“Being an old farm boy myself, chickens coming home to roost never did make me sad; they always made me glad.”
A little too much Malcolm? Was it though? he might have aptly called it. He really knew and understand the white man, it was fatal for an Organization on razors edge and under the watch like he was, someone goaded Elijah Muhammad to make him ostracize unfairly the main recruiter for the Nation of Islam. This was the immediate, remotely a lot was being done as there was a conspiracy to divide them counting on the ego of the black man and counting correctly.
Even if it was a gaff which I doubt, it was merely a final straw someone had been whittling at the trunk of their bond and that person was Louis,X, completely excommunicating the man was a little too much and that made him react the way he did
But still the bigger man would have seen the hurt speaking and called him in, imprisoning in guilt, compensation and gratitude. But he let his ego allow him abadnod and discard his supersonic.
He might call him to Florida, had a talk and kept him in charge of Chicago or New York.
They knew how big the black man's ego can be and how it can be bifurcated to create discord between them. to rile the jealousy that's stems from the arrogant ego self. If Elijah has been more calmer he might have seen the bigger picture and the subtle chess of the white men to replay his reply and requesting a word from hkm knowing his lackey for the shine, he was poor old Asthmatic Poole before his enlightenment, and it worked.
Had he accepted Malcolm's mistake, giving him a slap on the wrist the Nation of Islam would have been as big as the FBI or the CIA today and they couldn't have that happening. It was the first time a black only organization was educating, improving and marshaling the affeisot blacknmusiclim community and it would have spread and become instrumental to the emancipation and liberation of black nations and communities in Africa.
Similar ego problem led to the goad of Bobby Seale to destroy the Black panther party for the puppeteered ephemeral in the Huey knew then. But he too couldn't be managed.
As black people when you have a supersonic, or are about to create a community within a community there are certain people who will come for you or attack using those closest.
You have to protect, endure and swallow think bigger picture and surmount it. Your supersonic might be uppity, but don't you dare make Elijah's mistake, or abandon him like Mohammed Ali did.
He took the excommunication badly and hounded by the press with the shame he had no choice to accept a liberal outlook, created Muslim Mosque Inc, too much of the public figure he had to but invariably capitulated and was on it before the assassination.
Don't let ego take real progress from you, in a bid to both escalate a contrived commitment and sate an ego, they were machinated against by the obvious jealous Louis X and led to the fall of what would could have been the first Black League of Nations, or snowballed into the Nations of Islam, had Elijah played it cool,
In your crew, Educational and political parties and anti clubs, make sure in times of conflict or the ego clash that you see the bigger picture, enemies exist everywhere and so do Manchurian candidates, Don't ever make Elijah's mistake
