You are aware that between the assassination of Malcom X, which happened in 1965 and the vid you posted lies a stretch of give or take 8 years?
Also, I would honestly advise, as Thumpalucus said, to read up on the segregation and race struggle in the 60ies. Malcolm X wasn't as black and white either, as you would obviously like him to be.
Malcolm X was killed in 1965, my point was that Muhammad Ali probably had more to fear from them than any white person since Malcolm X was killed doing exactly what Muhammad Ali did later in his life. Cults don't like it when you leave them, especially if you're a well known vocal celebrity. So I'm saying its likely he felt some intimidation from that group, this was also the opinion of Muhammad Ali's father.
And your argument against this is that Malcolm X was killed in 1865 which affects my argument because of....what? Some reasons? Why?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
