    That's the sole reason that this is being made right now. They know how much disdain the black community has for homosexuality, so they'll latch on to any perceived chinks in Malcolm's armor to weaken his message and further drive a wedge between those of us who are still conflicted about the way to deal with injustice.

    The depravity and conniving with which these cave demons operate knows no bounds.

    In religion we have been told to NO SEEKING TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT PEOPLE because there are always skeletons and suspect/shady stuff especially in the sex area.

    We have told to no DEEIFY MEN AND WOMEN. because they lie and sin. And thise who take that path will always be disapointed or stay blind, peacefully or violently, to some facts.

    Those who respect Malcolm x for his FIGHT FOR BLACK PEOPLE IN AMERICA. Wont give a damn about that show.

    Those, aka the FANATICS, who take him as a perfect human being,aka a ? , will be sad, feel insulted, even disapointed by Malcolm.
    Thats the targeted audience imo.

    The FBI couldn't find anything on Brother Malcolm outside of what he had already been convicted of and his petty crimes as a youth. Given that the FBI's task was to get as much dirt on Malcolm X as humanly possible, are we really to believe that they couldn't dig this ? up but some random ? could??? The Feds painted him to be basically a saint; a man that did absolutely no wrong, unlike Martin Luther King Jr. In that era, digging up ? skeletons would have been a deathblow to Malcolm's integrity and would have destroyed him completely. That's the kind of ? the FBI would have wanted against him and they couldn't find any of it.

    See, here's the thing..in order to pull this off they need black actors. Have a problem with it, hold our own accountable and do not support any black actor that takes part in this.

    If they have a twitter or Instagram, don't flood their page with attention, leave it barren with uninterest. If they have old work they get residuals from, vacate those products from your life.

    Take a stand with us first, so these things aren't possible to pull off.

    Their precious narrative is being rewritten everyday by reality. So now they want to restructure the black narrative to what? get even? Simply because common sense has for the most part prevailed?

    This some petty and sinister ? when you think about it. The funny thing is they dont't even realize how transparent it all is. They swear people are oblivious.

    Yep but who do you think published it?

    There is so much misinformation presented as fact everyday now a days that people will buy into it too. Especially if authored by a black man. Psychological warfare is a muthafucka.

    So much foolishness in this thread.

    I haven't read this book yet, but I know the author's reputation, and will say that he wouldn't put it in the book if he didn't have evidence for it, whether he's ultimately right or wrong.

    Furthermore, this doesn't take away from Malcolm's legacy, if true.

    This is stupid b.

    Think about it. It's over forty years later. Marable would have access to all kinds of material that the FBI wouldn't have had back then.

    That was Ilyasah Shabazz the third child of Malcolm and Betty. Attallah is oldest.

    Other than a few whites that like tearing down black figures, I don't think most of them will care.

    It makes me sick how ? people always try to claim dead people by shaming them only to turn it around like its for ? rights or something. It's ? , they just do that to make themselves feel better.

    Whatever mistakes (yes, mistakes) Malcolm Little made when he was desperate for money as a youth should not reflect the weight of what Malcolm X accomplished as an adult.

    If any of the alleged stories are true, I am sure he held that time of his life with much shame, not as man who would have championed homosexuality, hence why he turned to Islam.

    It serves no purpose to add this to his story other than to destroy his character.

    Edit: This is all considering that the sources are all questionable although there are multiple.

    ...do you know Manning Marable's ethnic background?

    beyond that, i'm wondering how many outraged people actually read the book.
