Mi holla respect to all the gun men dem, gun men alone keep gun men friend. Fire bun, fi all a informer dem, informer alone keep informer friend.
They pissin me off with that Malcolm X shyt.
I've seen a few of them over the last few days try to claim he was gay.
There's no evidence whatsoever to support that bullshyt.
They've been trying to do it since Bruce Perry’s Malcolm X biography in 1991 and tried again in 2011 with Manning Marable's biography.
Edit:
Malcolm X Was "Gay-for-Pay," New Book Says
The Sexuality of Malcolm X

Dude is delusional. He read Marable's book and ran with it. if Malcolm was gay don't you think it would've came out during his time with the Nation when they were at the height of popularity nationally? Don't you think it would have came up as a way to discredit him when he left the nation? He had much more to lose when he was alive if those allegations were true and came to light. And let's also keep in mind that Marable didn't have any primary evidence and relied on second hand sources for his book.
But let's also keep it real, this same crowd would be calling Malcolm a "hotep", "militant", "problematic", "misogynist", and everything else under the sun if they truly researched him and understood his views. It seems as though people only want to see post-Mecca Malcolm and sum up his entire life from just that period. shyt is highly disingenuous. It's easy to change and manipulate people's legacy when they're gone. They've done the same thing to Ali, Prince, Pac and a slew of others. That's why knowing history and socio-political commentary is important. When you don't know, people can change the narrative to suit their agenda. When you know better, you can take that power back.
