His comments shouldn’t surprise most, given his edgy, controversial history.
“It is because the murder of Malcolm X is still alive in the hearts and minds of many, and they wish to charge me with that crime in order to seek to destroy my reputation with the people that love and admire me,” he told Final Call. “And also, to plant the seed in the hearts of those who don’t know me that I am, in fact, a ‘murderer.’”
When asked what he thinks about Lifetime educating a generation of young people about the history of Malcolm in this fashion, he said, “The first thing that our young people should understand, is that there is no statute of limitation on ‘murder.’”
“In two years, it will be 50 years since the assassination of Brother Malcolm: At no time during these 48 years has the government opened the files on that murder of Brother Malcolm, and let the public see those files. I have appealed to the government to open the files, so that everything in those files could be made manifest, not only to the Shabazz family, and the families of those so ill-affected by his murder-but also my family, and the lives that are constantly put in the public.”

Two things come to. mind power corrupts and you can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time,
Didn’t see the presentation yet but Farrakhan needs to remember some of us know the deal and he wasn’t too nice to Malcolm at the end,to put it kindly.
He helped foster the atmosphere that led to someone offing Malcolm,along ironically with the government. Farrakhan told Malcolm when he was asked why Farrakhan was turning against him, that he ,Farrakhan had to go with the power. This was said by Sister Betty who was listening on the line.She said this on I believe Gil Noble’s LIKE IT IS.
Ok…”that” is definitely fk UP!! , no question about it!! And if it is as you say?, then a “traitor”?,YES!!!, ALL day looooong “that” makes him/he was!!! But still!!!, a “murderer”?? , it does not. And the way thangs are nowadays, how all they have to do is “acuse” someone, & how We don’t demand the “truth” nor ask questions OR answers to the “few” questions we DO ask?, they have already…”won”, with their suspicion/”planted doubt”, & therefore achieve their mission without even having to….carry it out. But anyway you look at it?, it’s a sad fkd up situation with Us. On one hand?, we have to/MUST be “inhuman/flawless” to even get “the interview”/gig, & then NEVVA make a mistake!, & if We do?, “We” are the ones screaming “take his ass out” more than anyone else!! Meanwhile….the “otherside” is allowed to fk up ‘on the REGular!!!, & when caught?, are “allowed to be human” & forgiven by ALL!!!, with the quickness, without any “sanctions” against them. And with “this” practice of respect/protection/luuuuuv for Our culture/people?, we will never when the game, even if we are…..”one yard away,1st & goal”. We reeeeeeally should “consider the sourse” juuuuuust a lil bit moe. But again, NO excuse….that was some FOUL shyt, if true!! Just my thoughts.
Before you start jumping to conclusions based on what you’ve HEARD or SEEN on MOVIES you need to be able to back it up with truth. What you have said clearly shows your lack of information and your ignorance. You and others alike continue to say such foul things about such a powerful man, who had and has deep love for Bro. Malcolm, w/o knowing if whats being said is correct. then you allow others to feed off your lies and stupidity when you aren’t even able to back up what you say with truth or liable source. So before trying to jump to conclusions figure out the truth from a reliable source and not off an ignorant and blind OPINION. For more info and real facts about this man Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation that he leads go to noi.org and stop jumping to conclusions and getting mad off of lies.
