Malcolm X had an interest in his own people before his Islamic pilgrimage. After that he came to understand the irrelevance of colour. Preaching this put him in opposition to The Nation of Islam, and thus put paid to his life. I predict he would've eventually seen through Islam too. He had a very open intelligence missing from modern politicians. I can imagine he would've ripped right into the RS's handling of the Suarez incident, no punches pulled. Whereas MLK would preach understanding and tolerance (which is why they like to quote him...he's a very safe bet and universally respected by almost everyone).
