Four men who were considered racial agitators back in the 1960s had assassination attempts made upon them. Three were successful.

Is there a pattern here?

Do you think there was a conspiracy to silence these men?

Malcolm X, assassinated February 21, 1965 New York City NY

George Lincoln Rockwell, assassinated August 25, 1967 Arlington VA

Martin Luther King, assassinated April 4, 1968 Memphis TN

George C. Wallace, attempted assassination May 15, 1972 Laural MD

This is just a lame attempt by MaGZ to put Rockwell in the same category as King.

Sorry Nazi apologist, you failed.
 
The conspiracy to assasinate X was most likely the Nation of Islam. But then you probably wouldn't want to look in to that now that they're twoofers.
 
Whilst these were political, not racially motivated, I think these are a few assassinations you should examine Magz:-

Rafik Hariri

Pierre Gemayel

Alexander Litvenenko

Anna Politkovskaya

All of which are unsolved murders, all of which appear to have been government conspiracies...

There were more than those. You should really do more research or are you just looking at the ones that fit a pattern you were told about?
 
I don't know about you, but I'm just shocked as all hell that MaGZ didn't try to argue that MLK was downed on that balcony by missile fragments from the Chinese Silkworm that was fired by Jack Ruby that was intended for Sirhan Sirhan.

Do you know anything about the history of racial "unrest" (I hate that term) in the US during that era? ANYTHING?

The opening sentence of your post makes you sound like the stereotypical first-year photography student who thinks he's the first guy ever to stumble upon the Rule of Thirds.

To be fair, you can't prove that's not what happened to Darrell Abbott. ;) I mean, just look at your avatar. His hair is definitely moving faster than the speed of gravity.
 
Wow, a number of civil rights activists who stood up and made a lot of noise at a time when simply being black and breathing was an excuse for a lynching in some peoples eyes, all got killed or attempts were made on them. Coincidence or just Dense?

one of my friends was at that show Dime got shot at, and he can vouch that there were NO Chinese Silkworm Missiles used at the Alrose Villa that night.

And to be fair, Dime's riffs DID show up on the seismograph :D

You did notice he included George Lincoln Rockwell, founder of the American Nazi Party?

Don’t you think Rockwell and Malcolm X could be considered comparable?

No, one was standing up for equal rights for all regardless of race, the other was for rights being given on a basis of one race being superior to the others.

Wrong.

The Nation of Islam was just as racist and exclusive as the American Nazi Party. One could argue they were mirror images of each other.
 
Mods, I think this thread should be moved to the politics forum.

You did know that Malcolm X broke with the NOI because he disagreed with their leaderships' antics and politics? You do also know that some people suspect the NOI was behind his assassination and even if they weren't, that they had previously attempted to have him killed?
