    Malcolm X, like most thinking human beings, changed his mind about many things over the course of his life.

    “Since I learned the truth in Mecca, my dearest friends have come to include all kinds — some Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, agnostics, and even atheists! I have friends who are called capitalists, Socialists, and Communists! Some of my friends are moderates, conservatives, extremists — some are even Uncle Toms! My friends today are black, brown, red, yellow, and white!

    I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against. I'm a human being first and foremost, and as such I am for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole."

    Malcolm X had his reasons.
    That would be another matter from a couple of months ago. I remember the show Roots the next Generations when there was a quote from Al Freeman Jr. who played Malcolm X through the inspiration of Allah became Malcolm X when his original name was Malcolm Little.

    Racism has been with us since the beginning of mankind and Racists have been here as well, there will be racists many many years from now as well and that would be a true fact.

    Malcolm X had his purpose in life and that's all I will say for now.

    Here is a picture of Martin Luthur King and Malcolm X together. It's the only known picture taken of them.
    Although Malcolm rejected King's message of nonviolence, he respected King as a “fellow-leader of our people,” sending King NOI articles as early as 1957 and inviting him to participate in mass meetings throughout the early 1960s

    I deny that-because there are many forms of racism. Liberal white elitists are often racists in the sense they harbor the racism of lowered expectations which is the reason behind affirmative action. Most races have individuals who harbor a racist animus to members of other races.
