HARD TO BELIEVE...MALCOLM X 'S DARK SECRET (2373 hits)
October 25, 2009.
MediaTakeOut.com had to struggle hard to determine whether or not we were even gonna talk about this. But after a long internal debate we figured that, instead of burying our heads in the sand, it was better to let you guys know what folks are saying about one of the most revered and important African American leaders.
Some openly gay British journalist named Peter Tatchell is trying to make the case that Civil Rights leader Malcolm X was BIs*xUAL. He seems a little light on EVIDENCE though. Here's what he said:
A good example of this neglect is the denialism surrounding the bis*xuality of one of the greatest modern black liberation heroes: Malcolm X. The lack of recognition is perhaps not surprising, given that some of his family and many black activists have made strenuous efforts to deny his same-s*x relationships and suppress recognition of the full spectrum of his s*xuality.
And where did he get this CRAZY idea:
Malcolm's complex, changing s*xuality was never part of the narrative of his life until the publication of Bruce Perry's acclaimed biography, Malcolm - The Life of a Man Who Changed Black America.
Perry is a great admirer and defender of Malcolm X, but not an uncritical one. He wrote the facts, based on interviews with over 420 people who knew Malcolm personally at various stages in his life, from childhood to his tragic assassination in 1965.
O.K Now here's the kicker. The author claimed that Malcolm was a GAY PROSTITUTE. Here's more:
He documents Malcolm's many same-s*x relations and his activities as a male s*x worker, which spanned at least a 10-year period, from his mid-teens to his 20s, as I described in some detail in a previous article for the Guardian. Although Malcolm later married and, as far as we know, abandoned s*x with men, his earlier same-s*x relations suggest that he was bis*xual rather than heteros*xual. Abstaining from gay s*x after his marriage does not change the fundamentals of his s*xual orientation and does not mean that he was wholly straight.
We need to see some real evidence before we believe this ...
It amazes me how these white folks waste their time posting anything about Black leaders on their websites just so they could gain popularity. This is ridiculous indeed.
No way in hell that if this was true the Devil wouldn't have brought it out when Malcolm was whooping his ass for 12 years. I say Peter Tatchell and those other folks on MediaTakeOut.com should have auditioned for the movie "Liar Liar"!!!

Would it matter? That's the question. Bis*xual or not Malcolm was a hero for our people and for other people's around the world fighting for liberation and freedom. This sick parasite media coverage is preferred to distract by using personal traits of a person to shun what they did and accomplished.
But Malcolm X is long dead. There's no way he can be an inspiration nor even a discouragement for anybody living today. We got new leaders and a new generation ready to fight!
Digging up a man's grave to rob him of his decency is a low blow even for the enemy. This guy is a money chaser nothing more. A writer who's career is going nowhere unless he finds someone to make smaller. Why not Malcolm X the greatest blackman ever to walk this continent?

..."Digging up a man's grave to rob him of his decency is a low blow"...
I agree especially since the man cannot defend himself against these accusations.

Hello to everyone,
Firstly, Malcolm X belongs to us, e.g. Black Americans who are descendents of slaves and we belong to the late Malcolm X.
Despite the history of the late Malcolm X, we could best reward his aspirations by exhausting our desire to become a sovereign people or have complete independence from White America on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders to pursue a life, liberty, happiness and prosperity in our own way.
We must come to have our hands on the helm of our own destiny.
Our ancestors would come alive with the biggest of smile deceased people could have when they see their descendents a sovereign people on a portion of this continent today.
Consequentially, let us stop the idle and frivolous dialogues and jump into the significance and responsibilities of becoming a sovereign people. Am I making sense with you all?
How can anyone be ACCUSED of being bi-s*xual? It is no more an accusation than to be called a man or a woman, or a black or a white. It is not even news.
Malcolm Little like many slaveAmericans today liked to do things that would get them a Free---Go To Jail Card. Many of 2009 Inner City Americans that like going to jail/prision also wear ear rings, pants that show their derriers to everyone. Inner City communities have the highest rates of HIV-AIDS. If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck---Its a Duck. Most 2009; so called gangsters, drug dealers, thieves and thugs are probably Bis*xual.
Malcolm Little was not Malcolm X------and Malcolm X was not AlHajj AbdulMaalik AsShabazz.
Siebra----Decadent post---- Its backbiting about AlHajAbdulMaalik AsShabbazz; who is Dead.
/* Who Are They? Who Are We That We Should Question Who or What He Was? Do We Know? WE KNOW MALCOLM!!! WE KNOW WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR BLACK PEOPLE!
What he has or hasn;t done in private...is not our concern...NOR IS IT THEIRS'!!!
Again we succumb to propeganda by taking this ill-gotten message to the table!!! Cudos to Siebra Muhammad for bringing this thing to light...albeit, the point being moot, is a non-sequiter! We know Better...it doesn't matter whether or not he was or wasn't. THEY said things about Martin too. What are THEY saying about YOU?
BROTHER MALCOLM DELIVERED! Dead and Alive...HE LIVES WITHIN US!
You said this, “This could be our being given a second chance to right this as we now have so much more powers today…”
You all and I should not want to right any wrongs about Mr. Malcolm X. What we want to do is move on to accomplish our sovereignty or complete independence on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders as the Hebrew people moved on from their bondage and slavery in Egypt. We want our own as Moses and the Hebrew people got their own instead of us still wanting to be part of what White America and what White America has. Are you not exhausted from wanting to be a White woman in Black skin? We have always been a part of White America from the times that we were slaves on the plantation. When will you grow out of your slave mentality? Am I making any sense with you?
I am the way, and besides me, there is no other way.
Are you trying to say that s*x is in America????????(smile)
Or are they now teaching s*x education in our public school systems at long last and now every body knows that s*x exist in this country....LOL

Malcom X is one of my main heros. And, as I said on another blog about his s*x life that maybe now we can get him back into the main stream media again and really get to see just how much about him we have left out that we should be praising him in our history books for.(smile)
Things like he was one of the major protectors of Dr. King's safety during those dangerous marches while the press called these two enemies and we at the time had to let this lie stand....This could be our being given a second chance to right this as we now have so much more powers today especially with a Black president...YES WE CAN....YES WE WILL...(smile)
