I wish I didn't know who that was Emperor...
Anyway @radek, look at Malik's userpage
Malik why do you use the name Malcom X chose when he joined
the racist Nation of Islam organisation,
which he later denounced, and was
murdered by, then?
Malcom X, IMDB

The film shows a white student girl who offers her help to Malcolm X and then gets rudely denied. It's actually based on a real-life event about which after leaving NOI Malcolm X regrets, saying "Brother, remember the time that white college girl came into the restaurant - the one who wanted to help the Black Muslims and the whites get together - and I told her there wasn't a ghost of a chance and she went away crying? Well, I've lived to regret that incident. In many parts of the African continent I saw white students helping black people. Something like this kills a lot of argument. I did many things as a Black Muslim that I'm sorry for now. I was a zombie then - like all Black Muslims - I was hypnotized, pointed in a certain direction and told to march. Well, I guess a man's entitled to make a fool of himself if he's ready to pay the cost. It cost me 12 years."
(n.b. the "black muslims" is not a literal meaning, but referring to the political movement, he still supported Islam because he thought that was the best way to peace in his own views)

I wanted firsthand views of the African leaders -- their problems are inseparable from ours. The cords of bigotry and prejudice here can be cut with the same blade. We have to keep that blade sharp and share it with one another." Now he was sounding like the old Malcolm: "Strangely enough, listening to leaders like Nasser, Ben Bella, and Nkrumah awakened me to the dangers of racism.
I realized racism isn't just a Black and white problem. It's brought bloodbaths to about every nation on earth at one time or another
