OBAMA, MALCOLM X, and MICHELLE’S RED & BLACK DRESS
Posted By sandstone on January 5, 2009
I continue to be surprised by what fires people’s imaginations and passions. I have blogged about a wide variety of issues and topics, some serious, some not so much. The post that continues to draw the most interest is the one on Michelle Obama’s decision to wear that red & black dress with the X in the front … the decision to dress her entire family in those colors the night Barack won the 2008 election for president. You can read about it here.
My visceral reaction to the pictures each and every time I view them has not abated when seen through the prism of rebellion or defiance. But what if there was another way of viewing these pictures of the Obama’s all dressed up in red and black? What if the garb worn by the Obama’s was a silent tribute to Barack’s real father, Malcolm X?
I know anyone that has followed this blog and my positions on BHO’s ineligibility to hold the office of POTUS will find the following to be surprising. If the truth be known, I would be relieved to find out Obama’s real father is Malcolm X. Why? Because the alternative is many times worse.
Having a fraud become president is unthinkable. Having a man who is knowingly ineligible to hold the office because he never met the eligibility requirements as detailed in the Constitution will harm this country in ways that cannot tolerated. The consequences are far reaching and potentially devastating.
The evidence against his being eligible to hold the office of POTUS continues to accumulate on a daily basis. Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, aka Barry Dunham is not a “natural born citizen” regardless if he was born in Hawaii (as he alleges) or he was born in Kenya which multiple lawsuits contend and which his paternal grandmother say is the truth.
The story Team Obama continues to foist on the world is that his father, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., was a Kenyan. His father was also British citizen thus making Barry a British citizen as well, because his citizenship would have been determined by the father’s nationality. Since Barack’s mother was 17 and underage at the time of his birth, her nationality was moot. Like it or not, that was the law of the land in 1961. Even if his mother’s age could be discounted, because Barack would have held a dual citizenship at the time of birth, he would still be ineligible. Complicating all of this, is his mother’s second marriage to Lolo Soetoro and Barack’s adoption by his step-father. Lolo was Indonesian; now we’ve got yet a third country that impacts on Barry’s citizenship.
What if this entire story isn’t true and what does this have to do with Michelle Obama’s red & black dress, the one she worn in Grant Park the night Barack became the President Elect? Well, plenty if I’m right.
The supreme irony is that if Malcolm X is Obama’s father then Obama meets the eligibility requirements of the Constitution! Malcolm X was a natural born citizen thus making Barack (Barry?) a natural born citizen. The worst case scenario is that if Barack were born in Kenya he would face (essentially) the same issues that John McCain faced! But back to Michelle’s red & black dress.
I know I am not the first to suggest that Obama’s father may be Malcolm X. This connection has been brought up before at Atlas Shrugs, Oil for Immigration, and on Polarik’s site using (as best I can determine) information that originated with Israel Insider. Other than idle curiosity, there hasn’t been much else to tie Obama to Malcolm. But then we’ve got that image of Obama’s in Grant Park, the red and black dress and that X that hits you between the eyes . . . an insult to the senses because the dress is so entirely out of place. It hard not to shout, “America’s next First Family shouldn’t be dressed these colors of defiance! Where are the various shades of red, white, and blue?”
Then suddenly it smacks you in the face . . . that X is for Malcolm. That X on the front of Michelle’s dress and those colors are for Malcolm. What other reason can there be? Sudden bad taste or a horrendous lack of sensitivity to the historical significance of the colors chosen for the very first photos of the Obamas’? In a campaign this carefully orchestrated and staged with the deliberate associations to the Kennedy’s how does it suddenly become feasible that a faux pas of this magnitude would be allowed?
Let’s cobble a few more interesting notes about Malcolm’s name.
In 1952, after he was released from prison, Malcolm changed his last name from Little toX, a designation that denotes “a certain mystery, a certain possibility of power in the eyes of one’s peers and one’s enemies …The ‘X’; announced what you had been and what you had become: Ex-smoker, Ex-drinker, Ex-Christian, Ex-slave.” and is also intended as a rejection of slave names.
X is also a brand that many slaves received on their upper arms. Though likely the most famous Black Muslim to change his name to X, Malcolm was one of many who eventually adopted this practice.
“He was tall and handsome and when he walked into a room, he took it over. These things were important. And when he spoke, he could talk our talk in a way that made people understand right off.” Remind you of anyone? Barack, perhaps?
If you are under 30 you probably have very little idea who Malcolm X was. For more complete understanding of his life see additional video here.
Make no mistake the 60′s were a violent time. The black revolution was beginning . . . this was a time of conflict where most black leaders were looked at in a negative manner. Malcolm X, although very controversial, was not an extremist like Farrakhan was and remains to this day. Malcolm could rightly be called an extremist initially, but he came to believe that the races could live and work together.
Malcolm left the Nation of Islam as a matter of principle. It cost him his life.

Like many of us who change and grow into maturity, Malcolm at the end of his life was much different than the Malcolm of his youth. During this time, Malcolm became a guest of Muhammed Faisal (son of then Prince Faisal), and Malcolm made a pilgrimage to Mecca, an event that changed his life. He believed, through Muslim teachings, that all racial barriers could be overcome.
Malcolm returned from Mecca a Sunni Muslim, a changed man. He also bore a new name, El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz. This is from Lessons from Malcolm X
Below is an excerpt of a powerful speech Malcolm gave upon his return:
“Human rights are something you were born with?.In the past, yes I have made sweeping indictments of all white people. I will never be guilty of that again (emphasis mine) as I know now that some white people are truly sincere, that some truly are capable of being brotherly toward a black man…Since I learned the truth in Mecca, my dearest friends have come to include all kinds, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Agnostics, even Atheists My friends today are black, brown, red, yellow and white While in Mecca, for the first time in my life, I could call a man with blond hair and blue eyes my brother.”
Ok, so what’s the truth? Is Malcolm X or Barack Hussein Obama Sr. BHO’s father? I don’t know. Is Barack really a Muslim . . . the Freudian slip with George Stephanopoulos indicates he is. I really don’t know. There is a mountain of compelling evidence that supports several positions on Barack’s birth father and his religion.
Here’s what I do know. Stanley Ann Dunham was a complicated woman, a woman with a past more interesting than what we’ve been led to believe, regardless who Barack’s father really is. This is a family whose lives are clothed in secrets.
Something else I know is that this is a tragedy of epic proportions if Malcolm X really was BHO’s father. Imagine having to deny your real identity on a daily basis because somewhere along a line a decision was made that it was better to be known as the “son” of Barack Obama Sr. than to acknowledge that you are the son of Malcolm X.
In the desire to become president, was this denial born out of expediency because Malcolm X was a Muslim. America might tolerate a multi-cultural man as president . . . but after 9/11 does anyone think a Muslim would have any chance at the office? Again, I don’t know. I do know that the truth has a way of always coming out . . . that secrets kept in the dark have a way of finding the light of day.

Codified. You’re from England? Somewhere in the UK? Then noone gives a crapola what you think – not one American gives a shit about Brit Pukes.
so, what begs to be asked… where was Ann Dunham in early Nov 1960 Vs Malcolm X? and did they have an opportunity to cross paths?
I just happened across your comment.
I don’t know where Ann Dunham was etc. but it has been suggested that it is possible that BHO’s granny is really his mother and Ann was really his sister. As always, the conjecture goes on because BHO won’t release the docs that would end the speculation.
Besides what really counts is his citizenship status on the day he was born … his father was a British national … in order to qualify as a natural born citizen BOTH parents have to be U.S. citizens … BHO is automatically disqualified to be POTUS.
Slight discrepancy in the argument if I may.
To understand Michelle Obama’s choice of outfit, i suggest you look outside of fantasy and ask anybody who is influential in fashion. They will explain to you, the style and cut of dress is a tradition African style…they essentially broke this ridiculous narrow minded mould of having to be white and no clear ethnic roots to enter the White House. More importantly, the dress worn by women explains their desire to fight against something… and the pattern? Well it was the same pattern as the black widow spider.
Now I have heard some incredulous things coming out of uneducated hillbilly america. Fortunately living in England I am brought up to educate myself freely, and know that just by spouting “we are the land of the free” or worse “freedom of expression/ to carry arms” does not mean our minds are actually open. Anyway rant over. MO defying her fears of being a black widow. Quite simple – she’s not from satan, not a communist or the Vietcong or related to Osama bin Laden…or whichever enemy you’ve created this year.
As for the resemblance to Malcolm X? sure thing. Of course you’re not being degratory about it, because you’re talking about citizenship? If the citizenship issue was out of the question, i’m pretty sure i’d be reading about how BO is ready to hand over America to the black folks Malcolm X embraced the violence idiot white america gave to another race of people…and white folk couldnt take it. Feeling helpless and belittled doesn’t run well for them, thays why they’re so eager to think up of new ways to do it to another race.
Oh. How could BO get away with lying to your institution? I mean the CIA cause terrorism around the world globally and they manage to convince you, they4re you protectors… explain to me how BO got past their interrogation?
I’ve decided to leave this comment even though it is a silly ass comment on multiple levels. Your thought processes are clearly limited, dulled, and rudimentary at best. Might I suggest that your “self education” leaves much to be desired.
For the record this “uneducated hillbilly” American is a Yankee from New England … a holder of two college degrees … My problems with Barack have not one whit to do with the color of his skin. My admiration of Malcolm X has to do with this man’s considerable integrity . . . he did, after all, lay down his life for what he believed in.
Your self education doesn’t seem to be working well. Do you have a dictionary or spellcheck? Use them.

Commentary on University Emails:
For the BHO II Hawaiian Aug 4 1961 COLB to be accurate the following improbable events needed to occur:
1 month after starting classes, Stanley Ann Dunham, Barack’s mom, at age 17, got pregnant by the only black African man on the entire chain of Hawaiian islands.
2 months after getting pregnant, she drops out of college.
3 months after getting pregnant, she marries BHO Sr.
10 months after her first day at the U of HI, she delivers BHO II and immediately leaves her parents, her new husband, and her home, to fly alone with a newborn 2800 miles to Seattle to start college at the U of W.
Stanley Ann Dunham does not return to Hawaii until AFTER BHO Sr left the islands for Harvard.
This is an implausible series of events made even more nefarious because Obama II in his 2 bio books never mentions his mom left Hawaii when she was married to BHO Sr, nor does he mention she was in Washington State during this time.
Yes, the resemblance is shocking. And yes, the idea of such a scheme is completely congruent with ’60s ideology. Of course, I am neutral as to all this. But I can’t argue that point.
I can’t remember when, sometime last September maybe, I spend a whole evening (with anti-nausea medicine near by) watching obambi and malcolm x vidios side-by-side as well as pictures.
The resemblance is SHOCKING to me! Even upon scrolling down your page and seeing the comparison I get a jolt at the uncanny even frightening resemblance.
I have said for at least a year-and-a-half, maybe even two years now that this is the “Manchurian Candidate”. Recalling the 60′s and the times it would not be far-fetched to think that Malcolm and his ilk would hatch a plot to make a half-black, half-white “every-man” to execute their ambitions from the grave.
Thank you for the clarification. Indeed, red and black can signify protest, anger, mourning, passion: Not exactly the colors one would pick for such a milestone and nationally-televised event. To tell the truth, I was a bit perplexed at the time, and then told myself it might just be “the new thing”. Perhaps the color choice and the “X” were subconsciously intended, while the conscious mind rationalized it as dramatic or avant garde. It is interesting to think that Malcolm X may be linked to this presidency; the resemblance is uncanny. Thank you for your remarks.
SMK:
Thanks for taking the time to read the entire post.
There are many subtitles and nuances the average reader (skimmer) usually misses. It is indeed, sad that Malcolm could be BHO’s father, a father he has chosen to distance himself from and deny.
As for the red & black colors, as my first post on this topic alluded to, they may represent protest colors. Colors can make powerful statement.
As an aside, since the Obama’s have done nothing to squelch a Kennedy family comparison, it should come as no surprise, that when they don’t meet that standard that people would notice.
Jackie, was a style icon. She would never have made the mistake (intentional or not) that Michelle made.
This is an old post, but I have just heard about this connection with Malcolm X and am intrigued. It would certainly prove his natural citizenship. And I too do not find it in any way a negative ( the possible biological father/son relationship); on the contrary, I find it profound, and full of all kinds of meaning , historical and cultural. The resemblance is striking, and goes far beyond the glasses and smiling and being African. The only thing I find a bit “off” is the ‘X’ on the dress, and the colors. The colors are modern (people wear black to weddings now) and the daughters needed to match their mother’s dress. The X never struck me; it is the new cumberbune effect.
To GodAlways: UR a jerk
To Webber: It is clear you did not read the entire post, if you did you would have found a positive connection between Obama and Malcolm. BTW, fool, U can address me as Ms.
To Ashley: The comparison to Malcolm X was not pejorative. In fact, had you read the post in its entity you would have found that I find Malcolm a man of integrity, unlike Obama the fraud and Usurper.
Malcolm said: “Since I learned the truth in Mecca, my dearest friends have come to include all kinds, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Agnostics, even Atheists My friends today are black, brown, red, yellow and white While in Mecca, for the first time in my life, I could call a man with blond hair and blue eyes my brother.”
The pity is, if Obama really is Malcolm’s son, rather than embrace one of the great civil rights leaders of the 60′s, he dissed him . . . choosing instead to continue the fairytale spun by his mother Stanley Ann. Why?
“In the desire to become president, was this denial born out of expediency because Malcolm X was a Muslim. America might tolerate a multi-cultural man as president . . . but after 9/11 does anyone think a Muslim would have any chance at the office?”
Amen Sports….When Malcolm saw that hate on any side would always lead to more hate and began his new role as peacemaker, he was killed. He stopped judging by religion and race and began to see the person and the heart. Some of these morons on here don’t know jackshit about the man or the history of this nation. Perhaps when all hell breaks loose upon them they might notice but I doubt it.
The comparison photos were the biggest giveaway that this is a satirical site! Reasonably funny, though really, the photos are just a trifle too much gilding for the lily. They are both black and wear glasses! Uh – HUH! Father and SOn.. and for double impact — they both smile!! Man, how come it took solong for the world to wake up? Heh. YOu have a future in comedy, Sir.
I see that posts that are not agreed with by the author of this page are deleted. Freedom of speech is an American belief that we spend our whole lives knowing, and respecting. So the author of this page gets to say what he “thinks” but no one else has the “freedom of speech” to say anything else. My original post was,
How can you just say malcolm x is barack obamas father with no proof at all. Theres no proof that his mother even met malcolm x. If i was to say that John Mcains real father was Adolf Hitler, my arguement would carry just as much weight as this outlandish accusation by the author of this page. (get me some proof) I look a lot like a young goldie hawn, that doesnt mean shes my mother!
And really, how dare you attack this mans whole family. The reason that the terrorists hate us is because we are greedy, sex driven, fat, lazy, rude, pig headed and most of all INTOLERANT people. Being muslim is NOT A CRIME. There are over a billion muslims on this earth who are peaceful loving people with families and jobs and homes and do all the things that good “christian” families do.I hope obama is a muslim so that he can bridge the divide between our closed minded egotistical selves and other countries and religions. We have such a bad standing in the world right now that we need someone to carry our message of peace to them. Obama is the man to do it. I love his shade.
By the way, Obama is doing a hell of a job so far. Way to go! I am a great american, and I love my country. I love my race. I love my religion. I love my fellow countrymen. You should try it…
What a total imbecile!!!! Go back and read the article once more and try to concentrate unless you are too “greedy, sex driven, fat, lazy, rude, pig headed and most of all INTOLERANT” . NO ONE has declared for a fact that Obama was sired by Malcolm X. There are many sites investigating the possibility and giving food for thought, which is also “freedom of speech” you harp on in a very hypocritical manner. You get up on your silly little offended soapbox to whine and then you turn around and do the exact same thing you ‘preach’ against.
Message of peace????? You dimwitted fool. You come on here ranting and raving like a rabid dog when everyone fails to see things your way and have the gaul to clamor for your message of peace to be taken anywhere!? People like you are the problem and never will be the messengers of peace so you wouldn’t know one if you ran head first into a crowd of them.
How dare YOU to “how dare anyone”. What are you going to do, drag your ‘look at me soapbox’ back out and do another round of “I love my country. I love my race. I love my religion. I love my fellow countrymen”? Where is my violin and hanky? You love yourself and are probably the only person who does. You will do much more good if you take that soapbox and climb under it. Abraham Lincoln once said “It is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt”. He most certainly had people such as yourself in mind.
U R a White, RACIST HAAAAAAATER!!!!!
You must be a christian. It is easy to tell by the venomous hissing in the background. BTW, god just told me he can’t stand people like you and has nothing to do with you. I don’t know what color you are but hate comes in every shade so thanks for letting us know what a simple minded vindictive moron you are.
CalifGirlInMaine
I think you misread the post.
I was talking about Obama’s mother. “Since Barack’s mother was 17 and underage at the time of his birth, her nationality was moot.”
But, BTW, even with the discovery of the divorce papers, it doesn’t mean or prove Obama Sr. was Obama’s father. All it proves is that the sham and fictional story Obama’s mother told him about his early life continued into the divorce.
Let’s be honest, Obama’s mother was “free spirit” (I’m being kind) a woman that many would consider had lived a checkered past. It wouldn’t be the first time a woman lied about a birth father to her offspring. It also wouldn’t be the first time a man decided to go along with the sham. Just saw a story on Lifetime with that scenario.
I have a family member who lied to her child and all the family members on both sides about who her daughter’s
father was. I’m not sure if the “father” knew or not, but when they divorced he paid child support for a child that wasn’t his.
All the divorce papers prove is that Stanley Ann divorced Obama Sr. that there was one child under age and one child over 18yrs. They don’t prove parentage.
At this point, the only thing I will believe is a DNA test because those results can’t be messed with. The reporting of the results can be messed with, but that’s a different story!
In reality, it is moot who Obama’s biological father is. With the “discovery” of his parents’ divorce papers, we now have proof that his parents were married, that his legal father is Barack Obama I, and that Obama II consequently inherited British citizenship at birth — he is not a natural born U.S. citizen.
