Why does YouTube say this video uses copyrighted music? The song they list was NOT used in this video. (Jazzy Things by Martin Eyerer is NOT included in this video.)


When Malcolm Little was a child, his father was killed and his mother sent to a mental institution, leaving Malcolm in foster homes. Malcolm was adopted, but by who? As a young adult, he was convicted and sent to prison. Malcolm became a Muslim and changed his name to Malcolm X. After being released from prison, he traveled the world, visiting countries including Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Ghana, Morocco and Algeria. Malcolm met powerful people along the way, including Fidel Castro of communist Cuba.

How could a young, Muslim man out of prison afford such a lifestyle? How did Malcolm pay for his world tour? Who paid his bills?

Who sponsored Malcolm X?

AKA El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz

  • @ChairmanEckstine Regardless of the audio playback speed, the words were Malcolm's.

    I see your concern about preserving your life. Who preserves their life?

    Consider this: Malcolm X is dead. He was shot and killed at 39. His way does not work.

    Jesus Christ is alive. He was resurrected and will return. The Lord's way works.

    The Muslim religion also states that Jesus (Arabic: Isa) is alive and will return.

    Love one another and let the Lord protect your soul. Peace.

  • He was a successful orator. He was paid for his lectures that he gave at colleges and other places. No, you didn't put words in his mouth per se but you did slow up sentences or certain words to draw emphasis so therefore you put "words" in his mouth. Also, he never spoke of intituating violence but of self defense. You speak of loving one another which I agree with & the more who are & were for it the better but my love for another will not yield my intelligence &/ or life. Thats crazy!

  • @ChairmanEckstine My main question is: Who sponsored Malcolm X? Do you have the answer?

    How did I label "violence" in the video? I did not put words in Malcolm's mouth. He spoke the words about violence.

    The Lord will serve justice against the wicked. But that's his job, not yours or mine.  You and I are commanded by Jesus to love one another. I see you created your YouTube account just today and this video is the only one you commented on. I offer you peace anyway.

  • Your questions can be easily answered if you did some research. He didn't become a minister & immediately start traveling the world. His first pilgrimage to Mecca,he was sponsored. He first met Castro in Harlem. I saw your emphasis on him speaking of self defense which you label as "violence" Im quite certain & you bring up Christianity in the end of the video. Yet if you know your Bible you'll find Jesus sitting on a horse with a sword in his hand.
