That this was about how he didn't care about race issues as much as he did being an anti corporation anti plutocracy anti oligarchy socialist.

They won't touch Malcolm - I think they know better. He highlighted how the poorest white man benefited and participated in racism towards blacks with glee.

Excellent interviews with Betty Shabazz, Dick Gregory, Maya Angelou, Percy Sutton and others who knew him. I gained a better understanding of pre-Mecca and post-Mecca Malcolm X. And of the hateful forces that silenced him. Though the man was brutally assassinated his brilliant spirit lives on.
