MALCOLM X: THE HOUSE NEGRO AND THE FIELD NEGRO

http://malcolmxfiles.blogspot.... during slavery, when Black people like me talked to the slaves, they didn't kill 'em, they sent some old house Negro along behind him to undo what he said. You have to read the history of slavery to understand this. There were two kinds of Negroes. There was that old house Negro and the field Negro. And the house Negro always looked out for his master. When the field Negroes got too much out of line, he held them back in check. He put 'em back on the plantation. The house Negro could afford to do that because he lived better than the field Negro. He ate better, he dressed better, and he lived in a better house. He lived right up next to his master - in the attic or the basement. He ate the same food his master ate and wore his same clothes. And he could talk just like his master - good diction. And he loved his master more than his master loved himself. That's why he didn't want his master hurt. If the master got sick, he'd say, "What's the matter, boss, we sick?" [Laughter] When the master's house caught afire, he'd try and put the fire out. He didn't want his master's house burned. He never wanted his master's property threatened. And he was more defensive of it than the master was. That was the house Negro. But then you had some field Negroes, who lived in huts, had nothing to lose. They wore the worst kind of clothes. They ate the worst food. And they caught hell. They felt the sting of the lash. They hated their master. Oh yes, they did. If the master got sick, they'd pray that the master died. If the master's house caught afire, they'd pray for a strong wind to come along. This was the difference between the two. And today you still have house Negroes and field Negroes. I'm a field Negro." http://malcolmxfiles.blogspot....

This is not about house negro or field negro dude...is about promoting our black cultures in America..WE SHOULD ALL COME TOGETHER AS BLACK AND PUT THAT TWO TYPE SHIT BEHIOND AS

Black should not fall in that trap again of divide and conquer;house negro and field negro. Its how your label yourself that counts. I'm not a house negro or a field negro. I don't care if Malcolm said it or the white man said it before him. We have to move forward and stop looking back. Look at what happened in Rwanda, people of the same race committing genocide against one another. Why? because the white people label them as one better than the other;they bought into it.

I don't think we should be classifying people as a house negro or field negro anymore. This concept shouldn't apply to black people in modern times. To call yourself a house or field negro implies that you are still a slave. The only slaves I see choose to be slaves. Ignorance is slavery, lack of education is slavery, lack of understanding is slavery. I am neither a house or field negro, I am a son, a father, a brother, a man.

ewkeewke,You are so right and I had to quit a really good job because of it. I just couldn't take it any longer. There isn't enough money in the world to make me turn my back on my people...because I am those people.

I dont think he is saying anything about MLK, but you know, you are right in a way. MLK was a house nigger, MX was a field nigger. For all the respect they got from the massa, who mo rite?
