You can't call out James Baldwin on this without also calling out Malcolm X on the same thing.
Why are you spreading these lies???[
Yeah, I just decided to make this stuff up. C'mon man, there is no benefit to me lying about this...
I've read almost every biography about Malcolm X and these rumors from his "Detroit Red"/ street hustling days keep coming up.
You can accept it or not... believe or not...
I didn't want to believe it either but it is what it is.
If James Baldwin didn't say he was a homosexual himself and instead it was just a rumor... would you deny that too?
The only reason I said anything about Malcolm X's sexuality is because a few people in here were so quick to dismiss the lifelong work of James Baldwin based on the fact dude was ? .
I just like historical accuracy even if it I don't agree with it.
So in other words you are spreading lies/gossip just like a woman.
Or I'm paraphrasing part of "Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention" which won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for History by this man:
With all due respect ? him and ? you. I am not impressed by awards especially when they are given for some ? book that contains no concrete evidence and proves nothing.
so we can't have discussions about historical figures because you get upset when the narrative doesn't fit your agenda?
JFK was a known philanderer who was tagging every woman in sight and possibly giving up presidential secrets to some of those women during his after sex bedside chats but that doesn't mean he wasn't a good president who did a lot of great things for America
But, by your rationale, we can't discuss any of that stuff about JFK
? outta here...grow up, man... sometimes your heroes did dirt... not everything is a conspiracy
The difference is that there is real proof JFK was a playboy. There is none that proves Malcolm x ever ? men.
You are naive as ? if you believe everything written in a book about somebody decades after they die.
the new testament??!
Unless it's written by your family or close friends at least then your claims will have some validity -

the government clearly saw MLK Jr. as the bigger threat. When MLK had a communist in his inner circle there were White House meetings about it. J Edgar Hoover never mailed Malcolm X threatening blackmail letters demanding that he ? himself. If anything, a radical militant is the perfect boogeyman for an oppressor class.
One could argue that when Malcolm came back from the Mecca his "threat level" considerably jumped higher. -

You are factual incorrect the gospels were not written centuries after Jesus died. The names mark and Matthew are just their given names
The apostle Peter real name was shimon, Matthew real name was most likely Levi etc etc etc the apostle were given new names.
Mark was yohanan -
nah..
im pretty sure im correct on this.. not about to argue wit u tho.. believe what u believe..
u still a ? ? by the way. -

Both Malcolm X and James Baldwin are saying some of the realist ? ever spoken in this video and you ? managed to end up debating their sexually instead of appreciating the content.
The ? is wrong with you ? ? -

Historical accuracy? So rumors from two books equals historical accuracy?lol The unsubstantiated gossip about Malcolm being ? is only in two hit job books. One from Manning Marable and the other is Bruce Perry, both of these men had no love for Malcolm btw. Malcolm's nephew Rodnell Collins never mentioned anything about Malcolm being ? in his book.
The white supremacist and Zionist run media will stop at nothing to try and diminish our black male leaders and men we look up to. They even try to say Nat Turner was ? , its sad.smh
My thing is, if Malcolm was ? not only would the FBI have outted him, Elijah Muhammad would've made sure he was outted since Malcolm put Elijah's dirt in the streets about sleeping with under aged girls. The NOI would've been jumped on that rumor if it was legit.

People are going to believe what they want to believe...
R. Kelly is a conspiracy...
Michael Jackson is a conspiracy...
Bill Cosby is a conspiracy...
Charlie Sheen is a conspiracy...
Bill Clinton is a conspiracy...
People on the IC are acting like I pulled these rumors about Malcolm X out of thin air...

also... i'm not sure the claim is actually "Malcolm was ? ?"
also... you're really convinced that if these stories were true, the NOI would have known and put it out there... but now let me hear you flip around and declare the NOI would never have harmed Malcolm and the assassination was all the work of Zionists or something.
