The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 8th study session on Randy Roberts and Johnny Smith's 2016 release, Blood Brothers: The Fatal Friendship Between Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X. Ali passed away weeks after the book was released. Roberts and Smith, both Suspected Racists, present their interpretation of the genesis and abrupt end to Ali and Minister Malcolm's bond and how their friendship unraveled as Minister Malcolm's exile from Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam became permanent. Unfortunately, Ali was not able to repair things before Malcolm's 1965 assasination. Last week's segment detailed Ali's transition from Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali after he captured the heavyweight crown. Elijah Muhammad officially changed Ali's name and welcomed him as a member of the NOI. This was simultaneous with Minister Malcolm's permanently dismissal. The authors rely on a litany of FBI documents to reveal the turmoil within the Nation about Minister Malcolm. Smith and Roberts also stress the extraordinary indignation targetting Muhammad Ali once his NOI affiliations became public. White and black people publicly castigated Ali - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called him the "champion of racial segregation." As Ali began to learn more about the global dynamic of Racism, he recalibrated his image and how he could use his stature as a world icon. Meanwhile, Minister Malcolm knew that he was targeted for death. Again, this text should highlight the importance of not name-calling black people. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p
