Break free? From hoping their successful in their undertaking? From knowing the truth behind who killed Malcolm X (who this post had nothing to do with)? It sounds like you need to break free from whatever has brainwashed you to be so hostile to the thought of organized political killings and framing of black leaders as hate groups because their message uplifts their own. The NOI did far more for blacks including getting them off drugs, in jobs, and a sense of pride of themselves for the first time since emancipation. More than any other group from its founding through to the 90s. You need to become far more educated before you can comment on such issues based on your deflection to a nonexistent moral high ground in hoping I break free of knowing these things. You need to ask yourself why you want this.

As I said, nothing to debate here. You have no points and you’ve done little research.

Golden plates

>According to Latter Day Saint belief, the golden plates (also called the gold plates or in some 19th-century literature, the golden bible) are the source from which Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon, a sacred text of the faith. Some accounts from people who reported handling the plates describe the plates as weighing from 30 to 60 pounds (14 to 27 kg), gold in color, and composed of thin metallic pages engraved with hieroglyphics on both sides and bound with three D-shaped rings. Smith said that he found the plates on September 22, 1823, on a hill near his home in Manchester, New York, after the angel Moroni directed him to a buried stone box.

Yep, pretty much Malcolm Xs experience in Mecca showed him that everyone from all races, ethnicities, nationalities are equal under God. He didn’t see any special lines for white people, asians, black people, etc. (Pretty much why there was a recent uproar a few years ago when there was a stampede because there was plenty of space that could be used but was closed off for royalty and billionaires).
