Right, I guarantee if the journal had something that promotes your agendas you wouldn't be questioning its validity.Originally Posted by AntonLaVey

But why. I mean the man who made the claims isnt even a witness, he basically says he heard it from someone, who heard it from someone else close to him. I mean its really a bunch of he said she said. That and the fact that the alleged person says they saw it in his day-to-day journal, yet the only person who has it is his daughter. And she says she hasnt let this so called person access to the journal. And the fact that she says her father told her every aspect/everything about himself. So why would he one keep a daily journal and include everything in his life except this one incident? Also it was a personal journal/diary, so why wouldnt he write it? To hide it from himself? And why would he lie/mislead his own children?
Seems like this is nothing more then 1, trying to use the black communities view on homosexuality to tarnish a already downplayed legacy. And 2, being a unknown un-established author, try to sell a book by creating controversy.
But im glad alot of ppl giving the man props and opening up and listening to what mr umar has to say. He is an inciteful and intellectual brother.
No its the fact that there isnt any evidence and its all based on he say she say. Has nothing to do with my agenda. If it was said he was a rapist a murderer a bank robber I still wouldnt buy it based on someone who wasnt a witness to it, yet a 3rd maybe 4th party to something. But I guess this is moreso a generation gap type of thing. i mean your younger and apart of a generation which is based on he say she say, and rumors and gossip and idle chit chat aka tmz, reality tv shows, twitter, facebook, myspace, majority of society and media.
Like I said i could careless what his sexuality is, but just like in any instance, i am not going off something someone told me that someone told them, that they alledged they heard someone witness. I mean apply this to any other instance.
So are you telling me that if someone told you that they heard from someone else who heard something from another person that alledgedly new a person that your girlfriend has cheated on you with, based of this you gonna say oh yea, well it must be true then.
But then again like I said diff. generation, i mean you got homes being broken up, lives being ruined, ppl getting killed/hurt based on third party he say she say stuff based on posting on social media websites, and text messages on cellphones so.......................
And i cant let this oh i hope more and more prominent black men are gay. Like really that statement makes absolutely no sense. ok lets say obama is gay. Ok and why would it matter? what difference would it make in accordance to his job and/or the conditions the u.s. is currently in? You make it seem like if hell micheal jordan, cornell west, hell tavis smiley etc were all homosexuals that all would be right in the world, and somehow it would uplift the black community. And why would it take malcolm being gay for you to welcome him and embrace and acknowledge what the brother had to say?
Like your saying his legacy and lfe and teachings are
