    Jealousy is everywhere...Even your closest enemy plays as your friend...
  • Envy kills. Malcolm X was handsome, smart, articulate, sophisticated, visionary, and phenomenal. He had everything.
  • It's never your enemy the gets you, it's always your own people. - Nasir Jones
  • No one ever truly dies until they are forgotten. Malcolm X's spirit lives. "I am Malcolm X."
  • @jenniehale6523
    Ms. Attallah Shabazz was a picture of class. Peace be unto her.

    Denzel should have won an Oscar for his portrayal of Malcolm X

    As a latino man I am forever gratefull for the teachings of Malcolm X. Growing up in NYC with no dad at home and no mentors I was lucky to watch his movie and read his book. Although I am not a muslim his teachings has been instrumental on keeping me away from drugs. So much I can credit him for. I wish we latinos had a smart man like Malcolm for a role model. He did his best during his time and I only wonder how much better he would have become if he was still alive. He was a very smart man that cared for his people! Amazing how he changed his life for the better. His kids and generations should forever be proud of him for the positive lessons he left behind.

    Malcolm's daughter still believes Louis instigated her father's death, you can see it in her eyes, she don't trust him and you can't blame her.
  • @jhnmon88
    Even in death Malcolm became everything they didn't want him to be.
  • @ZeeTheGreat333
    I salute her for holding a dignified dialogue with him because that must have been so hard. Peace and healing to the Shabbaz family forever 🖤🖤🖤

    As a Mexican American I know there are those from my community to whom I may look up too but none like Malcolm X, TRULY A HEROES HERO!
  • @marcoprimo4042
    Mike Wallace is a legend, he met some of the most influential people to ever live.
  • I’m so sorry for the pain and anguish this family endured. Her body language speaks volumes.
  • @lifestraight
    "And I have sisters who are spun out into this environment, as tumbleweed, unhealed". God Bless Attallah Shabazz. This is exactly why I can't rock with Farrakhan til this day.
  • Eventually my mother suffered a complete breakdown, and the court orders were finally signed. They took her to the State Mental Hospital at Kalamazoo. My mother remained in the same hospital at Kalamazoo for about 26 years. My last visit, when I knew I would never come to see her again-there-was in 1952. I was twenty-seven. My brother Philbert had told me that on his last visit, she had recognized him somewhat. "In spots" he said. But she didn't recognize me at all. She stared at me. She didn't know who I was. Her mind, when I tried to talk, to reach her, was somewhere else. I asked, "Mama, do you know what day it is?" She said, staring, "All the people have gone." I can't describe how I felt. The woman who had brought me into the world, and nursed me, and advised me, and chastised me, and loved me, didn't know me. It was as if I was trying to walk up the side of a hill of feathers." -Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X
  • As a 14 yr old South African I remember how inspired I was at the teachings of Malcolm X and Steve Biko. As a boy growing up, their teachings have helped me understand this world better, understand myself and what's been happening to us as black people. How I wish they were still physically around, these two giants who really loved their people and looked out for the black man. I thank them for the lives they lived and for touching my soul.
