Precisely. It is unfair to lump a militant like Malcolm X in among the likes of the Weather Underground and the Symbionese Liberation Army, which were domestic terror groups that actually killed people in cold blood.

Its not necessarily right, but Malcolm X always referred to himself as a militant, and he was proud to be called a militant.

Back then, everybody used the term.

What is going to be a hassle now, is that MSM is an attempt to stop the built in bias of the word terrorist, is that they not only failed, but not have transferred that bias over to other words like militant.

In the MSMs zeal to morally relavatize, they may have done more harm to themselves as good.

My friend who is a teacher is pulling his hair out, since he, has always referred to certain groups (i.e. Klan, neo-nazis, etc) groups as terrorists.......ironically last year some student asked him if it was true that one mans terrorists is another mans freedom fighter because he brought up the kkk and lynching.

He is already dreading those moments this year when he starts using PC words for all groups.
