One of Malcolm X’s killers was a black guy?

The guy was acting under orders from the Nation of Islam. No one was going to touch him.

Malcolm X was killed by Nation of Islam members after he broke with Nation of Islam and repudiated their anti-white theology.

ALL of Malcolm X's killers were black guys.

Specifically black guys who were “Black Muslims” sent, most likely, at the behest of or in support of ‘the Honorable’ Elijah Muhammad.

I thought everyone knew this?

I don’t spend a great deal of time on 1960s black muslim history. A weakness, I suppose.

Just his luck that he killed a black man.

That’s a hate crime, right?

Hagan was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison in April 1966 for shooting the civil rights leader at the Audubon Ballroom in Manhattan.

Geriatric releases, even for "life w/o parole" sentences aren't really that uncommon. It is almost a final punishment of sorts as the elderly prisoner, after being fully institutionalized, now has to fend for himself out in a world he doesn't know during his final days.

Get your hand out of my pocket!

Search for this phrase and how it relates to Malcolm Little, err, X. Oddly enough, with what's going in our country, maybe that phase takes on new meaning, eh?

A common misconception is that malcolm x repudiated his anti-white bigotry. He didn’t. He would accept Whitey if Whitey was a muslim, other than that he is still an infidel and worthy of slaughter.

Three Black Muslims were later convicted of the murder.

Do the math folks: Obama is president, Obama who is down with Wright, who is down with Farrakhan who admitted he created the atmosphere of violence--he railed about the righteousness of killing Malcolm--

--who had said the assassination of John F. Kennedy was a "case of chickens coming home to roost".

We've heard that somewhere. . . .

It said he had been spending weekends in prison for the last twenty-two years. The other five days a week he spent working a job and living with his family.

I’d never heard of that kind of arrangement lasting that long.
