I'm sorry I have understood your words incorrectly.

We all misunderstand people at times.
I think you should study Malcolm X more thoroughly before using him as your avatar. Even some Americans who remember him for his demand for equality and his open opposition to the government of the time which resulted in martrydom, don't necessarily think of him as calling for peace. I am certain it was something he wanted, but he was very clear that it was not to be achieved by accepting what was happening around him.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
