- I am not going to get in a debate as to whether Malcolm X was a racist
- or not since admittedly I have not read his biography. I did see a
- 60 Minutes story on him though and honestly I don't remember them
- mentioning the Panthers. And I strongly doubt that he was a member of
- the Panthers for "most of his career". (I know, you said he was a
- racist for most of career, but the only thing you used to back up
- your claim that he was a racist was his membership in the Panthers.)
-
- And you're not going to pin me into an argument that there is no such
- thing as a black racist. I would never try to make such an argument.
- There are black racists and there are white racists.
