lolRobtard, you know very well what I am asking you. You are being deliberately dishonest in this discussion.
Let's try again:
When Malcom X was in the NOI, he believed all whites were devils. During his trip overseas he realized how wrong that concept was and publicly repented of it. Yet you are still referring to him as a "racist @ss." Why?
A Strawman now? EPIC FAIL, bro. This:

Probably because he was a racist ass. Granted, towards the end of his life he seemed to mellow-out some.
Notice how I said "seemed to mellow-out some" in regards to his later years? Pretty much implies I'm saying his point of view(s) changed.
So all you did [yet again] was call me ignorant and then proceed to restate what I said. ie "he was racist; then he changed." LOLZ, you're not so good at the debate stuff, guy.

How is that when you are still calling him a racist @ss? How is that possibly implying you are saying his views changed?
That's you still being dishonest.

I didn't say you were ignorant.

I just wanted to know why you had the opinion you had about the issue. I felt it would give me insight on that kind of opinion. But you seem like you are back tracking and dancing around a straight answer.

I wasn't aware that this was a "debate." I'm just looking for clarification.

🤨
I don't even know what to say to this.
I can't help but interpret this as you saying you don't want to talk about it with me and to buzz off.

He's dead, dude, so he can't be a racist anymore, unless a corpse can be racist. I said he was a racist ass and then he changed, obviously while still alive. Which you agree with 100%, yet implied I was ignorant on the issue and then proceeded to restate what I just said.
There was no need for you to argue with my initial post, you simply enjoy being confrontational and using the troll-tactic of saying someone is wrong and then captioning their same thoughts. Funny, it is.

no...
you asked how he segregated people. He did so by their religious affiliations. If someone believes that people are inherently better because they belong to one faith over another, that is divisive.

I went back a few posts to see how this started...
I was actually wanting you to espound on why you thought he was a racist @ss and somewhere it turned into something else. I apologize for offending you.
I am still interested in why you thought he was racist (back when he was in the noi).

So you're saying... purely by virtue of him being a Muslim... that he was a segregationalist of some type.

Because the NOI was a racist (and hilarious) organization and he was a part of it. Caucasians being evil creations etc.
I've not followed the NOI as it is now; hear they've calmed down a bit too.

The "etc." is the part I was interested in. Please continue.

Nah, they're the exact same. All appearances to "tone it down" are purely politically motivated and attempts to win government funding by playing the non-profit game. Obviously you can't expect to get a check if you keep saying "Whitey is the devil."
I'm Muslim. As a Muslim, I don't believe I am better than anyone. I do believe it makes aspects of my spiritual journey easier on me, but that doesn't mean I am better than another person. There is no evidence that Malcolm X "believes that people are inherently better because they belong to one faith over another."
Both Malcolm and I adhered to the same religion. That makes it relevant. I know what he believed.
Of all the religions, Islam is superior. "This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion." ~The Holy Qur'an 5:3 That doesn't mean that the believers are inherently superior. It just means they are on the right path.

your argument is "I know better than you because I'm a muslim"?
