    1999

    Life is full of surprises. I am pleasantly surprised by the new U. S postage stamp that honors Malcolm X/El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz. Afrocentric Americans are rarely revered so. Though many more should be.

    Malcolm deserves this reverence. He earned it as a global ambassador for racial and economic revolution. Malcolm was a proud Pan-African American. This new American symbol will lend balance and respect to other symbols which have been bastardized.

    The symbolic film “X” was both parody and history. Malcolm’s biography was grossly abbreviated by director Spike Lee’s signature animation. Denzel Washington’s acting gifts added classic magic to this severely flawed film.

    Those symbolic Neo-Nazi fashioned T-shirts, that racist Georgians love to don, are emblazoned proof of their beloved racist Georgia state flag, beneath logos which scream: “YOU WEAR YOUR X AND I WILL WEAR MINE!”. Perhaps this stamp will inspire a few fools to wear their T-shirts inside a library where they might research Malcolm and his sane and superior X.

    I hope this stamp will move a nation beyond slander to research. Maybe more people will now choose to really know Malcolm’s legacy. They may come to understand the true meaning of his healing X. One which is completely unrelated to the wounding X on the bigoted bright red face of Georgia’s racist flag.

    Malcolm adopted his X as an act of reclamation. It was a protest of the rapes of his ancestors. It was embraced to symbolically rectify the annihilation of his African heritage and native family name. The Georgia flag’s X symbolizes the very same racist evils which Malcolm’s X was destined to defy.

    I know that Malcolm deserves this postal honor. I think he would also be surprised and amused by this stamp. Just as Malcolm now holds a special place at the post office, he will always hold a special place in my heart.

    I love Malcolm for many reasons… He refused to be passive when being so was even more encouraged and rewarded than it is now. Malcolm was carnally wise. He was sexually secure with all sexualities. He chose to grow beyond a tough hustler to become a tender husband. He conquered his own eurocentrism and colorism as he became an afrocentric Pan-African. He refused to gaybash in his autobiography. He bravely battled his own sexism as he loved and cherished the budding feminist Dr. Betty Shabazz. And, one of his best friends was a lesbian.

    Malcolm chose to seek superior educations in arenas where most seek only superior criminality. He chose to love an ebony black queen while his renowned peers were typically wooing and wedding the whitest women they could find. He adored his black baby girls and never whined about not having a son as most sexist fathers do.

    Malcolm X would refuse to pretend that the blackish Hobama was not a corporate green “house nigger”!!!. He would refuse to be silent about Hobama’s rabidly elitist abuses of poor people. He would never be silent about how Hobama incessantly betrays blacks who masochistically and suicidally adore him.

    Malcolm will always be my most regal King. He will be my ideal leader forever. The U.S. government slandered and stalked Malcolm while he lived. Now that he has gone to a superior place, the least the U. S. can do is pay him some belated respect. The USPS owes us all this one...
