Two men who were convicted of murdering Malcolm X in 1966 were exonerated in 2021 after serving decades in prison—and the New York District Attorney admitted thAt the news conference on Tuesday, civil rights lawyer Ben Crump said: “It’s not just about the triggermen. It’s about those who conspired with the triggermen to do this dastardly deed.” He claims that government agencies had factual and exculpatory evidence that they concealed from the family of Malcolm X and the men wrongly convicted of his assassination. Crump alleged that high-ranking U.S. officials conspired to kill the civil rights leader, repeatedly referencing J.

He was killed by a fellow muslim in a power play over the group Nation of Islam. Louis Farrakhan was involved in that shooting but denies ordering the murder. He has been running the Nation of Islam for decades and has been involved in murdering police officers.
The knock out ‘game’ where black men hit white people and Jewish and Chinese people unexpectedly comes from him. obama attended meetings with him.

Rep. Charles Rangel - democrat, protected Farrakhan and others in a murder of an officer. Pelosi praised him when he was caught in tax evasion.

A quote from Dr. Shelby Steele, from "What Killed Michael Brown," a documentary film produced by Dr. Steele and his son Eli:

"Wasn't it actually the new Liberalism, coming out of the 60s, that shaped the world of Michael Brown? The enormously seductive power of 1960s liberalism was and is its promise to redeem and deliver us from the evils of white supremacy? This liberalism was so transformative that even many conservatives fell under its sway. Wasn't this liberalism far more focused on assuaging white guilt than on developing blacks?
Back in the 60s, we blacks made a very bad deal with America. We demanded that America help us develop. But if this was logical it also was naive. It seduced us into putting our fate right back into the hands of the same white America that had oppressed us in the first place. We began to live by a formula. America's racial guilt was our power. White guilt became Black Power.
Of course, there was a catch. To milk white guilt we had to always be victims of white racism. White racism and black victimization became the heart and soul of liberal power in America. [emphasis added]

Great post! The MSM was aiding and abetting the communist elites even back in the sixties.
