You are, of course, free to ignore Malcolm X, but I agree with him that black people can be racist.

For example:

"I totally reject Elijah Muhammad’s racist philosophy, which he has labeled ‘Islam’ only to fool and misuse gullible people, as he fooled and misused me. But I blame only myself, and no one else for the fool that I was, and the harm that my evangelic foolishness in his behalf has done to others." —Malcolm X

I am amused by the hoops you'll jump through to rationalize your privilege as a member of the black bourgeoisie. The question here is not whether I truly care about the entire diverse working class. It's why you so obviously don't.
