Max Blumenthal talks with the daughter of Malcolm X about the Zawahiri tape and Obama's election victory::
MB: Do you think your father would have been surprised by the level of white support for a black candidate like Obama, especially in the South? MS: No, not at all. He had equivalent support as well. MB: He had equivalent support from white people? MS: Yeah. Not all white people are bad. He was not a racist, unlike what the white racist media would say. He had a global outlook just like Barack and Michelle.
Blumenthal says that when he explained the Zawahiri tape to Ms. Shabazz, who had not yet seen it, she "reacted angrily, immediately comparing the Al Qaeda figure to Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam chieftain who was an avowed enemy of her father and has admitted he "may have been complicit" in inciting his murder." Of course Farrakhan endorsed Obama, and was good friends with Rev. Wright, or perhaps that was all a concoction of the white racist media. Read it all here.
