Malcolm X's Rap Sheet

After viewing the above interview of MalcolmX and reading several comments posted in response to it---I got the idea that the general gist of some of comments was that young black males (today) were out of touch with Malcolm’s message. My take on most of the comments was African-American young males who took up thug life, gangsta-ism, criminal professions, and other forms of street life, were somehow violating a code of conduct etched into African-American male culture by the Honorable MalcomX--- I disagreed with those premises and responded as follows:

Death is essential to LIFE---freedom dictates BLOOD and DEATH---
Had X not died as he did we would be without our messiah---as X is a messiah to gangstas and thugs who are passing thru the rites of the STREETS just as X (Detroit RED) did...
anyone who is critical of gangbangers need ask themselves what have they (themselves) done for a young black brother lately???

I received a response from MasterClipEditor “look Malcolm never hurt anybody, he was a gangster, but he was never violent. Anyone hurting other people with violence is not like Detroit Red”.

MasterClipEditor I don’t know how you define hurt or define gangster---but having committed several burglaries (daylight) in my teenage years I know first hand the hurt such crimes caused, moreover I have come in direct contact with homeowners and had to take evasive actions, threatening bluffs, as well as actually attacking one homeowner (in self-defense).
Malcolm X was a (night time burglar) the most serious and dangerous type of burglar there is---in the State of Texas night time burglary is considered a violent crime and carries the exact same punishment level as robbery, assault, murder etc. Being an hands on criminologist I think it is highly probable that an habitual nighttime burglar such as Malcolm X was, found himself in many violent encounters. Moreover, as said, nighttime burglary is a violent crime in and of itself.
Thanx fo the insight.
