Your own reference refutes your claim. From the Wikipedia article: "In 1965, after breaking with the Nation of Islam and denouncing its separatist doctrine, Malcolm X told his followers that the Nation of Islam under Elijah Muhammad had made agreements with the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux Klan that 'were not in the interest of Negros.'"

OK, but you don't object the supremacist part? Good, we are on the same page. Now, notice the "after break-up" part. Have a look at this photo: http://www.nationalgalleries.org/collection/online_az/4:322/result/0/63200?initial=A&artistId=1693&artistName=Eve%20Arnold&submit=1 http://www.nationalgalleries.org/collection/online_az/4:322/... She was doing an essay on Malcolm X, these fellas attended one of his conventions. The one in the middle threatened to make a lantern out of her (Arnold is Jewish). In her later interviews she mentioned that many people get really upset when they see this photo, and exhibition curators often objected to its inclusion.

  OK, but you don't object the supremacist part? Good, we are on the same page. Um ... She was doing an essay on Malcolm X, these fellas attended one of his conventions. While remaining agnostic to your point, it's troubling that you keep citing references that don't support it. The caption on that photo makes no reference to these Nazis being in attendance at a Malcolm X rally.

    I read it in Arnold's interview, years ago in a print magazine. But I now took an effort to find a reference for you: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/features/magnums-eve-arnold-its-all-about-eve-917070.html http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/features... Grep the text for "Rockwell". Rockwell was listening to a speech by Malcolm X – the Nazis and Black Muslims had formed an alliance – and this was the real reason Arnold was there. So as you see my initial point stands. A person who is a supremacist and hangs out with Nazis is a bad role model for children. Would you agree?
