He was a brilliant orator and observer of the human condition, and his words --and much of his teachings-- are still relevant today. His House Negro Field Negro speech is the inspiration for this blog. And no matter how you feel about him as a person, you have to admit that his life was an integral and constitutive part of American history.
So why am I writing this? Well apparently not everyone shares my point of view about Brother Malcolm.
"Queens parents are using any means necessary to stop their children’s teachers from besmirching Malcolm X’s name.
Teachers at Public School 201 in Flushing told fourth-graders last week that the controversial activist was “violent” and “bad.” They also refused to let the kids write about the assassinated icon for Black History Month.
Parent Cleatress Brown, 47, of Flushing complained to Principal Rebecca Lozada on Friday after a teacher forbade her fourth-grade son from writing a report on Malcolm X.
“I’m outraged,” said Brown. “As a teacher, you’re imposing your opinion on a bunch of kids.” [Source]
I am so glad that these parents want their children to learn all of America's history, and not just what certain folks feel that they should learn.
There was a time when this would not even have made the news. The poor parents of that school in Queens would have just accepted the teacher's edict and kept it moving. Not anymore.
“It was disrespectful to our history,” said Minor, 33, whose son is not in Brown’s class.
She had her son write about him anyway — and then turn the paper in to her. “That’s called learning,” she said.
Children were asked to pick from several prominent black leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and Malcolm X for the project, Minor said.
“I felt like when he grew up, he wanted to stop segregation so everyone could be equal,” said her son Tyrese Minor, 9."
Yes Tyrese, towards the end of his life he did want to stop "segregation" and want us to "be equal". But unfortunately, even today, not everyone sees it that way.

brutha malcolm hated the white man but love the white man's booty.
brutha malcolm was quite the paradox.
I got that from a guy in college who lived next door. "Malcolm X was all about hate and violence" he told my roommate and I. My roommate piped in "have you ever read any of his speeches or read his autobiography"? Of course we know the answer. Too many preconceived notions and not enough actual experience.
Anony 5:54,
Malcolm X was a self-educated through reading and a dictionary. He understood that knowledge was power. Malcolm was courageous, strong, and bold black man who pointed out some truths that those in power did not want to hear. He was straightforward and did not sugar coat or mince words in what he had to say. Malcolm stood up to those whose intent was to commit violence against black people, faced them head on, and did not flinch.
Btw, he was not violent, but he did not believe in being someone's punching bag either. My sentiments exactly. If you pass a lick, you should be able to accept one back. If you keep your hands to yourself, I'll keep mine to myself. I'm not your child, I am an adult just like you.
"Teachers at Public School 201 in Flushing told fourth-graders last week that the controversial activist was “violent” and “bad.”
So was George Washington and all the other presidents who owned, raped, whipped and enslaved black people.
Those parents should have immediately contacted the NAACP or any civil rights attorney and have them send a letter to that school. See how fast they backed off on that!
Though the damage is done already! Because those children now understand that people in authority would denigrate and suppress a Black leader.
This is really crazy! Who makes up these rules at the schools? So it was okay at one school and not at the next???
Is anybody home? Is anybody in charge? :)))
Trollonymous Burgundy,
Preach it! History tells us that!
Open Letter to Brother Malcolm X
Brother Malcom, no matter how much some people attempt to wipe your images and legacy from the pages of history, it will never happen. You are inimitable, you spoke the truth when others not only turned their back, they hid in the closet. There are those who know that this hell hole of a country is currently at a historical crossroad. A junction of crossroads leading towards either justice through collective consciousness or injustice, the path towards further tyranny and oligarchy.
I miss you dearly Brother Malcolm because we don't have any one on the horizon thst comes close to speaking truth to power like you did. Therefore, let clowns be clowns because that's what they are good at doing. They will never be able to obliterate you as a man of truth and compassion like they attempted to do with the Egyptian Sphinx's nose, a signifier of African stock.
Rest in peace Malcolm X
Nat Turner
Granny, I keep asking you to rec-og-nize me during Black History month and you keep ignoring me. Why?
Government schools are failing students.
Some teachers are trying their best to prevent that.
And school districts love to punish those rogue teachers.
Iris Stevenson
There was a time when this would not even have made the news. The poor parents of that school in Queens would have just accepted the teacher's edict and kept it moving. Not anymore.
But now, in BRA, black parents can dictate what is taught in school.
Must be nice.
The parents of that poor little 6 year old white girl whose teacher scolded her for saying the word 'Jesus' and made her cry have no such power.
Go figure.
Truth to Power indeed.

What Truths need to be spoken?
Colonel Corn,
Dictating and taking an interest in your child's education and what they learn in school are two entirely different things. That mother was well within her rights and responsibility as a parent.
If that mother of the six year old did not go up to the school and voice her dissatisfaction then she failed as a parent to take care of her responsibility. However, I bet she did go up to the school. The teacher probably was fired.
Just because the teacher didn't like MalcolmX, she had no business telling that child that in the first place. She totally out of line.
Does she tell the children that Columbus was a brutal murderer of pregnant women and how he ripped opened their stomachs?
I liked MLK too, but what I didn't like was him encouraging folks to let others beat them so bad, until they needed a plate in their head or crippled them for life.
I love me too and self-preservation is a law of nature.
Sorry Colonel but I have plenty of experience dealing with the GOP. I did notice you made allegations about me without any shred of evidence. Where is Bill when you need him to point out hypocrisy and double standards?
Where would the African American community be today had Brother Malcolm lived? That is a interesting question. I think as a whole we would be better off. Now we mirror the larger society as far as the haves and have nots. Malcolm spoke about doing business with each other and circulating the money in the community several times before it leaves. If we had adopted that practice, there would be no issues In our community as far as unemployment is concerned. However we have lost our way as far as that's concerned.
Malcolm Little was violent.
Malcolm Little was racist.
Malcolm Little was homosexual.
But he was our violent, racist homosexual. So it's kool.
@Wesley,
I agree!
@Negro fact checker,
All throughout history it has been a practice to emasculate men of color and denigrate their manhood to push the idea that they are inferior and weak men due to insecurities those in power had about their own masculinity.
Hey Granny and Desert!
I hope ya'll are doing well!
Sup Dr.?
"Malcolm Little", maybe. But isn't the human spirit a beutiful thing? We can learn and grow and become better. At least some of us can.
@ Granny, Trollonymous Burgundy & Nat Turner @ 7:13pm...
i tend to agree;)
i Love Malcolm X. always and forever.
his journey has blessed my life tremendously, as he was used to wake me up. i most identify with his flow.
we are all flawed folk. beautifully human. those things we think we know of others, is that we might pray for them. not murder them with our mouths. rendering the harsh judgment all seek to avoid.

@ FN, yes, the human spirit is a beautiful thing...
Well, brutha Field and sista Granny may be honoring MalcolmX, but I remember the 60's when he WAS considered bad and violent. I remember when most of the Muslim organization was considered mostly bm criminals out of prison who would kill you if they had to.
The fact that they killed MalcolmX proved that they were killers. As a matter of fact, Farrakhan was suspected to be involved.
So you can toast Malcolm X all you want, the teacher had a point and NO child should be worshiping him or the Black Panthers. They killed too. In fact the FBI had to keep them under surveillance but not very long because they ended up killing each other.
The moral of all black stories: "don't be on the wrong black side".
And don't let people like black democrats, Granny, Desert, and that professional failing student by the name of Dr Queen intimidate you--and call you a 'house negro'. They are very jealous of black conservatives who have the courage to speak up.
The truth is that being a Black Conservative is the "best deal" for us today.
For instance, Blacks in the Oakland/Berkeley/Richmond areas, AND Hayward areas are going 'Conservative' and 'Christian'. They are turning to God more and more and turning away from OOW and killing each other. There are others in other parts of the country where it is happening too. Blacks are recognizing which side their bread is buttered on.
Thanks to Obama's lousy treatment of us, we are beginning to wake up.
Only the black leftist dems are left to kill, rob and have OOW babies.

Leftist propaganda has no place our schools.
Hey Dr. Nuwang,
You came across my mind the other day. I pray that all is well with you too and that you're enjoying abundant blessings.
All is well with me and mine. Today, I am relaxing and enjoying my oldest grandchildren(they're young adults).
If only most black folks would have listen to MalcolmX when he warned y'all about the democrat party and selling your souls.
I wonder how Malcolm would feel in 2014 when a blog taken after him, refuses to post about black unemployment, poverty and high crimes rates.
Refuses to call out Obama and his failed policies.
Refuses to be a clear voice demanding better of our president.
Instead, when the politicians AFAM support with 90% of their vote tells them to sit down, shutup and stop complaining-black folks obey.
"If Obama wasn't president, we would be ‘marching on the White House’"-Congressional Black Caucus.
Anon 10:39- MLK wasn't well received either. by Black folk nor the counterintelligence agencies.
though everyone wants to co opt him now.
cointelpro cannot be blamed on those that were targeted by it.
or...
it can.
free will.
the muslims were more a threat because they wanted to educate their own children. rather than giving the babies to historical enemies to teach them to hate themselves. wanted Blacks to be self sufficient rather than dependent on historical enemies/programs.
not only did they want to do this..
they were in the business of getting it done.
cue the outside manipulation, you spoke so glowing of...

Hey Field,
I hope all us well with you and yours too!!! I know I haven't commented a lot these days because I'm CRAZY busy, but I do read the blog at least every other day!! And as you already know, your posts are AMAZING, and worth a read even on a crazy busy day.
Hey Granny, I think about you a LOT especially since my own grandmothers have been in heaven for a while now. But you know, people always say to be careful what you pray for because you just might get it. And I certainly have in too many ways to count, GOD IS SO GOOD!!!! :)

Thanks for the good thoughts Dr.!
I'm okay,and glad to see so are you :) Thanks be to God.
I've been feeling very grateful and blessed today, because the Lord has always accompanied me and answered my pleas. I've been thinking back on my life and all the ways in which I've been blessed and really, it's amazing! What I've lived through and with the help of the Almighty, survived. Thank you,thank you, has been my spirit today! :D
Focus,
Amen! Not only that they taught people how to eat healthy. I liked some of their teachings such as: being self-sufficient, being independent, and educating their own people.
Nonetheless, I do not like the ones that had that bakery in Oakland because they murdered my cousin Chauncey Bailey.
You shouldn't have been buying those fish sandwiches at that bakery, Granny. People like you facilitated the evil they did.
FP, "the muslims were more a threat because they wanted to educate their own children. rather than giving the babies to historical enemies to teach them to hate themselves. wanted Blacks to be self sufficient rather than dependent on historical enemies/programs."
---------------------
You are right. I stand corrected. They DID begin here in the USA on a sound and wholesome path.
But Today? They seem to have forgotten what they are all about. And I think it began with the murder of MalcomX and a maybe a few others down the line? Whatever. The y certainly aren't as religious and God-centered anymore...a sign of the direction of our entire race!
Granny-
oakland has always been a hotbed for mk ultra.
somewhere i was reading about that neck of the woods and the making of black assassins.
it was here, i believe:
http://mindcontrolblackassassins.com/2012/06/20/part-1-your-black-muslim-bakery-inc-cointelpro-project-chaos-jesuits-and-knights-the-covert-destruction-of-black-institutions/
there is always a thing in the thing, it appears.
though bundled with scientology today...i find Farrakhan's preaching/teaching from Bible to be quite interesting.
Field, "...I also loved the fact that he was not afraid to grow and evolve as a human being."
More importantly, he was not afraid to die. Fearlessness is what he and Martin Luther King had in common....
FEARLESSNESS is a quality most don't have but admire. It's rare in our race. We've always been a fearful race since slavery. We talk a good game but that's as far as it goes....NO ACTION.
Oakland is a terrible place for Blacks. Actually, the Bay Area is not good for Blacks. It's horrible.
Here again, some people only know Brother Malcom X from the movie or the writings of reporters that continued America's agenda of criminalizing or minimizing the Black man's role in his/our fight for freedom
Compare Brother Malcom's actions to the ongoing "real" violence of America at the time of Brother X's influence.
During the civil rights era many Black men "used" white women to obtain drugs- they were able to come up with the cash needed for that moment. After his eyes were open to the cause- these things were placed aside. As a Brother I never saw or heard of his need for the white women in a sexual manner. As a side not, you have to have been there to understand many Black men relations with the white women. She WAS the forbidden fruit for many of us. We did not have the options of freely being with her unless there were motives. ALL my peers had to "knock off" the forbidden fruit. Maybe Brother Little did the same. As a Black Panther. I could not fathom sleeping with someone that most likely could not/ would not understand the struggle. That just me.
Back to the violence. Brother Malcom lived thur the most civil violence. The world wars, Vietnam (I was there 69-70), Jim Crow and hangings, beating, burning(the Blacks were burned prior to the lynching) good ole ass whoppings. AMERICA WAS AND IS VIOLENT. Stop ascribing things out of context. Even tonight as I type this whatever violent America is bombing someone on this globe. I am 62 and I can't recall any length of time when we (America) were not at war or going to war.
Some of us was just tired of marching and praying as Brother Martin espoused. Both men's journey was necessary for the cause. Too bad this thing called integration has not fulfilled both men's dreams. We as a people just got to do better.
One last thing, it is time for America to really take care of her spent warriors. The VA is past it's ability to take care of the need.
Until we as a people write and manage our own history our warriors will always be marginalized.
Anon 1:40 am-

Amen, I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking the same thing earlier to myself when I read what that teacher told that child about MalcolmX. I thought she had a lot of nerve, including these folks that claim to fear black men so much they need a gun, considering America's penchant for violence throughout history. Smh!
@anon 1:50,
If you hate Oakland so much, why do you stay there? That don't make sense. When I am unhappy where I live, I move because I refuse to be miserable. That's what most people do when they're unhappy with where they live.
It's like you have a personal vendetta against someone in Oakland or the Bay Area. You can always move to Orange County, CA, I'm sure you'll like it there. There aren't any BLACK people living there, and if it is, you probably can count them on one hand.
"There aren't any BLACK people living there, and if it is, you probably can count them on one hand."
I'll bet the crime rate is pretty low there. Am I right?
Depends CoC, if there are a lot of whites probably a lot of meth related crimes and maybe some incest.
"The fact that they killed MalcolmX proved that they were killers."
The boy's a genius...
Bey Sr. might have been alright, I dunno, but his son was NOT! His son ordered Chauncey's murder. His Attorney was called up on the bar for slipping a hit list out of the jail for him.
Let me tell you what Bey IV's posse did to Chauncey on Bey IV's orders.
They shot off his face with a shotgun as he lay dying from two other wounds. One of his eyes was destroyed, he had a deep bullet hole that went through his face bone, brain, and teeth. It was 12 gauge. Yep!
Btw, I don't hold every Muslim in America responsible for his gruesome death or dislike all Muslims. It's only three of them that were responsible that I don't like and that's the bottom line.
Great comments tonight.

to think there are brothas and sistas that lived through that type of business.
there are new jacks living through the updated/modern version. if folk would take a few moments to listen to the young ones. they are telling what is happening to them. but most think of these folk as throwaways. ever asked why + listened when folk indicate they dropped out of school? i have. i get it.
i Love the elders, also, for this reason on the flip side. they are like a talking library. a wealth of information, if folk would just slow it all down + listen;)
met intense serious menfolk like the brotha that writes the black assasins blog. i Love and respect him + all like him ...for their heart.
even when i don't agree, i still got nothing but Love.
_____________
to the soul obsessed with brotha Malcolm's sex life:
first:
???!!!
i don't understand why folk are so obsessed over other folks' private personal lives.
seriously.
who cares?
that behavior is as odd as peeping up a skirt, down a blouse, or sniffing folk private parts. truly perved out behavior past 5 yrs old;(
snap out of it!+ grow up!
please.
folk are discussing Malcolm X contributions non-sex related.
does that help?
some appear rather determined to sexually degrade all Black folk. death won't even make it stop.
ps. we know, we know...
everybody is gay.
was reading somewhere this gay "revelation" about Nelson Mandela, now that he has passed.
folk really don't have to be the brightest to notice the writing on the wall. all gay everything/everybody. even when folk say they are not. closeted!!! those that don't think it just swell and what all humans should aspire to= bad + must be silenced.
there would be no great men of history, anywhere, if they had to be sexually pure. most fall short.
comes with being the beautifully flawed human beings that we are. flaws and all- brotha Malcolm was a great man among men. there's no taking that away from him.
if i were a gay rights activist...i wouldn't pick on BW all mad like we are competition.
i would be getting at those folk that make comments using gayness as this thing to hate + loathe. like thinking/knowing a person has gay behavior is reason to disdain them.
seems to me, THAT is the type of behavior that makes life unsafe for gay folk.
attempting to silence is not Good. but definitely imparting some much needed additional info can only be of benefit;)
Actually you're wrong NFC. An openly gay blah man was one of the leaders of the civil rights movement and actually planned the 1963 March on Washington. Maybe your "fact" checking ability isn't working as well as you think.
Bill, should have known we couldn't count on you but we are looking forward to the next "democrat scandal" you'll bring us via Fox. Can't wait.
Take a look at the commrntd here. All of the comments by black bloggers are of substance, meaningful, succinct and posted without malice.
Meanwhile, the comments by white folks are mean spirited, without forethought, whimsical and absent honesty.
Sigh, just another day in the life of absent minded white trolls saying ignorant shit on a black blog.

*IF* only I posted faux news link you could finally prove your point.
Calling a CNN video fox news is a little wingnut-ish, even for you.
Bill, after mischaracterizing my words several times even after I plainly made my stance on an issue clear your credibility is shot as far as I'm concerned. I think I can go back to ignoring you.
But just imagine for a moment how empty and meaningless there lives are.
They come here to hurl hatred, because they have nothing else to do with their sad little lives. The only thing that makes Bill-O feel like a man is to spend his spare time abusing people.
I wonder if Bill-Oh and Kinky as twelve year olds could see themselves as they are now, how would they feel? Is this really the life they had planned for themselves?
"When I grow up I want to spend all my time basing black people, because that's a happy and fulfilling way to spend a life."
It is sad for Kinky and Bill, we should genuinely feel pity for them. As I have said before I'm sure they are humiliated in some way in their daily lives. Perhaps by women who ignore them, or maybe they are bullied at work. Something makes them feel less than a complete man, which forces them here to abuse black folks day-after-day-after day in an attempt to re-assert their manhood.
It's interesting but also deeply sad to see them wasting their lives here.
I see you did it again, I made no mention of any particular video did I Bill? Do you just make up everything?
I don't know PC, those guys come across as kids so maybe there's time for them to turn their lives around. Unless they really are grown and just have childish intellect.

Pilots often head to wrong airports, reports show
On at least 150 flights, including one involving a Southwest Airlines jet last month in Missouri and a jumbo cargo plane last fall in Kansas, U.S. commercial air carriers have either landed at the wrong airport or started to land and realized their mistake in time, according to a search by The Associated Press of government safety databases and media reports

No, most DO NOT move when they are unhappy where they live. Most people deal with it and see it for what it is. You seem to be irritated at people who say anything that is "true" about Oakland. Well, I WILL talk about the truth. Hell, the whole nation has an opinion Oakland and it ain't nice and pretty.
FYI: I am in Oakland because I am trapped for the same reason so many of our folks are. We are stuck in poverty and can't move. Obviously you don't know much about the condition of a lot of black folks stuck in the hood. Nor do you relate to them.
You just ask the question like most Whites do: "If you are so miserable, why don't you move?"
Again, I can't move...at least not yet. But I will NOT be 'silent' about the horrible conditions, the degrading racist conditions, the powerlessness of Blacks and the DENIAL of all that suppressed shit by black folks like you.
No Granny, I won't be moving anytime soon and damn sure won't be quiet about this place where YOU live in obvious happiness.

--------------------
No one said they hated Oakland. You did. However, Oakland does rank in the top 3 cities for black-on-black crime.
But YOU moved to Oakland and apparently very happy there. One can assume that wherever you were before must have been beyond hell. I mean, you have already lost a cousin to a murdering group of gangsters that ran a 'bakery' down in ONE of the dangerous parts of Oakland. And you are not miserable there yet.
What satanic hell-hole did you move from?
Kinkycon, "Shame there's not a app that can make Dr. Nuwang smart."

------------------
Haven't you heard about the latest app that's being developed? It's only a matter of time before Dr Nuwang becomes a 'certified' Dr.
Oh boy! I can just hear her boasting and making fun of Kinkycon, Dr Privilege, and all the other folks-- both Black and White-- who said she was lying, and would NEVER make it in Med School.
Dear Lord, bring forth that app!
Fyi, anon 1:40pm is Dr Nuwang's medical assistant. I used to be homeless, but not anymore!
Btw, I'm White...does that surprise anyone? Hey, we ALL have to make a living. Right?
I bet the discussion about Dr Queen's new assist will crash this site.
Yeah Doc, you hit the nail on the head. Dunn's fiance crying about not being able to feed her dog. Damn, things haven't changed since the time they would have picnics with the whole family while they lynched and burned us. Kill a blah male and just shrug that shit off but miss feeding the dog, now that's an emergency. Almost like we're disposable. Sad.
if i were a gay rights activist...i wouldn't pick on BW all mad like we are competition.
"i would be getting at those folk that make comments using gayness as this thing to hate + loathe. like thinking/knowing a person has gay behavior is reason to disdain them.
seems to me, THAT is the type of behavior that makes life unsafe for gay folk."
I didn't get the impression that the person who suggested earlier that Malcolm X was gay was actually gay himself. I assume he read a biography (I cannot recall the title of the book) that came out a few years ago that suggested that Malcolm X was a maybe "hustler" as in "gay for pay".
After all, Malcolm X was an ex-convict. He spent years in prison so it is entirely possible that he had sex while he was incarcerated. Since there are no women in a men's prison... well, you do the math. The book claims that Malcolm X may well have been on what is now called the "down-low".
Let's face it, most of us speculate on the sex lives of iconic (and not so iconic) figures so Malcolm X is fair game for that type of speculation.
And who is picking on BW? On the other hand, I wish that some people would not use the bible to pick on LGBT people.
@Dr Nuwang,
Yep, I've been watching the trial and smh. Unbelievable! He left the scene, he got together with a friend to make up a story about a shotgun, and they kept up on what was going on by watching the news. She didn't want to be an accessory to murder.
He told her to hurry up and get in the car.
I'm just surprised Dunne didn't get a bunch of money for his defense from like minded individuals. Maybe for his appeal.
Do not allow HillBillyBill, KinkyConMan and FactChecker of Nothing to derail this blog site's topic every day with elementary conversations. We are supposed to be talking about Malcolm X and his contribution to this country. These people mentioned above are detractors or disruptors of the worst kind. They fear to the utmost of having an honest conversation about brother Malcolm or anything related to the black struggle
MY SUGGESTION IS TO IGNORE THESE IMBECILES AND DO NOT RESPOND TO THEIR CHILDISH POSTS! DON'T GIVE THEM THE PLEASURE OF ATTENTION, THIS IS WHAT THEY SEEK IN THE FIRST INSTANCE!
PilotX, who are they and the like minded individuals?
Do tell.

you must be new, my friend.
there is one that knows full well what i AM talking about. if you have no clue...i was not talking to you. no disrespect.
i agree with the not using Scriptures to pick on gay folk. been saying that for years. a point of agreement;)
by the same token, hateful gays (gasp!...there is such a thing? yep. most definitely.) should not try to act as if folk agreeing with Scripture wrote it. or must keep silent about what is written, in order to escape vicious, designed to silence,defeated, hateful labeling.
everybody got next on the knock it off flow;)
that's where we are.
lies and hypocrisy do no one any good.
take a peek over at the UK...just look at what all is being revealed. folks in high places having a field day with the children. little boys in greater numbers than folks are willing to discuss. then get familiar with chicken hawk concept. it is well understood het peds stay busy. gay folk won't shut up about THEM.
then know...the united states of satan is not that far behind with the devilry with children. so this no one can speak won't really work. the government is swarming with the 'paths of all orientations.
come on now. no golden calves. idols get ripped down.
folk have got to stand up- decent Black, White, Hispanic, Jewish, Muslim, etc. got to tell the Truth about the real deal.
i keep saying Galatians 3:28-29. what's not clear about that?
as a het woman, i really don't know what to do with the homo/Scriptures thing. i know what's written. i know that i AM called to Love my neighbor. what gay folk work out with the Creator of their understanding or in their heads, if they just worship themselves. whatever folk come up with...is their personal business.
that goes for hets that don't have the homo situation with which to deal...but pretty much hit every other lick when it comes to sin as written in Scriptures. while trying to mad dog gay folk. lol.
from what i can see, it is not about any of that, really. at least not for me.
you know-
there is not much new i can say over here. it feels like i just repeat myself.
responded because i do not know if you are a sincere soul or not. hope my comment better helps you to see my perspective.
if not, that's ok, too.
we may agree to disagree. though we are in agreement on at least one key point;)
___________________
if you will re-read the comment(s) i finally acknowledged. it is well understood what has been said about Malcolm X's sex life. for hire, pay, give away. whatever. his personal business.
it wouldn't matter to me if he had a new twink an hour. the fact that he would stand up + call it...remains the facts of the matter.
when discussing his accomplishments, why would it be necessary to address again and again? do folk talk about 'ole gay Abe Lincoln? or 'ole gay JFK?
i did not necessarily get the impression devilish soul was homo. i did get the distinct impression that he/she thinks it a negative for Malcolm X to have engaged in homo activity.
can you see how i would think that?
this is what i addressed. + my friend that likes to attack Black women while labeling everybody "homo hater", "homophobic", etc.
yet,behavior that truly makes it more difficult for gay folk gets met with the sound of crickets.
that's all.
lol. i can't help but to laugh. please take no offense;)
ok...going to Focus. lol!
Hateful gays=Gay mafia..
I know the truth. Her name is focusedpurpose....

Thanks for bringing it up again!

It's good to face the truth rather than avoid it. People need to air the truth not suppress it.
I hold Mr. Malcolm X up to the highest level of tribute as he is the epitome of humanness!
