Oh, for Pete's sake. Rip the damn tin foil off your head and throw it away, would you? Good grief.
Spend some time really reading up on Malcolm X, and especially take note of the many, many photos that were taken of him in his life. He had a dirty reddish hair color, which was clearly visible in his facial hair, including his eyebrows and eyelashes. Good color pictures of him clearly show this.
A quarter of the people in my own family have similar shades of 'dirty red', or 'dirty blonde' hair, and we've got the same African ancestry that Malcolm did. American blacks have all sorts of genes from Europe, Africa, and North America.
