Or maybe Marable wanted to soften Malcolm X's message to fit his own guided liberalism and make him politically compatible with the safe radicalism of leftist who support Obama. Honestly no one will know, because he's dead and the only thing left is this crappy book full of FBI notes and virtually non-existent interviews with living people who knew Malcolm X. So with that said, the sooner this trashy mainstream innuendo-laden publication is forgotten the better.

His autobiography was an honest account of his life and no one in their right mind could think that he was ever placed on a pedestal! Professor Marable has contributed to black thought but who knows why he thought to smear an internationally known hero.
