Malcolm X better than Wright and Obama

People forget. Malcolm was born Malcolm Little and rejected it for Malcolm X. He later changed his racist ways after visiting Mecca and changed his name again to to El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz.

Unlike Wright, Malcolm abandoned racism.

Unlike Obama, Malcolm acknowledge the association names and their meanings and changed his name twice. Obama still holds the Arabic name of Hussein, the Iraq dictator and has made no point to change his name.

Obama has said words have meaning. Well I agree, but with his middle name and the words of his pastor, the words have very very negative meanings.
