Malcolm's House Negro/Field Negro dichotomy bothers me because of its potential to imply successful blacks are traitors. But, some of the biggest sell-outs around are out there in the field with you.
I prefer Chris Rock's, "there are black people & there are ni#$%rs and the ni#$%rs have got to go." Or, to say it nicely, there are black people & their are jackals and the jackals have got to go. The jackals can be rich or poor or any income inbetween.
That being said, why is Obama a jackal.

YOu have a misinterpretation of what Malcolm X said. What Malcolm X was referring to was class truth. The difference between what the workers/field negros want and what the middle class/house negro wants. Not to say that you can't have workers who act in the interest of the ruling class/slave masta or that you can't have what would normally be the middle class/house negro act in the interests of the workers.
But I am not gonna go out and say that every person that white folk describe as successful are because in my eyes they may not be. I don't see an African person who owns a funeral home as successful because they have an interest whether they say it or not in seeing African people die in violence because that is how they make money. It is in the interests of African Police Officer to see more crime even if they say everything other wise because without that crime that African is out of a job.
I see a successful African when I see Huey Newton, or Malcolm X, or Bobby Hutton, or Mumia Abu-Jamal these people aren't rich some where killed some are in prison, and most had no money. But they were successful becuz they stood up for their people to be Liberated.
In my opinion you can't be sucessful any other way!
Bower to the People! Black Power to the African Community!
