Everything that you said makes a lot of sense and I never thought of it that way, but why didn't they just let the brother walk? It's not as if he was harming the NOI by leaving and doing his own thing. I believe that they were threatened by his brilliance and potential to become even bigger than the NOI. They weren't having that. They weren't going to let him fukk up their hustle. They didn't want anyone or anything bigger than the NOI. It's just all fukked up. I understand what you're saying, but I can't give them a pass on that. They murdered one of the most iconic and influential figures in Black history over jealousy and pride. He was killed by his own people. I don't think that it's comparable to The Mafia. I don't feel like Malcolm was a rat or a traitor. He just wanted to part ways and do his own thing because he witnessed the atrocities of NOI first hand.
I hear you. But again, you gotta come outside of your own feelings and see it for what it is. You said "I dont feel liek Malcolm was a traitor".....those are "your" feelings not the feelinsg of The NOI especially when Malcom said it himself he would put in work if anyone opposed Elijah Muhammad. You say he wasnt a traitor but the NOI did. You said why didnt they just let him walk and that he wanted to part ways but that house that was set on fire was owned by The NOI....he didnt just part ways when he was still living there. When Dr Dre left Death Row he said "You can have whats yours I'm out" Malcolm didnt do that...he was still in that house. Malcolm still wanted to preach in Harlem while it was hot. Aint no parting ways when u wanna preach in Harlem while its hot. Dude was trying to start his own organization in Harlem while it was hot. Malcolm knew The NOI got busy when in defiant of their leader and still stayed in the area.
Also, he did write Elijah muhammad after all the drama apologizing for his actions, this is well known. He aplogized and wanted to get back in Elijah Muhammads good graces. Wethere Elijah Muhahhamd got that letter is a mystery but he did write it. Why did Malcolm apologize if he felt he didnt do something wrong? Was it for protection? Was he really sincere? We'll never know but we do know he tried to get back in Elijah Muhammads good graces after all the drama. If he really wanted to "part ways" as u say he wouldnt have wrote that letter.
yes, I agree they murderd him over jealousy and pride. But in all honesty, that was the actions of a few. Remember the NOi lost membership after that so there was some love for Malcolm here and there by some NOI. Being ex communicated was one thing but I dont believe the sentiments of killing him were felt by everyone in The NOI....Muhammad Ali wasnt allowed to fukk with Malcolm cuz of ex communication but I seriously dont think he wanted him to be killed.
