-hosted programs long after his assassination in 1965, television has portrayed Malcolm X as a hate-filled, racist radical." That's the general assessment of media historians: TV either excluded Malcolm X or portrayed him negatively when it did include him. Thereis also agreement that TV's depiction of Malcolm X as a "hate-filled, racist radical" started with CBS News correspondent Mike Wallace and a TV special on Black Muslims that Wallace co-anchored in 1959, "The Hate That Hate Produced." In fact, Wallace played a larger role in the characterization of Malcolm X over the years than any other single person in television. Tonight's "real story" includes a clip from "The Hate That Hate Produced." It also includes Wallace's reflections about his first encounter with Malcolm X. The 1959 show and Wallace's performance are both presented in a favorable light. What "Malcolm X: The Real Story" doesn't tell viewers is that "The Hate That Hate Produced" took TV news to new heights of sensationalism by portraying Malcolm X and other Black Muslims only as hate-filled, racist radicals. Here's how Malcolm X himself described the show and reaction to it in his autobiography: "In a way, the public reaction to the show was like what happened back in the 1930s when Orson Welles frightened America with a radio program, describing, as though it were actually happening, an invasion by 'men from Mars.' "Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers were exclaiming, 'Did you hear it? Did you see it? Preaching hate of white people?' Here was oneof the white man's most characteristic behavior patterns -- where black men are concerned. He loves himself so much that he is startled if he discovers that his victims don't share his vainglorious self-opinion." Tonight's show doesn't mention that. It also doesn't mention the New York Times' review of "The Hate That Hate Produced" that blasted the report, saying, "Mike Wallace's penchant for pursuing sensationalism as an end in itself has backfired." In a recent interview with The Sun, Mr. Wallace defended the 1959 broadcast, saying that six months later the New York Times did a similar series on the Black Muslims while citing his work. "TV in effect led the way," Wallace said. But Wallace acknowledged that TV did not do a very good job of reporting on Malcolm X.

Malcolm got rid of his white last name...but Malcolm is a white name too...ha ha ha...he also loved dressing in the white mans suit and tie.....and using the white man's inventions like tv and cars....ha ha ha
The guy at 26:18 and the guy who comments there after are nothing but cowards. Malcom X taught people to be brave and stand as men and to never compromise with someone who is burning your wife by allowing him to burn your children instead. The lack of unity amongst blacks reminds me of the tribalism inAfrica which is part of the reason we are still unable to build a single successful state without corruption or destructive infiltration from the west
He MalolmX..... despite what you might think about him in my view he was a brave man, honest, an intellectual an icon for us non white, one in a million. He was brilliant but cut down in the twinkling of an eye by an idiot with dull intelligence who may now be thinking in lonliness of the terrible his act he had done. Malcolm X still lives on much loved. R.I.P brother.
I'm GLAD Kennedy was assassinated. " The chickens come home to roost" was ON POINT.
In 1946, when Malcolm was sentenced to 10 years for burglary...what the judge was really sentencing Malcolm for wasn't burglary, but rather, that he had been ha UNC intimate sexual relations with white women and the judge didn't like that. So he gave him a harsher sentence.
JUST A THOUGHT. IF MALCOM WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR INCREASING MEMBERSHIP IN THE NOI, THAN HOW COME THOSE NUMBERS INCREASED AFTER HE DIED? One with a an ioda of intellegence would assume if a man is responsible for increasing membership, than those increased numbers would have decreased when he became deceased.
KILL THE CRACKER HE SAID !!
always pay attention to how is telling the story.........
always going to fine some uncle tom Ni.,6r.... to put a great man down......
Why do many White Americans hate, demonize, fear and look down on blacks? I am no scientist or scholar, but here is I how I currently think about it. This post is very much a work in progress.

There are plenty of things that keep white racist thinking in place:

Racist messages in jokes, history books, the news and on television, etc,
Material self-interest,
Fear of becoming an outcast among whites
and so on. But this is not the heart of the matter.

Not even material self-interest. After all, plenty of poor whites are racist. About all they have to show for it is this: “At least I’m not black.” And that gives it away: it is about white self-image.

My current understanding of the white self-image:

Narcissism – having no true sense of self-worth they put up a false front to persuade the world, and most of all themselves, that they do have worth. They mainly do this through money, but also by putting down others to make themselves look better. Deep down they know the whole thing is a lie, which makes them all the more desperate to uphold the front.
Dichotomous thinking – either/or thinking. Their films often have characters who are either all good or all evil. When you ask them about it they say that of course they know the world is not that simple, that it is just a storytelling device. Yet much of their thinking is very either/or, black-or-white. The One Drop Rule is a good example. So is their idea that they are Basically Good, getting upset when you point out anything that does not fit that overblown self-image. Like that maybe they are racist. Worst of all, it means they cannot accept people who are too different: if you are not the same as us then there must be something wrong with you. Either/or.
Moral blindness – this is huge. Every single black person in the eyes of white people is the sign of a terrible crime from their ugly past, a reminder that their life is a fraud, that they are pretty much nothing more than armed robbers. But #1 and #2 make it hard for them to simply own up to their past and make it right. Instead they deny, shift blame, lie, twist facts and make black people into these creatures that they look down on, laugh at and yet, oddly, fear. It is a failed attempt to be at peace with themselves. This is why whites need to give reparations more than blacks need to receive it.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with black people other than the bad patch of history they are going through, its side effects and the ordinary human failings. It is white people who have a deep crack in their souls.

I know that sounds extreme – partly because we have “white is right” pounded into our heads night and day – but their history shows that there is something seriously wrong with them.Thu 2 Jan 2014 by abagond
