Do Hollywood stars have a negative impact on society?

ANSWER:

If you are talking about Hollywood, California, that place is just like a town you can get your dream. I live close to that town and my opinion I see Hollywood a place where they can really give our young adult to have a dream like how to become a singer, actress, and a model. But other than that it is up to the people how they can see themselves. Maybe Hollywood might give negative impact to others but it's all about free will.

What challenges did Malcolm X have?

he faced many difficulties throughout his life:

- firstly and mainly racism as it prevented him a great deal throughout his life. It overall was the reason why his family was separated and his father killed. Also on an extra note, if there was no race issue his life would of been completely different from the word go.

- also whilst with the nation of Islam he was prevented from working with other civil rights leaders that he wished to. He had to follow the strict rules of Elijah Mohammad.

- another point which was a challenge was his lack of education. Although he was one of the brightest in his class he gave up when a teacher told him his dream of being a lawyer was unreal. By giving up in education it meant he never had any real chance of making something good of himself and to choose nothing but crime.

Who was Malcolm X wife and kids?

Malcolm's white girlfriend was named Bea Caragulian who was called "Sophie" in the autobiography to protect her identity. She also had a sister named Joyce who was in the same ring of robbers. They did not see each other again after Malcolm went to prison.

update 2011...

I just found out his former girlfriend is still alive. Her name is Beatrice Bazarian who lives in California. She is almost 90. I found info on her at ancestry.com. Her maiden name was Caragulian. I don't know if anyone ever tried to interview her or seek her out, don't know if she declined. She probably doesn't want to be identified or want to known as being associated with Malcolm X.

What are Malcolm X's goals?

Malcolm X's goal as a child was to become a lawyer, but he was told that he could not become one, as he was black. Later on in life, he joined the nation of Islam, and become a spokesman for the organisation. His main beliefs were that black Americans and white Americans should not be intergrated (not live together). He said that he and his followers should obtain equal rights, by any means possible, which implies he meant through violence (although he never said this). Towards the end of his life (after a pilgrimage to Mecca), he began to aim for a more 'together' America, and had aims similar to those of Martin Luther King, Jr.
