LOL. You dudes are obviously out of touch with reality in regards to what a man is suppose to be all about, more power to you and others though.
You're an imbecile.
So does Malcom X having homosexual relations change your view on him?

Well, the guy died literally a few days ago. And the guy was one of the leading African-American scholars of his time.
Wiki's brief bio of Manning Marable:
[h2][/h2]
Marable was born in Dayton, Ohio. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Earlham College and his PhD from University of Maryland. Marable taught at the University of Colorado at Boulder and Ohio State University, where he was chairman of the Department of Black Studies. He later took a position at Columbia University. Marable also served as the founding director of the Africana and Hispanic Studies Program at Colgate University.[sup][2][/sup]
Marable served as Chair of Movement for a Democratic Society (MDS).[sup][4][/sup] Marable served on the Board of Directors for the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network (HSAN), a non-profit coalition of public figures working to utilize hip-hop as an agent for social change.[sup][5][/sup] Marable was also a member of the New York Legislature's Amistad Commission, created to review state curriculum regarding the slave trade.[sup][6][/sup]
It was reported in June 2004 by activist group Racism Watch that Marable had called for immediate action to be taken to end the U.S. military's use of Raphael Patai's book The Arab Mind which Marable described as "a book full of racially charged stereotypes and generalizations."[sup][7][/sup] In a 2008 column, Marable endorsed Senator Barack Obama's bid for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.
Out of all people you think this guy would really have an agenda or working for the "evil white man," to paint Malcolm gay...It was one time in his life, I doubt Malcolm was actually gay he just had one intimate encounter with another man. White people don't give a $!*$ about Malcolm anymore to spend time try painting him gay, while he is arguably the most influential African-American thinker, the dude is dead and the movement he was trying to lead as well. There is no evil corporation trying to paint Malcom as a homosexual, it is only through 20 years of research by one of the most decorated and respected African-American scholars of his time. But yea, continue to wallow in your ignorance, and false machismo. Being gay made Bayard Rustin, James Baldwin and Langston Hughes all less real black men though

Black guy prasing it, no...leading scholar in his field prasing it, yes.
I know most Niketalkers graduated from Everest College but there is a big difference between allegations and the research that Mr. Marable did. I know most of you don't read books but the book is widely being lauded by people of all creeds and colors. Spike Lee was tweeting about how good the book was but yea its still just an evil white man conspiracy to make black people gay.

If sexual relations with another man hurts his legacy, his legacy was nonexistent.
And AMP, you've convinced me to add this book to my Kindle. I can honestly say I'm not well read on the man at all aside from the 10 minutes of lecture he got in my history class in high school.

It clears as day that alot of you don't know what it takes and means to be a black man in general. Also, for the black dudes in here that are once again allowing the wool to be pulled over their eyes......it's never too late to come back home brotha, if I can call you that......brotha/brothas.

Dude is the epitome of a strong black man homosexuality has always been viewed as taboo and unnatural in the black community.Its not acceptable .Its always been associated with weakness.This dude RAPPERS set the standards for alot of young black males and is a hero to many of us. To see them say that would make young black males feel alienated by a hero and cast doubt on his actions and beliefs.He wouldn't be viewed as the hero he was anymore.
fixed for modern day relevance. you can add athletes and jail culture to that list of black youth influences too, unfortunately.
