US - Malcolm X, who ranted against the White men most of his life, apparently had no qualms in sharing carnal pleasure with one of them, it has emerged. Malcolm was bisexual and had an affair with a white male, according to a biography of the legendary black radical activist of the 1960s. The unseemly love affair of Malcolm X, who ferociously championed black supremacy and argued that blacks were the original people of the world, has been brought to light in a biography, 'Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention'. The biography was written by Manning Marable, an established African-American scholar. The new revelation about his sexual preferences makes for interesting reading as Malcolm X had reportedly parted ways with his mentor Elijah Muhammad over disillusionment about the latter's alleged sexual excesses. Malcolm had embraced Elijah Muhammad's outfit The Nation of Islam while in prison in the late 40s, but left the Black Muslim organization in 1964. He was reportedly bemused over Elijah Muhammad's several extramarital relationships. It was widely seen that his rift with Elijah and subsequent breaking up with the Nation were reasons behind his assassination in 1965. Some activists of the Nation were convicted of his murder. The new biography also says one of his killers escaped justice. Full Story>>
