  1. I have read and seen much on this new bio of our dear leader and shaheed, Malcolm (Malik), but this is certainly the first negative review. Have you read the book? I noticed you put "via 'Negative review of Malcolm X bio is rejected'"--does that mean that it was not published, or that the claims of the reviewer were unsubstantiated?

  2. I haven't read the book yet. The "Negative review of Malcolm X bio is rejected" was an article in the Washington Post (the link didn't work before, it should now) which talks about how this scathing review by Evanzz was not published by TheRoot.com. I got the link to the review (which is on the author's blog site) from that article. See:
