Malcolm X Can Read

     Malcolm X was a literary beast with a passion for learning that ultimately changed his life.  We know he was a pimp,hustler, drug dealer and user.  It all changed because of God opening his mind and heart to his words of power and strength.  I personally believe that the Nation of Islam under Elijah Muhammad killed El Hajj Malik El-Shabazz  because he knew the truth.  The truth being that the Muslim religion was never meant to be a black boys club that rallies for the black man and means death for the white man.  The Nation of Islam preaches hate of the white race, Malcolm knew the truth after his pilgrimage to Mecca  revealed that black, white, Asian, and any other race or nationality worshiped together as brothers.  Self education can open a world of possibilities, it took Malcolm from being a low life thief to one of the great black leaders of our time.  I say be careful what you choose to believe about the truth of the Muslim religion.   Malcolm saw the bigger picture because he made the choose to educate himself.  He was impressed how a fellow inmate used his words to express himself.  The inmate that gave Malcolm X the desire to learn was named Bimbi.  I won't use this time to bash the murders of Malcolm X because they are more than likely all dead anyway.  I will take the time to say this, I think the federal government as well as the Nation of Islam's leaders Murdered Malcolm X out of fear and shame.  The message the Nation of Islam has made painfully clear is that black men that learn the truth and try to share the knowledge with his brothers will be killed.  I think it's safe to say that Malcolm's passion for knowledge literally brought him closer to God or Allah.
