Yea. Doc was solid. Couple small details I didn't know.

I guess captain Sam recently passed away, cuz they interviewed his son and not him.

That old dude from the FOI hat was funny af. He a triple OG.

tbh I only recently found out farrakhan's white man heaven song was kinda what sparked ali's interest in the noi.

I felt sad for Ali's brother tho, can tell he really misses ali.

That old white reporter from back in the day getting old af too.
 
I never thought Elijah Muhammad had any knowledge of Malcolm's murder, the people who plotted that kept it from him.

I agree with the old guy about Malcolm shouldn't have brought up Elijah's kids, that had nothing to do with anything concerning their split.
 
Great documentary... but I couldnt help but feel sad about how all of this shit played out.

Kinda irritated me about the older FOI brotha saying "Well who cares about his(Elijah Muhhamads) personal life.. he lifted you(Malcolm) up out of nothing!"

I aint like that at all

You think a move on Malcolm would of been done without knowledge from Elijah? Not possible.

tbh I hate debating this cuz this is soooo old and no one will ever truly know.

But the noi was so openly talking negative about malcolm, that they had to have known it would eventually lead to his death.

Plus members of the noi admitted they tried to bomb his car.

Now did Elijah give the direct order. I highly doubt it.

But ppl gotta understand. The noi is and was a legit cult. Ppl literally thought Elijah was a direct messenger from God. So why wouldnt they kill on his behalf

The NOI covered up and was directly involved in alot of foul shit that many of its followers and even outside supporters like to try and pretend never happened

His name is Melchesidechk.

Just watch the first 2 minutes


He wasn't so much saying "who cares". His point was, Malcolm should have had more care in how he received and reacted to that type of information considering Elijah's role in his life.

If you heard some fucked up shit about a family member, would you handle it in the family or would you run to social media to tell the world? Then how would you feel if you DID run to social media, only to find out that the person who fed you the info was finessing you to look crazy? That's what Wallace did to Malcolm.

You're talking in hindsight, knowing history.

At that time, no one knew about COINTELPRO and J. Edgar Hoover. There were sellouts since slavery but the idea that the government was coordinating infiltration inside of Black organizations was not a widely known concept, not even within the Nation.
 
Ali's brother and the other dude were quick to shit on Malcolm for disclosing that information about Elijah Muhammad.
 
The ending was so sad. That's life sometimes, we don't get to right our wrongs sometimes and make up with the people we've wronged.
