Whoa, that’s some expose, right down to the vaseline love letter!
And Malcolm X as well.
The Autobiography of Malcolm X was very specific in its mention of his father’s adherence to the politics of Marcus Garvey.
What else did this author not get correct?
I am very skeptical of revisionist histories, especially those which paint historical figures as homosexual. It’s entirely plausible that Ghandi wasn’t quite a saint, and Malcom X’s background of racial hatred is no secret, but trying to paint them both as gay? That smacks of the effort to say Abraham Lincoln was gay. If they’ve got pictures or first-hand eyewitness accounts of these guys taking it in the rear, then I’ll believe. Otherwise, meh.
So this is the evidence that Gandhi was not a great man, an accusation of homosexuality?
Strange.
Turn about’s fair play... Liberals love taking down the founding fathers, Jesus, Lincoln etc... Anyone with a decent bone in his body is fodder for liberal hatred. The major difference here is our side uses facts - their side makes it up...
‘Both men, it turns out, were at pains to take on phony identities. Each hid his homosexuality, each was racist, each took pains to manufacture favorable coverage, each was driven by petty hatreds instead of shining ideals — each of these supposedly principled figures was an out-and-out phony.’
This could easily describe Jug Ears....
Historians love to play the game of “Find the Gay in the History Book”.
You name the guy, you can find someone claiming he was gay.
Malcolm X - Malcolm Y?
Maybe in the sense that he wasn't a conservative in the accepted sense of the word, but he wasn't exactly Martin Luther King or Eleanor Roosevelt or Albert Schweitzer and didn't exactly think well of "White liberals."
Gandhi may have been a liberal icon, but was he actually a liberal? Look at how he lived his life. Not exactly a secular progressive.
History is way too complicated to divide it all up into an "our side" and a "their side." Some people don't fit well into either side.
I already know that Gandhi had serious faults, you can pick up any of the hagiographic biographies out there and figure that out; but come’on, let’s have a bit more discernment than to believe the salacious musings of some conspiracist.
