Re: Malcolm X's meeting with the KKK

I think it is, to put it diplomatically, strange that such a story is brought up now - nearly seven decades after it supposedly happened. Of course, the real reason for publishing such a "story" now is the actual importance of the BLM and the climate of Islamophobia.

If the meeting really did take place, it was of course wrong. Malcom X was not a saint and he made mistake. Anyway, in contrast to these journalists, he was a historic personality who played an extraordinary and progressive role in the liberation struggle.

If the meeting did not take place and it is simply a smear, this tells us a lot about these journalists and those who offer them space to publish.

I think there is a reference in one of the biographies of M.L. King to this meeting based on FBI files ---- I remember a mention of the "fact" (not confirmed in this article) that Malcolm said to the Klan that they needed to unite "against the Jews ....."

THere is no HINT in this report of that and perhaps that "story" is false .... but who knows????

(I think Manning Marable or someone who studied Malcolm X said he had been an anti-semite when he was into the NOI "Yacub" story ...)
