Malcolm X, The Ballot or the Bullet, 2020 Voting Blocks

A 1964 clip of Malcolm X's "The Ballot or the Bullet" speech emphasizes the power of the Black voting block to determine who stays in the "doghouse" or goes to the White House. The hosts discuss the strategy of withholding votes in the 2020 election to signal dissatisfaction with both parties, arguing that a low voter turnout is a conscious political message. They reject the media narrative of "voter suppression," asserting that Black men are becoming "politically mature" by demanding tangible results in exchange for their support.
