I don't know what you mean by this, but if you're referencing the black power fist Jesse had no association with such a movement. In fact he had this to say on the topic "The black fist is a meaningless symbol. When you open it, you have nothing but fingers—weak, empty fingers. The only time the black fist has significance is when there's money inside. There's where the power lies."
His story is often used as political propaganda and his own views swept under the rug. That's why I'm interested in his autobiography rather than the biased biography about his life written by a couple of jews.
"Hitler didn't snub me—it was our president who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram." You just know they were seething over this.

I was being intentionally stupid. Forgot the one on the 70s who did it on the podium. Knew about the Hitler thing.

It's true. You can't still be racist and for your own and not a classless animal. I think Hitler shook his hand.

As research, but like any market destroying end capitalism entity, never buy from if it can be helped. That is what Amazon should have been. Last resort for weird shit. Then the "we have everything" model is put in real effect. Not for toilet paper.
