White opinions on Malcolm X are irrelevant

"A controversial figure accused of preaching racism and violence" - really? Not sure I see the relevance of what white American racists had to say about Malcolm, nor why it's even in the opening paragraphs of the article. 159.196.64.36 ( talk) 22:24, 1 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Encyclopedias are descriptive and objective, and don't subscribe to the idea that as some kind of rule we cannot document what particular notable human beings have contended about other particular notable human beings. The reader can decide what they want to believe, or how they conduct themselves culturally or politically. Stefen Towers among the rest! GabGruntwerk 16:17, 13 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Islamophobia

'In the 1960s, Malcolm X began to grow disillusioned with the Nation of Islam, as well as with its leader, Elijah Muhammad.'

Why would you use the word disillusioned in this context. It's Islamophobic and has a negative non objective pretext. Please correct, in a informative an objective manner. 2001:1C08:783:E100:2F3D:A2C5:1F95:EED6 ( talk) 22:24, 9 December 2023 (UTC) reply

It's a statement about a subjective feeling that a person objectively had. Healpa12 ( talk) Healpa12 ( talk) 16:04, 13 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Incomplete and generalized sentence

'A controversial figure accused of preaching racism and violence'

This sentence is too blunt, Who accused him? Please give a reference and context? I find this sentence very generalized, incomplete of context. Not objective information but rather an accusation. Who, why, when. I little bit disappointing you missed this. 2001:1C08:783:E100:2F3D:A2C5:1F95:EED6 ( talk) 22:35, 9 December 2023 (UTC) reply
