Interesting on many levels that a man who has been dead 46 years garners more respect and headlines than any so called "leader" in 2011 in the Black community.

You know in 75 years there will be a book on how Obama was a flaming coke head queer and how Dick Cheney and George Bush were actually lovers and Nancy Pelosi was a trafficker of Laotian teens.

There had been some rumors for ages that he decorated his apartment in track lighting.

Of course, if you do the math.....

Didn't the honorable Elijah Muhahah choose spouses for his soldiers? What I mean is...he matched people up. You didn't choose your husband or wife rather, they were chosen for you based on the superficial (looks, skin tone, weight etc). Perhaps that would explain the lack of spark in his description of how he and Betty came to know one another. I don't know about the reading of clothes and appearance. I was always taught you could learn a lot about how someone looked and dressed so maybe that's the angle he was coming from; a means of getting at one's character.

Yeah the part about his dad's death was ....something.

Malcolm X (in his Detriot Red days) was bisexual, plain and simple. Even though he had no problem being "gay to get pay" with William Paul Lennon, Malcolm still had the interracial love affair with Bea (aka "Sophie").

And by now, we all know that Betty was THE love of Malcolm's life throughout his pre-Mecca AND post-Mecca days.

not a new book, and not a new theory, and I reall don't give a rats ass if it's true.

So he had an early experience with another man? Doesn't make you gay.

Apparently he, too, went to summer camp. Everybody blows someone at Camp Yawannasukmee.

And what does his being gay or not gay have to do with his struggles and aspirations?

Apparently there's "circimstantial, but strong evidence" that he used the third-party character Rudy in the autobiography to describe his own homosexual encounters. It's been time since I read it, but it's whilst recounting his hustling days that there's a tale of an old man who pays this guy Malcolm knew to undress him and pick him up. If there's any truth in this, it was probably more gay-for-pay.

i say,

so was mlk

not nessisarily true, BUT

really. whut difference would it make.

whut does bein gay have to do with

wantin "freedom by any means nessisary"

or reconizing that blacks in america are

"bamboozled" on a daily bassis.

i never heard him ssay "haaaaaaaaaaayieeeeeeee yoooooohooooooooooooo" so i wasn't affected.

i still have prejudices, as do most folks (esspeacially

those whom say they don't have them) mine are with

the flamboyant and pushy, no matter sexual preference,

race, creed, color, or religion.
