Check out the photo, what do you think? I have no doubt X was at a debate, I just think the photo had been altered. I do not know why adjustments were made.
You know I can’t post the copyright image:
The caption reads:
Title: Malcolm X In Oxford
Caption: Black Nationalist leader and Nation of Islam spokesman Malcolm X in Oxford with Eric Abrahams, right, the Student Union president, before addressing university students on the subject of extremism and liberty, 3rd December 1964. (Photo by Keystone/Hulton Archive/Getty Images)
Date created: 02 Dec 1964
The caption tells you he is with Eric Abrahams, the Student Union President who hosted MX at the debate, which they are photographed leaving with an unidentified man and a young woman. And you want me to tell you what it is that has been ‘adjusted’ in the image?
Maybe it would be more simple if you were to explain what it is that makes you believe that the copyrighted Getty image is a fake? He was there evidently, Abrahams was his host, evidently, the young woman turns out to have been a student of Shakespeare (he quoted a passage from Hamlet during his speech, so perhaps you could call her his ENGLISH LITERATURE COACH?) and the unidentified man I have no idea who he might be.
I’m wondering now if it bothers you that he’s with a young woman who is very obviously a white girl. It might be of interest to remember that MX didn’t consider arabs to be white.
He said, when speaking of the Bandung Conference attendees in Indonesia in 1955, that there were no white people at the conference.
Heaven knows how the arab contingent felt about that. Even the Mufti of Jerusalem who was also there, might have felt somewhat miffed.
You remember the mufti? MX said he was a charming, cultured man. Regardless of his close association with Herr Hitler.
