My understanding of Malcolm X derives from several dinners with the prominent SNCC lawyer Len Holt who was quite non plussed by Malcolm's politics before and after his break with SNCC. So I did not learn it from any school. I certainly did not learn about Malcolm X from Spike Lee.
Malcolm X's criticism of the Farce on Washington was quite important--I have already written that-- but again Forman is more illuminating here than Malcolm X.
It does not seem to me that you prove that the SNCC could count on Malcolm X, while still a member of NOI, for much other than support of Robert Williams. And people probably didn't know at that time that Malcolm X had entered the NOI into tacit agreements with Klan. I am curious about why you have said nothing about this.
What made Malcolm X an interesting political figure was his break from the NOI, not his participation in it. We can argue about whether the ideological break was completed before he was assasinated by the Nation of Islam. I think Malcolm X's thought remained a confusing and contradictory mix of islam, pan africanism, incipient socialism, black business development through separation.
I am sorry that you have no respect for my intellect. But it's something I will have to live with. You can imagine how pained I am to have won the disrespect of you and Proyect.
Yours, Rakesh
