Jesus, is this all you know about "Malcolm"?
The man was a maniacal hater. It's dismaying to see a reverse-racist whack job like Malcolm X celebrated on FReep.
God, what a long educational road we have ahead of us ...
You're upset about somebody discussing a few positive things about Malcom X...on a thread about MLK...where scads of FReepers are singing his endless praises in seeming competition with Democrats?
That manical hatred was largely fueled by Elijah Muhammad. He even admitted that parts of his autobiography were truth embellishments based on the advice of Elijah Muhammad. EM was a pig like his other mealy mouth protege Louis Farrakhan, another pig. I think El Hajj Malik Shabbaz would have been a republican senator today. I bet my life on that.
No, I know much, much more about him, more than you do I'll bet.

This comment shows how little YOU know about him. He didn't hate anyone, especially towards the end of his life, and he was far more than a "reverse racist." In fact, anyone who sums him up that way just doen't have a complete picture of him.

Yeah, and I think it starts with you getting a more complete picture of who Malcolm X was. You don't have to agree with him or like him but you sure need to know more about him.
