That actually makes sense. The NOI couldnt accept a white person who identifies as black (like myself) into their community so they shot the guy who thought ppl like me could join, right?

in a plot to spare the family the expense of an ivy league college, Hal pretended to have his wallet stolen during malcolm's valedictorian speech. during the commotion, reese and dewey opened fire with semi-automatic rifles, killing malcolm

as malcolm bled out on stage, a witness heard his final words.

"life is unfair...."

no black or white people consider muhhamed ali a traitor hes an american hero. Which fantastic four dude can he be compared to? captain america idk I dont watch comics

Muhhamed Ali felt Malcolm X was a traitor. Both were good friends in the NoI but Ali felt that Malcolm caused him a great pain when he left.

elijah muhammed had malcolm x killed because malcolm x revealed that muhammed was sleeping with multiple female NoI members, sometimes even using group funds to send them away when they were pregnant. all the rhetoric elijah muhammed used against malcolm x as being a "traitor" was covering for this. muhammed ali basically bought into that for a few years but later regretted it


Also a thing to keep in mind about the autobiography co-written by Alex Haley is that Alex Haley (who also wrote Roots) was a black conservative and kept some leftist stuff out of the autobiography while overemphasizing/fabricating some other things to make the narrative of the 'religious journey' seem more striking

I was under the impression that the whole pseudo concubines deal was more or less known by the inner circle. The rationale being "Solomon did it, so why not us?" Although IIRC I think some of the women included wives of other NoI members.
