Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 101 class (10:10-12 pm). The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get there) and 2) to practice our writing, reading, and thinking on a weekly basis in an informal setting.

10/2 “The Hate That Hate Produced”
In the clip you can see what Malcolm X is talking about when he claims that the tv program was edited into a collection of “shocker” images by including images and videos of Elijah Mohammed, Malcolm himself and many other Muslims participating in their meetings. Audio clips were also included to increase the shock factor, with phrases about the white man’s devilish behavior echoing throughout the video. I agree with Malcolm X’s belief that the word “Hate” in the title of the program incited an extreme public reaction along with the way the program was set up to make it seem like the sole mission of these Muslims was to spread hate against the whites instead of showing that they just want to live their lives away from the control of the white man.
