The Legacy of Malcolm X (Look at the picture in the article, who does it remind you of?)

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

WHEN MY MOTHER was 12, she walked from the projects of West Baltimore to the beauty shop at North Avenue and Druid Hill, and for the first time in her life, was relaxed. It was 1962. Black, bespectacled, skinny, and buck-toothed, Ma was also considered to have the worst head of hair in her family. Her tales of home cosmetology are surreal. They feature a hot metal comb, the kitchen stove, my grandmother, much sizzling, the occasional nervous flinch, and screaming and scabbing.

Malcolm X was murdered because he rejected the radicalism he once championed. The people who killed Malcolm X were from “The religion of peace”.

Barack Shabbaz?

If not Barry Dunham, Barry Davis for sure.

Why would the Atlantic use a fake pic?

Largely because collectively, they have the IQ of a kumquat. Some of us are old enough to remember what Malcolm X looked like. That photo is a fake.

The REAL photo.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Fake! Go to images on GOOGLE. Type in Malcolm x, and the first photo of X is the real one.

I’m on dialup and it takes too long to load this photo of the real X.

Indeed! One of 0b0z0’s favorite daddies.

Malcolm X was murdered because he rejected the radicalism he once championed.

Malcolm X was murdered because he rejected the corruption and hypocrisy of the Leadership of the black muslims.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

It has been pointed out many years ago the Malcolm X never put his life on the line by marching through the Southern states.

Killed in an inter religious black moslem warfare squabble, And they make a hero of him!

[MBB1984]

Maybe to match the accuracy of their leftist articles?

[Ted Grant]

That’s not Malcom X.

[Rushmore Rocks]

I’m pretty sure it is photo shopped. Guess I should have put a sarcasm tag on my post.

That said, they really do look alot alike.

[rabidralph]

It’s been photoshopped with Obama’s face. Look up the original.

"Malcolm X was murdered because he rejected the corruption and hypocrisy of the Leadership of the black muslims"

You must have read his autobiography too.

[Mila]

It looks to me as if that photo has been manipulated-

This how I remember that picture of Malcolm X

[353FMG]

Is this for real? Or has this been phoshopped?
