Malcolm X’s Grandson Reported Arrested En Route To Iran
Feb 4, 2013 By Ruth Manuel-Logan
Malcolm Shabazz (pictured), the grandson of the late civil rights leader Malcolm X, was arrested by the FBI Monday while en route to Iran to attend a Hollywoodism conference, Press TV reports. The FBI is refusing to provide any details on the arrest and Shabazz’s whereabouts are unknown, Press TV added.
Shabazz, who was born in Paris to Malcolm’s X’s daughter Qubilah, was charged at the age of twelve in the death of his grandmother and X’s widow, Betty Shabazz, back in 1997. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter and arson in connection to her death. He served four years in a juvenile detention center and was released in 2001. Psychiatrists reportedly diagnosed him at the time of the murder with being psychotic and schizophrenic.
Shabazz’s alleged arrest is unfortunately coinciding with this past weekend’s Lifetime premiere of the long-awaited drama “Betty and Coretta,” which peers into the relationship between the wives of civil rights era icons Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The film stars Mary J. Blige as Betty Shabazz and Angela Bassett as Coretta Scott King. Feb. 21 marks the commemoration of Malcolm X’s death. He was 39-years-old.
Shabazz, who is currently a student at New York City’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice, is also said to be writing his biography.

As I read this, I can't help but think of the scene from "Don't Be A Menace To South Central..." when the white assassin shoots the convenience store owners, and then takes out a list of famous black celebrities that he marks off as "killed."

This murderous little bastard poured gasoline on his grandmother while she was sleeping and set her afire. No matter. In your tiny brain he's still some kind of hero because he's Malcolm's grandson.
ReplyDeleteAnd this "Black Fist Organization."
Besides you and your ten cats, who else is in it?
To Gary Lloyd,
ReplyDeleteI reprinted a national news story about Min. Malcolm X's grandson. Where within this story do you see any commentary from myself and an even bigger question is where within this story did you read that I said "he's some kind of hero because he's Malcolm X's grandson"?
Uh, you DON'T! Because I DIDN'T!
As far as how many members are in this organization thanks for your concern but none of your fucking business.
Thank you for your comment "Gary Lloyd" and Thank You For Reading The Black Fist Blog "Gary Lloyd".
