A form of Straw Character, this trope is often specific to black characters, though it is equally applicable to any member of a minority race, human or otherwise. These characters are often very far to the left of the political spectrum, and usually militant. These black radicals or activists are depicted as a bunch of hypocritical, irrational, paranoid, unreasonable, lazy, bigoted, race-card-playing, conspiratorial raving loons. Even within TV shows and movies targeted at a black audience, they're often portrayed as ridiculous characters whose opinions are not of any real merit. When it comes to black TV and films, this could be an attempt by some black writers to subvert the stereotype of black people agreeing with these particular views. In the process, they ended up creating a Straw Character. The Trope Namer is Malcolm X, who achieved fame during the American civil rights movement for his aggressive and hard-line views on race; this trope usually involves the Theme Park Version of his actual views, warped and exaggerated for the sake of parody or to serve the author's own viewpoint. Ironically, most of the early examples of this trope are subversions, with the more modern iterations essentially being a parody of a parody. Worth noting also is that many of the earliest examples of this trope actually predate Malcolm X by a fair bit. Compare with "Angry Black Man" Stereotype and Everything Is Racist. No Real Life Examples, Please! |

On Everybody Hates Chris, one Christmas the father was low on money, and happens across a stall advertizing Kwanzaa as a non-commercial option for Christmas. Chris' brother really gets into this, and according to the voiceover he still celebrates it in his adulthood and refuses to talk to white people on the day, including his white wife. | |

The Mental State has 'Little Mickey' Crane, a black inmate who harbours a deep and abiding hatred for white people. He lobs racial slurs at the Caucasian inmates like hand-grenades and bullies the other black inmates into joining his vendetta. Most of the black inmates actually could not care less about racial differences, and only side with him because his brother is the biggest and strongest of all the prisoners. He even plans to persecute the white inmates once he gets elected Prisoner Representative. | |

Magneto is often read this way. Loooong ago in The '60s he was a generically evil villain who wanted to destroy humans because he believes mutants are superior, but by The '70s he'd been retooled with a more well-rounded characterization: when his past is revealed, we find he was a Holocaust survivor and believed that the growing hatred for mutants by humans would eventually mean a repeat, leading to a couple decades of leading to him going too far with his methods of "protecting" and "ensuring the future" of mutantkind. The reading of him as a parallel to Malcolm X is well-known enough that even academic papers have referenced it, such as here. | |

The Secret Life of Pets plays this trope for laughs by portraying Snowball the (white, ironically enough) bunny as the animal equivalent of this, militantly devoted to overthrowing humans throughout most of the movie. Bonus points for being voiced by African American actor Kevin Hart. | |

Martin: The episode "The Snow Bunny" features one of these. When the gang takes a trip to a ski lodge, Pam brings along new boyfriend Tashim, who dresses like a Black Panther and throughout the episode makes snide comments about/towards Tommy's guest, a white woman. This is played entirely for comedy, because Tashim's militant stance is absurd to the extreme. In one scene, as everyone is heading out to the slopes, Tashim carries a spray can. When asked why, he answers that he plains to paint as much of the snow black as he can. And at the episode's end, Tashim approaches the white woman, menacingly telling her, "I've got something to say to you", as if he's going to say something really rude and racist, while she snaps, "I've got something to say to you too", as if she's fed up with his rudeness. Sure enough... they leap into each others arms and start making out. | |

Fudge from Higher Learning is a sixth year senior at the university. He's really smart, and knows enough about Black history to teach the class at the university. However, he's still in school because he'd rather use his Everything Is Racist philosophy as an excuse to be lazy. Malik turns into this as the movie goes on, using his school assignments as a soapbox for poorly thought-out rants about America's racist history, criticizing his black professors for giving him bad grades for subpar work, and bullying his white roommate into becoming a Neo-Nazi. The movie as a whole is a deconstruction of this trope: this attitude is the result of legitimate frustration of America as a whole trying to pretend that racism is over with, but in turn causes racial tensions to boil over. | |

Awesomely nuanced in a New York Undercover episode "The Reckoning", with a Nation of Islam minister (Minister Malik) who shows heavy shades of this, BUT is also very fleshed out and humanized. Even giving him a sweet moment towards the end of the episode when a young black kid approaches him on the street and tells him "I'm ready to be a man" and Malik smiles and nods, then says "Then you will be". | |

The 1997 remake of 12 Angry Men recasts the bigoted Juror #10, a white man in the original version, as one. In this version, the defendant is a Hispanic boy, and the juror seems to be angry that the boy's "kind" is "outbreeding" his own people. A conversation he has with Juror #6 implies that he was kicked out of the Nation of Islam because they considered him to be a tad too intense. | |

A straight example from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is the Bluntman and Chronic director, though he is played by Chris Rock, who has spent his career lampooning these kinds of characters. Ironically enough, his name is also Chaka Luther King and instead of being an activist, he was merely an Pointy-Haired Boss to his white assistants. | |

The Reverend Darnell Potter is antagonistic recurring character in Blue Bloods who revels in the spotlight and has decided the best way to get it is to constantly throw around accusations of institutionalized racism against black Americans, especially amongst the police. In his first appearance, he can quote Malcolm X by heart, but doesn't recognize a quote from Martin Luther King until it's spelled out for him. Over the course of the show, he is established to be a hate-peddling crook whose motivations are purely based on political power and whose war against the NYPD is motivated purely in attention-seeking. Over the course of the series, he is responsible in several crimes, from creating a needless confrontation between his own parishioners and the cops to witness tampering to cover up the truth that a black criminal accusing the police of throwing him out of a window actually jumped out himself in a failed attempt to escape. He gets away with it because Frank Reagan doesn't want to add fuel to the fire, which largely lets Rev. Potter continue setting his small blazes with impunity... ironically, it comes back to bite him when his Karma Houdini Warranty expires in a tragic way, as his son is killed by a young black gangbanger. | |

Supreme Power: Nighthawk is a fanatical black supremacist whose fanaticism actually causes him to leave a bad taste in the mouths of other African-Americans, and who in turn is so fanatical he becomes racist towards his own people, as he openly espouses the idea that any Afro-American who isn't a black supremacist is a Category Traitor. His beliefs and behavior appalls Stanley Stewart, aka "The Blur", the only Afro-American superhuman in their world, who points out that he grew up and lives in The Deep South and he had never been called "house negro" until "his fellow black man" Nighthawk did it, and likewise that Nighthawk has racially objectified him far more than the whites he lives amongst. This, combined with Nighthawk dissing on Blur's Super-Speed, causes Blur to dish out some revenge: he strips Nighthawk naked and tells him that he can walk home that way. They happen to be in Louisiana, and Nighthawk's "home turf" is in Chicago. | |

Black Panther (2018) gives us both Killmonger and his father N'Jobu. N'Jobu was a Wakandan spy in America who became disillusioned with his home country after witnessing the plight of African-Americans suffering from racism and Wakanda's refusal to help due to its isolationist policies. As a result, N'Jobu helped Klaue steal vibranium in exchange for advanced Wakandan technology to empower oppressed minorities so they can fight back and get better treatment, until his brother King T'Chaka caught wind of it and killed him. Years later, Killmonger takes his father's goals further by attempting to take over the Wakandan throne and using his power to ship Wakandan technology to spies all over the globe in an effort to overthrow all the world's governments and establish a new world order where the Wakandans and other black people rule over everyone else. When N'Jobu meets Killmonger again in the spirit plane, even he's shocked by the lengths his son is going to. | |

Ramattra of Overwatch has many traits of this as they apply to Omnics, a race of robots that have struggled to coexist with humanity following the devastating Omnic Crisis. He's more nuanced and sympathetic than most examples — the narrative recognizes his concern for omnic life as valid and his downfall into villainy as tragic — but he nevertheless has aggressive, hard-lined views of omnic and human relations, believing omnics should be free from human oppression by whatever means necessary and whether they ask for it or not, while also being openly bigoted towards humans, paranoid of further attacks on his kind, extremely difficult to reason with, and is seen by other omnics as a problematic embodiment of their worst stereotypes. | |

In the final season of Promised Land (1996), the character LT epitomizes this even though he doesn't quote Malcolm X often, if at all, seeing racism as the reason behind basically everything someone says or does.

Legends of Chamberlain Heights has Malik, the younger brother of main character Grover. Malik is a huge fan of the original Malcolm X, admonishes his brothers Grover and Montrel (a basketball-obsessed wannabe and a pot smoker respectively) for affirming black stereotypes, constantly spouts anti-white rhetoric, and targets his drug-dealing business exclusively to the "white devil" in the hopes of making them self-destruct. The kicker? Malik is 8 years old! | |

A Different World: Terence Taylor, to a T. He grew up in Germany with his white mother, but as soon as he hit Hillman's all-black campus, he began dressing in long wool coats and bedazzled fez hats, frequently talking about his new-found faith, "The Man", and how to uplift the black community. Played for comedy, the show being a sitcom and all. In the middle of one impassioned speech, Dwayne Wayne calls him a "Microwave Muslim." | |

Star vs. the Forces of Evil: Toffee of Septarsis is a Deconstruction. He was the first real threat Star went against, and his role revealed Mewni's dark history as xenophobic warmongers who conquered a new country and annexed its original inhabitants. Toffee was a militant who wanted revenge for the Mewmans waging war on the monsters, and he made a statement by killing Comet, Moon's mother. Toffee was extreme in his methods. He was willing to sacrifice his own people, he was prepared to kill Marco to lure out Star, and he's just as extreme and bigoted as the Mewmans. And the Mewman Queen he murdered, Comet, was actually pro monster and was working to improve the life of his people. Her murder causes Comet's daughter Moon to rise to the throne at an early age and distrust the monsters, meaning Toffee is the reason things did not improve for the monsters. | |

She admonishes him for using the shooting as a boost to his political ambitions, but he throws it right back in her face by spewing allegations of her betraying the "community", pointing out her commitment to getting a white republican elected president twice and for her high class-status which distances her from the people in this community. The ultimate implication is that his accusation has more to do with class than race, since as a wealthy, successful black woman, she cannot entirely relate to the poor black community she's just walked into. | |

Commando X in Static was an early villain. He started off as a vigilante who attacked white supremacists before he Jumped Off The Slippery Slope and started attacking innocent Jews because he blamed "Jewish network executives" for his TV show being cancelled. This is actually an Invoked Trope: his character is used to address the troubled relationship between Jews and Black people in cities like Dakota, and to show Static the dangers of extremism. | |

From The Boondocks : Huey Freeman is this trope parodied, deconstructed, and reconstructed. He's a self-described domestic terrorist, the founder of several (and mostly defunct) Black revolutionary organizations and a newspaper, is frequently seen quoting figures like Karl Marx and Elijah Muhammad, and engaging in activities like organizing a strikes and protests, all despite the fact that he's 10 years old. He has a tendency to destroy people's fun because of his conspiracy theories and being dead serious all the time, but in the context of the show — which has a heavily cynical tone, especially towards authority figures — he's almost always Properly Paranoid. No one listens to him though, because, you know, he's 10 years old. Dewey is a hypocritical counterpart to Huey Freeman, who takes "down wit' the struggle" much further than even Huey by reading poetry, wearing capris, headwraps and sandals, even going as far as to become a Muslim — a reference to Black nationalist Muslim groups like the Nation of Islam — and yet he doesn't even know the basic Islamic greeting. Even worse, he mispronounces it as "salami, eggs and bacon", two of which are typically pork products, which are strictly prohibited by Islam. |

A decent number of black characters from Law & Order qualify. Basically, if there's a black prosecutor/lawyer/defendant/minister/activist/etc. opposing the lead cast, s/he is likely to hit at least some parts of this trope and Angry Black Man. Specifically defense attorney Shambala Green. Although not as over the top. Paul Robinette when he became a defense attorney. Defense attorney Carl Halpert, defense attorney Jerome Bryant... (notice a pattern here?) Then there's Congressman Eaton, a terrible Al Sharpton Expy. Perhaps most notorious is the Reverend Ott, who incites a riot in an episode based on the Crown Heights riots. Calvin Teller in "Act of God" is an entertaining variation. He shakes down local businesses allegedly on behalf of The Community, but if they don't play ball he'll probably move on. He's quite civil in explaining this to Briscoe and Logan. |

Fisher Tiger from One Piece is a rare Japanese example, as well as a rare three-dimensional example. He raises a pirate crew of former fishman slaves and espouses their races' superiority in response to humans (and specifically the Celestial Dragons') discrimination against them. Tiger fought against the human Navy to liberate oppressed Fishmen, but on principle he never killed those he fought against. While he understood on an intellectual level that good humans existed, Tiger still held a great amount of hatred for them in his heart due to his status as a former slave. Ultimately, he is killed because his hatred of humans runs so deep that he refuses to accept treatment for a mortal injury because the only blood available for a transfusion is human blood. To really drive the point home, he is contrasted with the queen of Fishman Island, Otohime. While Fisher Tiger believes that the differences between humans and fishmen are irreconcilable and they must live separately, Queen Otohime tried to encourage cooperation between the two races. Otohime's dream was to bring the Merfolk and the Fishmen from the sea floor to the surface where they could join the rest of the world. She believed that by secluding themselves in such an inaccessible area, they were limiting their people's opportunities and allowing them to live in ignorance. In spite of their contrasting ideologies, however, both Otohime and Tiger held a great amount of respect for each other and their work. Both ended up assassinated for their trouble as well: Fisher Tiger after being betrayed by a human village to whom he returned a captured slave, and Otohime by a fishman pirate who wanted to stoke anti-human hatred. Fittingly enough, Tiger's played by the African-American Gabe Kunda in the Funimation English dub. | |

Black Dynamite: Stuey Fig Newton is the leader of the Black Pumas, a Black Panthers offshoot who are so opposed to race-mixing that they're willing to team up with The Klan and murder black porn stars to stop the production of an interracial porno. In "Roots: The White Album," after white slavery is abolished, the white freedmen have so much collective trauma after a month that they can't go back to the white community, and decide to assimilate into the black community. They soon form a black white power movement, forming groups like the Pink Panthers and misappropriating Malcolm X quotes. |

A two-parter on Friday Night Lights has Coach Mac make some ignorant comments about the natural abilities of black players versus white players that spark controversy and create tension between the white and black students. Smash, who was the one the comments revolved around in the first place, doesn't think it's that big a deal until his black activist girlfriend Waverly convinces him that Mac needs to be fired, especially after Mac botches his apology press conference. So Smash leads all the black players on a protest where they refuse to play in the team's next playoff game until Mac is fired. When Coach Taylor makes it clear he won't fire Mac (who clearly isn't a hateful man and actively struggles with the prejudices passed onto him by his father) and will just use JV players to fill the roster holes, Smash considers ending the protest so the black players won't put their college football scholarship prospects at stake. However, Waverly tells him not to do it and it doesn't matter if the players ruin their futures if it's for the cause. Eventually, Smash's mother gets fed up with her and tells Smash that the protest isn't going to prove anything to the racists in Dillion and that the best way for him and the other players to do is to play, get their scholarships and college degrees, and become successful adults to prove the racists wrong and inspire future generations. | |

One shows up briefly near the beginning of Criminal Minds episode "Fear and Loathing." There's a serial killer targeting black teenage girls in the community, and this activist stirs up enough trouble to bring racial tension to a fever pitch. Even after the BAU determines that the serial killer is black and not racially motivated (he's just your garden-variety sexual predator who happens to favor girls of his own race), the mayor refuses to let them announce their profile because he knows the activist and his followers will just use it as further proof of the FBI/police's inherent racism. | |

The character of Muhammad X from the Superman comics, a superhero in his own right who protects Harlem. He harasses Superman over his perceived neglect of the black community, and the damaging psychological effect of dependency on an all-powerful alien with white skin. Superman attempts to convince him that he can be a hero to all races, but fails, and the two part ways on rather bitter terms. | |

An early episode of Family Guy had Peter Griffin discover that one of his ancestors had been a black slave who was owned by the Pewderschmidts, the family his in-laws belong to. As a result, Peter briefly becomes this trope, dressing in traditional African robes and insisting that everyone call him by his new black name, "Kishwa". However, when his father-in-law Carter offers to pay reparations (read: cuts him a check for $20,000), Peter just drops the whole thing. | |
