Whether he recanted it or not DOES NOT MATTER to utamaroho's statement. It was just an dramatic example. If you noticed it was the scene from the movie not the book. The scene itself is very significant and one could see by the movie that even Spike Lee chose to dramaticize this point while not emphasizing Malcolm's retraction of the statement.

I wonder why?????????????????????????????????????????

"Activism is the practice of using an internal, self-determining source of power to live one's life and/or enact some sort of change. Power is the ability to define reality, while self-determination is to decide or define one's self. Therefore activism, is not simply something done to right some wrong or to fight some cause but rather it is a way of life. Activism is the way of life where one can define self and change anything that may impede or control the reality that one chooses to live."-Solarus
