I’m surprised he lived this long...
Yea, and ole Charlie Manson can’t get a fair shake.....
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.
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?
The aasasination was ordered by Calypso Louie. He was protected by the NOI in prison..
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?
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?
heh, heh, heh.....
Bears a strong resemblence to somebody we know, don’t he?
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.
malcolm x was a civil rights leader? Who knew?
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.
