Russians Trolling Black Voters -Appropriating Words of Malcolm X
October 20, 2018
Just 18 days before voters hit the booths in the 2018 midterm election and Russian
trolls (for lack of a better definition) have launched a vigorous attack on Black voters with an old Malcolm X Speech.
In the early 1960s Malcolm X broke down the Democratic Party as the northern wolves and the southern Dixiecrats. During this period of American history, Blacks were prohibited from voting in the Democratic Party Primaries in the South. These primaries were termed as the White Primary by southern Blacks. The White Primary determined the white Democrat who would represent the Democrats on the ballot in November. Blacks usually voted Republican during this period of time without any suggestion from Russian trolls.
