Believe me, I'm not trying to throw shade on Malcolm X's legacy.
But he was a complex man and several people have both stated in interviews and wrote in books that he was a gigalo for money with men and women in his Malcolm Little years before prison...
You can't call out James Baldwin on this without also calling out Malcolm X on the same thing.
Why are you spreading these lies???[
Yeah, I just decided to make this stuff up. C'mon man, there is no benefit to me lying about this...
I've read almost every biography about Malcolm X and these rumors from his "Detroit Red"/ street hustling days keep coming up.
You can accept it or not... believe or not...
I didn't want to believe it either but it is what it is.
If James Baldwin didn't say he was a homosexual himself and instead it was just a rumor... would you deny that too?
The only reason I said anything about Malcolm X's sexuality is because a few people in here were so quick to dismiss the lifelong work of James Baldwin based on the fact dude was gay.
I just like historical accuracy even if it I don't agree with it.
