aight, I've said this many times and no one has ever agreed with me, but here goes:

Malcolm X was a player-hater. He left the NOI because Elijah Muhd. was fucking around on his wife. You want a role model of a family man who wasn't obsessed with having a son, who respected the sanctity of marraige and thought men should toe the same line as women? You have one. Why in all the Malcolm-worship that charactered the early 90's did this point never get made?
