Actually it wasn’t until his last couple years that Malcolm X shifted his views. Most of his life he repeated lines which viewed people based on the color of their skin as “devils”. His rhetoric has lived on for decades after his death, when you hear Obama speak to black audiences to inform them they have been “bamboozled” and “hoodwinked,” that is the confrontational philosophy of the “early” Malcolm speaking.

Informing his audiences upfront that they are hearing the words of a cocaine-abusing gay prostitute would provide a necessary context for understanding, however that isn’t being done unless someone points it out which is what I am doing here.

Nonsense. Your sole purpose is to hide what Malcolm X stood for and the fact that was murdered for going off the plantation. You invoke “earlier years” to hide this simple fact. The Left was fine with his earlier years, and he was just one of many. What made him ride to prominence was exactly the fact that he broke from the collective. That burns in them still today, and it marks the keystone of his life.

You? Your just throwing crap for money, the third oldest profession in the world.
