Why Is Malcolm X Unjust

1120 Words5 Pages
Malcolm X’s assassination was highly unjust because it was basically jealousy of others that led to his death. He was a very power, influential civil rights leader, who wanted himself, as well as the rest of the Black community, to be able to speak what they want to speak and to defend themselves, against the whites; however, some people felt that it was right that he should be put to death because it was labeled as a ‘threat’ to the American government. Bang! He did not finish that word of his very important speech that he was trying to deliver to the community. Bang! Bang! That makes two. Bang! That makes four gunshots. But that is not the end of it. Imagine you were in that time period. Imagine you were sitting at home and the news, all…show more content…
He was a very powerful, influential civil rights leader, who wanted himself, as well as the rest of the Black community, to be able to speak what they want to speak and to defend themselves, against the whites; however, some people felt that it was right that he should be put to death because it was labeled as a ‘threat’ to the American government.

So that should not be a good enough reason to take the life of a kindhearted soul. It is actually very disgusting. Towards the end of his life, Malcolm was able to find himself and find out the real, hard truth, instead of what Muhummad had been preaching to him. At this point, he had separated himself from that group because he had realized that he had been brainwashed. His whole alter ego had changed, and instead of being angry, he was more peaceful about fixing one of the worst problems in the United States. (Edward 254) Malcolm would always say that everyone should treat one another like brother and sister, and to not treat them the way you would not like to be treated, and if they should do something to harm their own community, then let those people address him/her. This is proven that Malcolm X would not try to harm anyone in anyway. Malcolm was getting his fame and popularity, but not everyone was actually agreeing with him. (Boelstler
