Malcolm LITTLE was nothing but criminal filth.
” Those bullying and ruthlessly maudlin ideologues who for so long preferred posturing to thought “
Things must be getting really dicey in the Race Pandering Industry, if no less a ‘maudlin ideologue’ than Stanley Crouch is distancing himself...
He would probably be a Republican today.
An odd review. You begin it expecting that FINALLY there will be some revelations about Malcolm X.
Well, Crouch manages to write the entire review without saying anything at all.
Maybe Marable wasn’t afraid to speak the truth. Or maybe he was. We don’t really know, because Crouch never even begins to tell us what the book says.
He didn’t ‘hate Whitey’ towards the end either. Read his autobiography.
I doubt he would be a republican but he does appear to have recognized some serious problems with his chosen religion and black nationalism.
Are you familiar with a play called “El Hajj Malik” by N. R. Davidson, Jr.?
See it if it is ever presented in your area.
Does the book reveal how it was Calypso Louis that ordered him killed?
But what about his male prostitute days?

IN HIS OWN WORDS:
‘Jomo Kenyatta, Oginga Odinga, and the Mau Mau will go down as the greatest African patriots and freedom fighters that that continent ever knew, and they will be given credit for bringing about the independence of many of the existing independent states on that continent right now. There was a time when their image was negative, but today they’re looked upon with respect and their chief is the president and their next chief is the vice president.
‘I have to take time to mention that because, in my opinion, not only in Mississippi and Alabama, but right here in New York City, you and I can best learn how to get real freedom by studying how Kenyatta brought it to his people in Kenya, and how Odinga helped him, and the excellent job that was done by the Mau Mau freedom fighters. In fact, that’s what we need in Mississippi. In Mississippi we need a Mau Mau. In Alabama we need a Mau Mau. In Georgia we need a Mau Mau. Right here in Harlem, in New York City, we need a Mau Mau.’
FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1965
Malcolm X had been a pimp, a cocaine addict and a thief. He was an unashamed demagogue. His gospel was hatred: “Your little babies will get polio!” he cried to the “white devils.” His creed was violence: “If ballots won’t work, bullets will.”
Yet even before his bullet-ripped body went to its grave, Malcolm X was being sanctified. Negro leaders called him “brilliant,” said he had recently “moderated” his views, blamed his assassination on “the white power structure” or, in the case of Martin Luther King, on a “society sick enough to express dissent with murder.” Malcolm’s death, they agreed, was a setback to the civil rights movement.
Alias John Doe. In fact, Malcolm X —in life and in death—was a disaster to the civil rights movement...
FIVE PAGES. NOTE THE DATE

I only vaguely remember reading his autobiography so many years ago.
I do recall this: Malcolm X advocated violent revolution to secure the rights that blacks were denied.
The white establishment was horrified and bribed the movement. Welcome welfare for life and destruction of the black family.
In the big picture, X got it right. Blacks had earned a revolution. It is too bad they did not win it violently, for they would have received respect. Instead, they got more slavery in the form of welfare and decades of representation by the likes of Jesse Jackson.
hmmm...might be gold, but it's still a CHAIN and you are nothing but a servant.

It's obviously generational.
