The ABCs of Spike Lee’s ‘X’

Share via

The favorable movie review of “Malcolm X†and related stories in The Times are contributing to an incredibly disgraceful episode in American life. A man of hate makes an epic film deifying another hater and the targets of this hate celebrate the film!

Malcolm X spent his life as a criminal until he could focus and politicize his hate on whites under the aegis of the Black Muslims, leaders in racist hate. Despite the active myth-making by the media, anybody who has read “The Autobiography of Malcolm X†knows he never relinquished his hatred of whites, even if he broke with the Muslims. Most prominent among those who now try to canonize Malcom X are people who continue to see all whites as “devils.â€

Is The Times intimidated and afraid of the truth? All Americans lose when truth is lost, even African-Americans.
