Manning Marable's book is pretty interesting. He talks about Betty's affair with Malcolm's closest ally and Malcolm's sexual relationship with a teenage OAAU secretary. If true, isn't it hypocritical of Malcolm to talk bad about Elijah Muhammad?

I'm scared to read it.
 
Does he provide evidence for his accusations?

If so...

...oh, boy.

Still - the FBI would have LOVED to have outed him a looooooooong time ago. Not to mention the NOI.

there's proof of elijahs affairs

prove brother malcolm doings, apple troll
 
Man, this book had a lot of bombshells...imagine if Marable had lived long enough to do the talk show circuit to defend his book...he would have caught all kinds of hell...just ironic that he died a few days before his book was released...

Yea I really wish he was still alive so he could go on TV explaining his book.

Despite the bombshells in the book, it's a very good read. One of the best written about Malcolm.
 

Don't be, in all honestly the book is very good. Only a small part brings up the not-so-perfect life of Malcolm. It offers a lot of insight into the real man and his mission. We like to put people on a pedestal and ignore ( or exploit) their flaws, but those flaws are what help make them remarkable people.
 
Yeah, but those "not so perfect" moments portray him as a homo and now a pedo. :smh: I'm cool.

The homo stuff happened when he was a thug and ended when he left prison and became Malcolm X.

He isn't a pedo. I purposely used the word 'teenager' because that is what he did to Elijah Muhammad...that word is deliberately heed to draw emotion. She was 18. And all of Elijah Muhammads women were also 18 or older.
 
Day by Day this book is starting to turn into a crock of shit. Where are Marables sources. Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but doesn't it seem odd this book comes out with all this new info on one of the greatest African American leaders of all time. the author dies a week before it comes out and is not here to answer any questions. Who were his sources??? The FBI files book on Malcolm had none of this stuff
 
What is it with journalist and historians always trying to marginalizes great black leaders by sniffing around their dicks. Elijah, Martin, and Malcolm lived in a time when it took big balls to seek out on the institutionalized racism so adversely affecting black America. With big balls normally come a big dick, and for those who have them know it is hard to keep a big dick to one woman. Until they attack the founding fathers with the same brush I give no credibility to such books.

I agree with this to the fullest.
 
this book is rather poor imo, im reading it so as to have some reference, but I find it sad that we do this shit to ourselves in representing some of our best

wonder how folks will cosign this bullshit once it starts coming out as cannon fodder in education, and the likes of fox news arguments

this author is rather suspect if you ask me
 
Does he provide evidence for his accusations?
No he can't but what he does do is just relveales the real names of some of the people that were in Malcolm's life,prior to him being coming muslim and after.Thats about as much proof as your going to get.

Remember people,the author has to sell the book and these claims,whether true or false,is part of doing so.

The homo stuff happened when he was a thug and ended when he left prison and became Malcolm X.
The claim alone is an assault on Malcolms character because in his autobiography he never claimed to have done anything sexual with the suspected homosexual gentlemen.Malcolm simply alluded to a friend being paid well to do weird like fetish behavior for a fee with him,not Malcolm.And the author took that and ran with it.Putting Malcolm in the place of his friend because the Homosexual gentlemen was known for doing favors for him & letting Malcolm used his home address whenever he was incarcerated.

It's a hell of a claim and a far reach for it to even be entertained,seriously.

:smh:Might I add that the author thinks that Malcolm purposely left out alot of things because he didn't want it to tarnish his legacy,it might be so but given the time and period in america who would have thought someone like Malcolm would even have a legacy:rebels usually get leftout of anything historical for a reason.

They already do with Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings...granted, not with the same vitriol, but they have...

come on y'all. It ain't like Betty looked like Angela Bassett. :rolleyes:

You are going straight to hell for that one...:hmm::D

If you actually have the book, which I doubt.. he lists the sources.

Wow. Manning Marable went from being one of the greatest historians ever to a liar...all because he wrote about some shit you niggas are embarrassed to learn. :smh::smh:

No.

Elijah gave this image that he was all righteous, Malcolm didn't.

Fuck.......your soldiers got urges too.

Y'all keep sayin the NOI had reason to 'out' Malcolm. I beg to differ... That would be admitting that the most important figure in the NOI aside from THEM and Fard Muhammad -- the one responsible for most of its growth and establishing of the majority of its mosques, was gay. In a hyper-masculine, super conservative religious setting, this is unfathomable.

as for the FBI, this wasn't today, where there are emails, jpegs, videos and audio recordings of such incidents. Everything would have been hearsay. Malcom and the NOI could easily have washed those rumors away as the libelous devil wreaking havoc amongst and trying to discredit God's people.

I was waiting for this; that bullshit story came off as a romance novel. Jefferson raped way more slaves than Sally Hemming.
 
Why hasnt their been FBI confirmation of his affair(s) as there has been for those of MLK Jr? I seem to remember the contrary actually, with Hoover even being frustrated that he could never catch X in infidelity.

I'd believe the homosexual allegations before this one.
 
I don't know.. but I do know that the FBI doesn't release all of its files and when they do, they black out a lot of shit.

Don't blame the author for this.. Malcolm's closet ally is the source of the information.

How many times do we have to spell it out for you cats... the "gay" stuff happened BEFORE he became "Malcolm X".

Question. When a man goes to prison.. the first thing BGOL says is he probably was involved in some gay shit while there... why all of sudden a man that spent about 7 years in jail there is no way he could have been involved in gay shit?


I disagree,
Adam Clayton Powell used the gay rhetoric on Dr. King about his friendship with Bayard Rustin. He threatened to make up some bs about King being gay. Remember J. Edgar Hoover was gay and you think he would not have used this against Malcolm X. Malcolm X debated James Baldwin numerous times and considered him a friend, but never did we hear that Malcolm X was gay. Elijah Muhammad met with James Baldwin on numerous occasions to address black issues. If the taint of being gay was possible I think the federal government or the NOI would have certainly used that against Brother Malcolm. I am interested to hear what Farrakhan says about this book in the near future. Also, it obvious to anyone who pays great attention to Manning Marable and his career at Columbia that he ate well off the legacy of Malcolm X. Hell he has been a cottage industry for Marable and others so I yes I view his book as suspect. In the book he says that there is strong circumstantial evidence to consider Malcolm X gay, yet I say this is some gossipy bullshit.
