INTRODUCTION

His grandmother, Betty Shabazz, widow of Malcolm X, was killed in a fire he started 11 years ago. He was 12 years old. He had been shuttled in and out of correctional institutions until his release from Attica Prison in February 2007. Now MALCOLM SHABAZZ, 24, is on a mission: to clear his name, stay out of jail and rise from the ashes of his past.

During the course of a long-standing exclusive correspondence with Aliya S. King for NewsOne and GIANT magazine, Malcolm spoke candidly and introspectively about a checkered childhood, an unstable family life, and the burden of being the sole male heir to an icon whose life and legacy have transformed millions of lives.

The following are woven excerpts from hours of conversation with Shabazz:

People often describe me as troubled. I’m not going to say that I’m not. But I’m not crazy. I have troubles. A lot of us do. But you need to understand where I’m coming from and why I am the way I am. Considering what I’ve been through, it’s a miracle that I’ve been able to hold it together. I’m just trying to find my way. [I’ve read newspaper stories about me that] say, “Experts testify [that boy] is psychotic.” The way they describe me is wrong — bi-polar, depression, pyro, whatever. I know I’m not at all. Some of the things I’ve been through, the average person would have cracked.

All my life, I’ve had [moments where] I’ve lived in the lap of luxury in the Trump Towers and not wanted for a single thing. And the very next day I’m [living in] a slum in a gang-infested Philly neighborhood, eating fried dough three times a day. One minute, I’m in a situation with structure and discipline. The next minute I’m running the streets with no supervision at all. One of my aunts has a friend who is very devoted to his children. I was hanging out with them one day and all he talked about was [their] schedule and sports and taking his kids here and there. I wish I had that. I wish I had someone whose purpose in life was to take care of me. That’s how white people do it. They plan for [their] kids. We don’t. That’s cause we don’t plan our kids. I wasn’t planned.

Malcolm Lateef Shabazz was born in Paris, France in 1984. His mother is Qubilah Shabazz, the second of Malcolm X’s six daughters. She was only four years old when her father was killed right in front of her at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem. According to her son, Qubilah grew up loving nature and being by herself. When she was still a young girl, she chose to become a Quaker. She later attended Princeton University, but left before graduating. As she told the Minneapolis Star Tribune in a 1995 interview: “I was under a lot of social pressure, largely due to who I was. I did not fit the view of who I was supposed to be. I didn’t arrive on campus with combat boots and a beret, and I didn’t speak Swahili.” After leaving Princeton, Qubilah traveled to Paris, where she began studying at the Sorbonne. It was here that she met Malcolm’s father, an Algerian. To this day, her son says he has never met his biological father.

I am [my grandfather’s] first male heir, his first grandson. [I’ve read and been told that] he always wanted a son. No boys in the Shabazz family until me. I used to think [Malcolm X] was my father. My mother told me that. I would ask and she would show me pictures of her father and tell me it was my father. I can’t talk to her about him. Nothing in-depth. She acts like she doesn’t know about him. She was there. She was four years old and sitting right there [when he was killed]. I don’t think she’s ever recovered from that.

CHILDHOOD

Qubilah left Paris when Malcolm was still very young and moved back to the U.S. He remembers them moving around a lot, living in such places as Los Angeles and Brooklyn. His mother reportedly took odd jobs at places like Denny’s to earn enough to get by.

How do you [fill out an application at] Denny’s and put down Princeton and the Sorbonne as your education? I felt like she was better than that. And I didn’t like seeing [her work those kinds of jobs.] When I was 3 or 4, we lived in California. I used to run away from home. My mother drank and she would be asleep and I would be unsupervised. [According to various news reports, Qubilah Shabazz has had issues with alcohol and mental illness in the past.] I was very adventurous [so] I would walk up [and down] the street. It would end with the police bringing me home. One day I walked to my day care center [which was] miles away. One day I got on the bus and just hung out away from home and no one said a word. Whole day goes by before anyone stopped me. [My mom] loves me. I’m sure of that. Everyone is not meant to be a parent. She didn’t hug me. She’s just not that kind of person. It used to make me upset and angry [when I was younger].

After California, Malcolm moved to Philadelphia where he lived with his great-grandmother, Madeline Sandlin, the stepmother of his grandmother Betty Shabazz.

She’s a very strong woman. Native American—very strong and stern and strict. She [lived] in North Philly. [Her neighborhood] was so rough. It was so bad, I couldn’t go outside [and] play. It was like being behind bars. I started school at [a private school outside of Philadelphia]. I went to kindergarten and first grade. These kids were rich. [The bus] wouldn’t go to my house. [It] would go to the corner. [The kids] would say, “You live here?” This [white] girl called me a nigger [one time on the school bus]. I didn’t even know what it meant. I [just] knew it was something bad. I wanted to be white. They seemed happy, like they had everything they needed. White was equal to happy and rich. And black [was] just the opposite.

My aunt Attallah was visiting [in Philly] one day. I was looking at a magazine and [there was a picture] of a white boy in a suit. [I took the magazine to my aunt] and I said “I wish I was white like this white boy right here.” She said, “Why would you say that?”

My great-grandmother couldn’t take care of me forever. I ended up in [upstate] New York living with my teacher for second grade [at the school I was enrolled in]. I liked her–I was calling her “Mom.” She had a 16-year-old daughter. I had a pet hamster [and] a bike. I [was] on the Little League team, I [went to] church every Sunday. I had a crush on a white girl named Heidi. I had stability, something I never had before and I liked it a lot. I was the only black kid in the entire school but [I had] a lot of kids to play with. [My aunt] came to pick me up for the summer and I think she didn’t like [the situation]. I was happy and taken care of, but I don’t think she liked it. She [took me] for the summer [and] as it got closer to September I [kept] asking [if I was going back to Kingston]. She kept saying yeah, but I never went back.

ADOLESCENCE

As Malcolm tells it, he led a nomadic childhood, living at different times with his mother, his grandmother and his aunts.

I was always happiest around my aunt Ilyasah. She always smelled good. I loved staying at her house because she’d always have a tidy home. I loved being with her. She was always funny. One day we were on [an] elevator and I was about to throw up. She cupped her hands up to my mouth like she was going to catch it. When we got off the elevator, I threw up everywhere, all over the floor, all over her hands, but she kept her hands there. That gesture showed how much she felt about me. [It] made an impression on me. I said back then [that] if I ever had a daughter, I would name her after Ilyasah.

[As for] my grandmother, I never saw her relax. She was speaking at colleges [and] going overseas. On vacation, she would take me to a hotel to swim and she would sit there with books and paper. I never saw anyone work that hard. That’s why I couldn’t live there full time. All [of] my aunts [also] worked a lot [so] I had to shuttle around. That was taught with school. My grades ended up being really poor even though the work was not hard. I wasn’t challenged and the teachers couldn’t make the connection because I was all over the place.

I started driving when I was 9. I would watch my aunt [Check with writer to determine which aunt] and memorize [each step]. One day, early in the morning I took [her] keys. I had difficulty starting [the car] at first, [but] I drove to school [and] parked [and] went to school like it was nothing. My aunt found out and came to school. They didn’t even believe her, but it was true. My mother put me in a mental institution after that. She was really angry. I didn’t belong there. I wasn’t crazy. I had done something wrong and needed discipline. But not [being sent] to a hospital.

[At the hospital] they start asking me all these questions. [Stuff like] Do you hear voices? I was into Marvel comic books at the time. There were two characters I liked, Mister Sinister [from the X-Men] and the Human Torch. [So] I was like, “Yeah, here’s my friend that told me to do it.” I just picked them out randomly and drew pictures of them. But I had no idea it would follow me that way it did. I was just making it all up. One time, my aunt came to visit me. She said “You know you don’t hear voices. You need to stop.” And I did. In my experiences, [the doctors] want to find something wrong with you. That’s how they get paid. When I [was in] jail, they said I was depressed and anti-social. I was in jail. I’m in solitary confinement. They gotta say something [is wrong with you].

As Malcolm remembers it, after he was discharged from the hospital, he and his mother moved to Minneapolis, where Qubilah had reconnected with an old schoolmate named Michael Fitzpatrick.

She said she was going for a fresh start and I was excited too. First we [stayed] in a hotel. They would meet there and talk. I heard them talking about Farrakhan. It stayed in my mind, but I didn’t really know what they were talking about. I found out later that there were cameras everywhere because there were federal agents watching my mom.

According to published news reports, Fitzpatrick was an FBI informant who helped the agency gather information about an assassination plot against Louis Farrakhan. Qubilah was arrested and charged with plotting to hire a hit man to kill the Nation of Islam leader, who she reportedly believed to have played a part in her father’s death. After his mother was arrested, Malcolm was sent to live in a group home and remembers being transferred to foster parents who he claims wanted to adopt him until they learned who his mother was. Qubilah was later cleared of the charges against her, but Malcolm says he didn’t see her again for almost two years, at which point she had resettled in San Antonio, Texas.

I went to a boarding school in Connecticut for a while. I lasted there about a month. They went in my property and found a laptop computer that belonged to one of the students on another campus. And they had this kid with a slash in his coat and he said I stabbed him. None of that happened, but my grandmother came and got me out of there. I know she was upset, but we never talked about it. That’s how I ended up back in Philadelphia. [When] I was 11, [I] had a fight with a 16-year-old kid. I’m going in so hard, my body goes numb and I couldn’t even pick up my arms anymore. I won that fight and [afterwards] I would come out [of my house] and people were different. [They said] “Don’t mess with him, he’s crazy.” [But] I wasn’t crazy. I was just scared. I had to adapt to survive.

[My grandmother] didn’t know the extent of what I was going through. I told her, but I don’t think she believed it. Malcolm was eventually reunited with his mother in San Antonio, where she reportedly worked for a radio station owned by Percy Sutton, who was Malcolm X’s attorney before he was killed. She also had a new boyfriend, who Malcolm liked right away.

He would give me hundred dollar bills [for no reason]. And he let me drive his car. We lived in a [nice apartment] with a balcony and a Jacuzzi. My mom was working at the radio station [and I was going to a] private school. We lived in a Mexican neighborhood and everyone made a big deal that I was from New York. [When you're from New York] all the girls like you [and] all the dudes hate on you. I got kicked out because my mom started drinking again. [And] her boyfriend ended up going to jail for an attempted murder [charge]. [Suddenly,] there was no food in the house. She’s not taking me to school [so] I’m falling behind. She wouldn’t get up to take me to school and I started falling behind. [One morning,] I woke her up to tell her to take me to school. She got belligerent. She tried to bite me. And I pushed her. She said I hit her, but I didn’t. She put me in a mental hospital for two weeks.

After that incident, Malcolm says he was sent back to New York, even though he wanted to stay with his mother.

All my life, I had been shuttled back and forth, living with this [person] or that [person], never knowing where I was going to lay my head or wake up. I was so sick of it. I wanted to be back with my mom. [The day I came back to New York] it was cold and rainy. My grandmother came to pick me up [at the airport]. I had the big skater pants [on] and the earring. My grandmother said, “Can we please get you to stop wearing those pants?” [After that] I started acting out. I was doing a lot of things–I was stealing money from my aunts to save up to buy a ticket [back to Texas].

THE DEATH OF BETTY SHABAZZ

In the middle of the night on July 1, 1997, authorities responded to a fire at Betty Shabazz’s residence in Yonkers, New York. According to reports, Malcolm X’s widow sustained burns over 80% of her body. Her grandson was held under suspicion of starting the blaze. On June 23, after several operations in the hospital, Betty Shabazz died. She was 63 years old. On July 10, Malcolm, then 12, pleaded guilty to the juvenile equivalent of manslaughter and arson. He was sentenced to 18 months in a juvenile facility for troubled adolescents. He remained in state custody for almost four years. In April 2001, he was sent home with an electronic monitoring device, but soon ended up back in detention due to curfew violations. In January 2002, he was arrested in Middletown, New York on robbery and burglary charges. That September, he was sentenced to 3½ years in prison. He received parole in May 2006.

I didn’t mean for my grandmother to get hurt. I wasn’t thinking anything like that would happen. [I thought] she would go to the fire escape [but] she walked through the fire to get to me. I didn’t think she would walk through a fire for me. People say [to me] “Oh you are the one who burned down your grandmother’s house?” [But]…it didn’t really happen like that. I’ve always told the same story. [I was] coerced to say something else, because [I was told] it would be better for me. [I was told] I would go to jail forever…

    breaks his silence? what does malcolms GRANDSON, a NOBODY, has to say that its important he ‘breaks his silence’?

    posing, badly, like an icon is laughable at best, moronic and pointless at worst.

    aside from being a consummate fukk up and career criminal, what does he have to offer the world?

  • 8-22-2009 5:58 am

    what? black people dont plan their kids?! you r kelly lookin ass reject, go piss on some kids ya lil fathead f**k!

    What is the point of this article? Many of us already know the story or have at least heard of the details that surrounded his incarceration. I can understand where he is coming from as far as his childhood but there are many individuals who have or who are currently going through what he has experienced in his life but does that cause them to set fires or even engage in criminal activity? This young man obviously needs help especially considering that he spoke about his mother being in mental hospitals. The only thing that makes him insane is that he has yet to admit to any wrong doing. Whether it is setting the fire that killed his grandma or his involvement in other criminal activities. I am not saying he is a bad person but he is experiencing some mental health issues that need to be addressed. When he recognizes that he is not his grandfather Malcolm X and he is his on person he can then begin to get his life in order and concentrate on trying to be the best person he can be. We are placed on this earth with a certain gift and he should try to find out what his gift is and share that gift with world.Stop making excuses for your behavior and own up to your actions and then and only then will you be set free from your past. If he doesn’t do any of these things then he will continue to be in out of prisons and mental health institutions. It is a sad story because he is still a young man and can turn his life around.

    The person that can accept or deny his apology is dead. Burned (over 85% ??) of her body. And why? Because she wouldn’t let him do what he wanted to do. I myself am terribly sad, but LIFE GOES ON…I can’t worry about him nor whether or not he’s forgiven and accepted by the general public. I have a two year old daughter with him and I’m terribly afraid that she will develop some “mental cancer” (Willie Lynch Syndrome) because her father abandoned her (because of his mental disorders)and they say that mental illness is genetic….So, if you think you feel confused how do u think I really feel? I hear my baby calling day in and day out for a father that pretends she doesn’t exist. I am the one that will have to stand in his place and tell her that it wasn’t her fault and that he was incapable of being what she needed. So the cycle of the BASTARD SEED starts all over again and nobody is willing to do a damn thing about it because THEY DON’T CARE…And that’s exactly what a sociopath/psychopath is..A non-caring, %&!#$@ individual.. He’s not Malcolm X. and he doesn’t care about Black people. Look at what they say blacks did to MAlcolm X. Do u really suppose he cares for US? How can u do more for people in Mali/DUBAI/SYRIA ETC… than in your own family?? Now if that’s not insanity I don’t know what is..But then again, They consider my child a bastard so why would they do for her or care for her well-being?? Thank God for people like THOSE IN THE NATION OF ISLAM.. True story.. They ARE MORE THAN THERE FOR MY DAUGHTER..THEY MUST BE THE REAL DEAL!!!

    I’m done with this post. I’ve said what I’ve had to say.. Now I’m going to build a foundation for my daughter and start her on the path to her own legacy. Feel free to holla at me on Saudi X. Shabazz @Myspace.com But I warn you…If you write me, state FACTS NOT OPINIONS because I’m in no mood to argue over devils…(JINN)

  • 8-21-2009 3:37 pm

    ONE CANNOT BE FORGIVEN IF ONE FEELS THEY’VE DONE NO WRONG…..A SOCIOPATH HAS NO CONSCIOUS SO WHAT IS THERE TO BE FORGIVEN FOR??

  • 8-20-2009 8:11 pm

    To be totally honest, I don’t know what to think.I hear the same story of younger black males. I can honestly say that everyone deserves the chance redeem themselfs,So until that time he choose to do that or to continue to make excuses,It is his soul thats in question!And all other’s should step back & keep all judgements to themselves,I’ve read the story of his grandfather too many times to count,In his later years didn’t he speak of peace??? And not to judge people!!! Or did these people who have written their comments forgotten that!!!!!

    Read this article, then read this:

    Profile of the Sociopath
    This website summarizes some of the common features of descriptions of the behavior of sociopaths.

    Glibness and Superficial Charm

    Manipulative and Conning
    They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.

    Grandiose Sense of Self
    Feels entitled to certain things as “their right.”

    Pathological Lying
    Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.

    Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
    A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.

    Shallow Emotions
    When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.

    Incapacity for Love

    Need for Stimulation
    Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.

    Callousness/Lack of Empathy
    Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others’ feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.

    Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
    Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.

    Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
    Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet “gets by” by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.

    Irresponsibility/Unreliability
    Not concerned about wrecking others’ lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.

    Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
    Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.

    Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
    Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.

    Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility
    Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.

    ——————————————————————————–

    Other Related Qualities:

    Contemptuous of those who seek to understand them
    Does not perceive that anything is wrong with them
    Authoritarian
    Secretive
    Paranoid
    Only rarely in difficulty with the law, but seeks out situations where their tyrannical behavior will be tolerated, condoned, or admired
    Conventional appearance
    Goal of enslavement of their victim(s)
    Exercises despotic control over every aspect of the victim’s life
    Has an emotional need to justify their crimes and therefore needs their victim’s affirmation (respect, gratitude and love)
    Ultimate goal is the creation of a willing victim
    Incapable of real human attachment to another
    Unable to feel remorse or guilt
    Extreme narcissism and grandiose
    May state readily that their goal is to rule the world

    (The above traits are based on the psychopathy checklists of H. Cleckley and R. Hare.)

    ——————————————————————————–

    NOTE: In the 1830’s this disorder was called “moral insanity.” By 1900 it was changed to “psychopathic personality.” More recently it has been termed “antisocial personality disorder” in the DSM-III and DSM-IV. Some critics have complained that, in the attempt to rely only on ‘objective’ criteria, the DSM has broadened the concept to include too many individuals. The APD category includes people who commit illegal, immoral or self-serving acts for a variety of reasons and are not necessarily psychopaths.

    ——————————————————————————–

    DSM-IV Definition

    Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a lack of regard for the moral or legal standards in the local culture. There is a marked inability to get along with others or abide by societal rules. Individuals with this disorder are sometimes called psychopaths or sociopaths.

    Diagnostic Criteria (DSM-IV)

    1. Since the age of fifteen there has been a disregard for and violation of the right’s of others, those right’s considered normal by the local culture, as indicated by at least three of the following:
    A. Repeated acts that could lead to arrest.
    B. Conning for pleasure or profit, repeated lying, or the use of aliases.
    C. Failure to plan ahead or being impulsive.
    D. Repeated assaults on others.
    E. Reckless when it comes to their or others safety.
    F. Poor work behavior or failure to honor financial obligations.
    G. Rationalizing the pain they inflict on others.

    2. At least eighteen years in age.

    3. Evidence of a Conduct Disorder, with its onset before the age of fifteen.

    4. Symptoms not due to another mental disorder.

    ——————————————————————————–

    Antisocial Personality Disorder Overview (Written by Derek Wood, RN, BSN, PhD Candidate)

    Antisocial Personality Disorder results in what is commonly known as a Sociopath. The criteria for this disorder require an ongoing disregard for the rights of others, since the age of 15 years. Some examples of this disregard are reckless disregard for the safety of themselves or others, failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors, deceitfulness such as repeated lying or deceit for personal profit or pleasure, and lack of remorse for actions that hurt other people in any way. Additionally, they must have evidenced a Conduct Disorder before the age of 15 years, and must be at least 18 years old to receive this diagnosis.

    People with this disorder appear to be charming at times, and make relationships, but to them, these are relationships in name only. They are ended whenever necessary or when it suits them, and the relationships are without depth or meaning, including marriages. They seem to have an innate ability to find the weakness in people, and are ready to use these weaknesses to their own ends through deceit, manipulation, or intimidation, and gain pleasure from doing so.

    They appear to be incapable of any true emotions, from love to shame to guilt. They are quick to anger, but just as quick to let it go, without holding grudges. No matter what emotion they state they have, it has no bearing on their future actions or attitudes.

    They rarely are able to have jobs that last for any length of time, as they become easily bored, instead needing constant change. They live for the moment, forgetting the past, and not planning the future, not thinking ahead what consequences their actions will have. They want immediate rewards and gratification. There currently is no form of psychotherapy that works with those with antisocial personality disorder, as those with this disorder have no desire to change themselves, which is a prerequisite. No medication is available either. The only treatment is the prevention of the disorder in the early stages, when a child first begins to show the symptoms of conduct disorder.

    THE PSYCHOPATH NEXT DOOR (Source: http://chericola57.tripod.com/infinite.html)

    Psychopath. We hear the word and images of Bernardo, Manson and Dahmer pop into our heads; no doubt Ted Bundy too. But they’re the bottom of the barrel — most of the two million psychopaths in North America aren’t murderers. They’re our friends, lovers and co-workers. They’re outgoing and persuasive, dazzling you with charm and flattery. Often you aren’t even aware they’ve taken you for a ride — until it’s too late.

    Psychopaths exhibit a Jekyll and Hyde personality. “They play a part so they can get what they want,” says Dr. Sheila Willson, a Toronto psychologist who has helped victims of psychopaths. The guy who showers a woman with excessive attention is much more capable of getting her to lend him money, and to put up with him when he strays. The new employee who gains her co-workers’ trust has more access to their chequebooks. And so on. Psychopaths have no conscience and their only goal is self-gratification. Many of us have been their victims — at work, through friendships or relationships — and not one of us can say, “a psychopath could never fool me.”

    Think you can spot one? Think again. In general, psychopaths aren’t the product of broken homes or the casualties of a materialistic society. Rather they come from all walks of life and there is little evidence that their upbringing affects them. Elements of a psychopath’s personality first become evident at a very early age, due to biological or genetic factors. Explains Michael Seto, a psychologist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental health in Toronto, by the time that a person hits their late teens, the disorder is almost certainly permanent. Although many clinicians use the terms psychopath and sociopath interchangeably, writes psychopath expert Robert Hare on his book ‘Without Conscience’, a sociopath’s criminal behavior is shaped by social forces and is the result of a dysfunctional environment.

    Psychopaths have only a shallow range of emotions and lack guilt, says Hare. They often see themselves as victims, and lack remorse or the ability to empathize with others. “Psychopaths play on the fact that most of us are trusting and forgiving people,” adds Seto. The warning signs are always there; it’s just difficult to see them because once we trust someone, the friendship becomes a blinder.

    Even lovers get taken for a ride by psychopaths. For a psychopath, a romantic relationship is just another opportunity to find a trusting partner who will buy into the lies. It’s primarily why a psychopath rarely stays in a relationship for the long term, and often is involved with three or four partners at once, says Willson. To a psychopath, everything about a relationship is a game. Willson refers to the movie ‘Sliding Doors’ to illustrate her point. In the film, the main character comes home early after just having been fired from her job. Only moments ago, her boyfriend has let another woman out the front door. But in a matter of minutes he is the attentive and concerned boyfriend, taking her out to dinner and devoting the entire night to comforting her. All the while he’s planning to leave the next day on a trip with the other woman.

    The boyfriend displays typical psychopathic characteristics because he falsely displays deep emotion toward the relationship, says Willson. In reality, he’s less concerned with his girlfriend’s depression than with making sure she’s clueless about the other woman’s existence. In the romance department, psychopaths have an ability to gain your affection quickly, disarming you with words, intriguing you with grandiose plans. If they cheat you’ll forgive them, and one day when they’ve gone too far, they’ll leave you with a broken heart (and an empty wallet). By then they’ll have a new player for their game.

    The problem with their game is that we don’t often play by their rules. Where we might occasionally tell a white lie, a psychopath’s lying is compulsive. Most of us experience some degree of guilt about lying, preventing us from exhibiting such behavior on a regular basis. “Psychopaths don’t discriminate who it is they lie to or cheat,” says Seto. “There’s no distinction between friend, family and sucker.”

    No one wants to be the sucker, so how do we prevent ourselves from becoming close friends or getting into a relationship with a psychopath? It’s really almost impossible, say Seto and Willson. Unfortunately, laments Seto, one way is to become more suspicious and less trusting of others. Our tendency is to forgive when we catch a loved one in a lie. “Psychopaths play on this fact,” he says. “However, I’m certainly not advocating a world where if someone lies once or twice, you never speak to them again.” What you can do is look at how often someone lies and how they react when caught. Psychopaths will lie over and over again, and where other people would sincerely apologize, a psychopath may apologize but won’t stop.

    Psychopaths also tend to switch jobs as frequently as they switch partners, mainly because they don’t have the qualities to maintain a job for the long haul. Their performance is generally erratic, with chronic absences, misuse of company resources and failed commitments. Often they aren’t even qualified for the job and use fake credentials to get it. Seto talks of a patient who would get marketing jobs based on his image; he was a presentable and charming man who layered his conversations with educational and occupational references. But it became evident that the man hadn’t a clue what he was talking about, and was unable to hold down a job.

    How do you make sure you don’t get fooled when you’re hiring someone to baby-sit your child or for any other job? Hire based on reputation and not image, says Willson. Check references thoroughly. Psychopaths tend to give vague and inconsistent replies. Of course the best way to solve this problem would be to cure psychopaths of their ‘illness.’ But there’s no recipe for treating them, say psychiatrists. Today’s traditional methods of psychotherapy (psychoanalysis, group and one-on-one therapy) and drug treatments have failed. Therapy is more likely to work when an individual admits there’s a problem and wants to change. The common problem with psychopaths, says Sets, “Is they don’t see a problem with their behavior.”

    Psychopaths don’t seek therapy willingly, says Seto. Rather, they’re pushed into it by a desperate relative or by a court order. To a psychopath, a therapist is just one more person who must be conned, and the psychopath plays the part right until the therapist is convinced of his or her ‘rehabilitation.’

    Even though we can’t treat psychopaths effectively with therapy, it doesn’t mean we can’t protect ourselves, writes Hare. Willson agrees, citing the most important factor in keeping psychopaths at bay is to know your vulnerabilities. We need to “realize our own potential and maximize our strengths” so that our insecurities don’t overcome us. Because, she says, a psychopath is a chameleon who becomes “an image of what you haven’t done for yourself.” Over time, she says, “their appearance of perfection will begin to crack,” but by that time you will have been emotionally and perhaps financially scathed. There comes a time when you realize there’s no point in searching for answers; the only thing is to move on.

    THE MALIGNANT PERSONALITY:

    These people are mentally ill and extremely dangerous! The following precautions will help to protect you from the destructive acts of which they are capable.

    First, to recognize them, keep the following guidelines in mind.

    (1) They are habitual liars. They seem incapable of either knowing or telling the truth about anything.

    (2) They are egotistical to the point of narcissism. They really believe they are set apart from the rest of humanity by some special grace.

    (3) They scapegoat; they are incapable of either having the insight or willingness to accept responsibility for anything they do. Whatever the problem, it is always someone else’s fault.

    (4) They are remorselessly vindictive when thwarted or exposed.

    (5) Genuine religious, moral, or other values play no part in their lives. They have no empathy for others and are capable of violence. Under older psychological terminology, they fall into the category of psychopath or sociopath, but unlike the typical psychopath, their behavior is masked by a superficial social facade.

    If you have come into conflict with such a person or persons, do the following immediately!

    (1) Notify your friends and relatives of what has happened.

    Do not be vague. Name names, and specify dates and circ**stances. Identify witnesses if possible and provide supporting doc**entation if any is available.

    (2) Inform the police. The police will do nothing with this information except to keep it on file, since they are powerless to act until a crime has been committed. Unfortunately, that often is usually too late for the victim. Nevertheless, place the information in their hands.

    Obviously, if you are assaulted or threatened before witnesses, you can get a restraining order, but those are palliative at best.

    (3) Local law enforcement agencies are usually under pressure if wealthy or politically powerful individuals are involved, so include state and federal agencies as well and tell the locals that you have. In my own experience, one agency that can help in a pinch is the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service or (in Canada) Victims Services at your local police unit. It is not easy to think of the IRS as a potential friend, but a Swedish study showed that malignant types (the Swedes called them bullies) usually commit some felony or other by the age of twenty. If the family is wealthy, the fact may never come to light, but many felonies involve tax evasion, and in such cases, the IRS is interested indeed. If large amounts of money are involved, the IRS may solve all your problems for you. For obvious reasons the Drug Enforcement Agency may also be an appropriate agency to approach. The FBI is an important agency to contact, because although the FBI does not have jurisdiction over murder or assault, if informed, they do have an active interest in any other law enforcement agencies that do not follow through with an honest investigation and prosecution should a murder occur. Civil rights are involved at that point. No local crooked lawyer, judge, or corrupt police official wants to be within a country mile if that comes to light! It is in such cases that wealthy psychopaths discover just how firm the “friends” they count on to cover up for them really are! Even some of the drug cartel biggies will scuttle for cover if someone picks up the brick their thugs hide under. Exposure is bad for business.

    (4) Make sure that several of your friends have the information in the event something happens to you. That way, an appropriate investigation will follow if you are harmed. Don’t tell other people who has the information, because then something bad could happen to them as well. Instruct friends to take such an incident to the newspapers and other media.

    If you are dealing with someone who has considerable money, you must realize that they probably won’t try to harm you themselves, they will contract with someone to make the hit. The malignant type is a coward and will not expose himself or herself to personal danger if he or she can avoid it.

    He’s safe and happy and doing well, eh Rajaemusic?? Why don’t you ask him if his daughter is safe and doing well?? Oh wait, HE CAN’T ANSWER THAT QUESTION…MAYBE I SHOULD ANSWER FOR HIM….SHE’S SAFE, DOING WELL, AND SHE’S GOING TO BE HELLUVA LOT BETTER OFF THAN HER DEADBEAT FATHER. NOW RUN AND TELL EM THAT.

  • 8-15-2009 12:21 pm

    I came across this blog on the farce video that Aliar and her subject put together. This note was posted from: Rajaemusic…

    As a close friend who speaks to him a lot, I want to take the time to say that Malcolm is doing well. He is studying, he is safe and he is happy!

    Now what really irks the hell out of me is when I read about the groupies that are happy to know him and happy to be in communication with him. I learned that my daughters father was in Syria from the Internet (he refuses to pay child support) and I got ridiculous calls from girls that HE GAVE MY TELEPHONE NUMBER OUT TO.. THAT ASIDE…. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND WHY THIS YOUNG MAN CAN COMMUNICATE REGULARLY WITH GROUPIES AND THOSE IN THE MEDIA BUT HE CAN’T PICK UP A TELEPHONE AND ASK IF HIS DAUGHTER IS ALIVE AND WELL??? HE HAS OLD PHOTOS OF HIS DAUGHTER ON HIS MYSPACE PAGE TO MAKE IT APPEAR AS IF HE IS A LOVING, CONCERNED, FATHER AND YET HE HASNT EVEN PICKED UP THE PHONE. AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THOSE SAME GIRLS RUB IT IN MY FACE THAT HE CARES FOR THEM MORE THAN HIS OWN DAUGHTER AND WHEN I TRIED TO TELL HIM HE THOUGHT HE WAS WONDERFUL. I SENT HIM AN E-MAIL TELLING HIM THE BABY NEEDED DIAPERS AND HE SENT ME AN E-MAIL BACK OF A SONG A GIRL WROTE FOR HIM… NOW I LAUGH OUT LOUD WHEN I HEAR PEOPLE SAY OH MALCOLM X. GRANDSON IS DOING WELL (WHEN HIS OWN FLESH AND BLOOD IS A STATISTIC) OR MALCOLM X. GRANDSON IS GOING TO BE A GREAT LEADER…. I REALIZE THAT THERE ARE MORE DELUSIONAL PEOPLE THAN I PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT.

    EVEN STILL I TOLD HIM THAT I AM NOT IN THE PICTURE BUT HE NEEDS TO MAN UP WITH REGARD TO HIS DAUGHTER AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID?? I BROUGHT THE BABY TO SEE HIM IN HIS LUXURY TRUMP TOWER APARTMENT AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED?? HIS HOMEBOY STOPPED TO “DA CRIB” AND HE BOUNCED…YUP HE BLEW IT, LEFT ME AND THE BABY THERE WITH NO WAY TO GET BACK HOME. WE MADE IT BACK HOME BECAUSE HIS AUNT THAT HATES MY BLOODY GUTS GAVE US MONEY TO GET HOME BUT AFTER SHE SPECIFIED HER DISDAIN.. NOW HE WANTS ME TO BRING MY DAUGHTER TO SYRIA TO SEE HIM (FOR A FEW HOURS OF COURSE) AND HE’S WONDERING WHY I DON’T CARE IF HE COMES OR GOES ANYWHERE ANYMORE. If he would leave his own daughter stranded in New York what do you think he would do in another country?? I’ll tell you, He would be on the first plane back here in the US and he wouldn’t give a rat’s azz if his daughter had to take a rowboat back!

    As I said….. We should all just leave him alone and let ALLAH Deal WITH HIM… (MAlcolm X. himself said that Allah would burn the brains of those gone astray.) So his lack of remorse over his deeds past and present shouldn’t affect our own emotions.

    We can’t change others, we can only change ourselves… In closing, I don’t wish the man any harm but he has the hand of God against him and I don’t want to be around when the thunderbolts start flying.

    “..maintaining the existing social and political order.”

    Do you notice the word “maintain”?? Now if Blacks in the 60’s were fighting for change, Cointelpro was interested in MAINTAINING THE EXISTING SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ORDER… What does this really mean??? They weren’t about to change a damn thing and “THEY” would resort to dirty tricks and MURDER to maintain…Sounds like The New WORLD ORDER IS JUST A CARBON COPY OF THE OLD…

  • 8-15-2009 11:16 am

    COINTELPRO (an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program) was a series of covert, and often illegal, projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at investigating and disrupting dissident political organizations within the United States. The FBI used covert operations from its inception, however formal COINTELPRO operations took place between 1956 and 1971.[2] The FBI’s motivation at the time was “protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order.”

    According to FBI records, 85% of COINTELPRO resources were expended on infiltrating, disrupting, marginalizing, and/or subverting groups suspected of being subversive,[3] such as communist and socialist organizations; the women’s rights movement; people suspected of building a “coalition of militant black nationalist groups” ranging from the Black Panther Party and Republic of New Afrika to “those in the non-violent civil rights movement” such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and others associated with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Congress of Racial Equality, and other civil rights groups; a broad range of organizations labelled “New Left”, including Students for a Democratic Society, the National Lawyers Guild, the Weathermen, almost all groups protesting the Vietnam War, and even individual student demonstrators with no group affiliation; and nationalist groups such as those “seeking independence for Puerto Rico.” The other 15% of COINTELPRO resources were expended to marginalize and subvert “white hate groups,” including the Ku Klux Klan and National States’ Rights Party. [4]

    The directives governing COINTELPRO were issued by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who ordered FBI agents to “expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize” the activities of these movements and their leaders.[5][6]

    AND THEY ARE STILL VERY ACTIVE TODAY EXCEPT TODAY THEY WALK UP AND INTRODUCE THEMSELVES TO YOU AND HAND YOU THEIR BUSINESS CARD….OR, THEY’LL FOLLOW YOU WHILE DRIVING, TAP YOUR TELEPHONES, MONITOR YOUR CORRESPONDENCE, ETC…

    My grandfather was in the morgue when Malcolm X. was being autopsied and he told me first hand HE WAS MA**ACRED. You can’t see the extent of the damage to his body from the photos that have been circulated. When you see the man before you, nude, bloody, and FULL OF HOLES, IT CHANGES THE WAY YOU LOOK AT THE WORLD….

    AND TO MAKE AN OLD LIE DISAPPaER…. I CAN TELL U THIS…..ELIJAH MUHAMMAD DIDN’T “ORDER” THE HIT ON MALCOLM X…… Remember I told you the truth is there if you KNOW WHERE TO LOOK.. The theory of Occams Razor would say that the NOI WAS THE MOST OBVIOUS GROUP.. but look deeper…… MAlcolm X. gave us the clues himself…. AS WELL AS THE NAME OF THE WHITE MAN THAT PAID THE $10,000.00 FOR THE DEED..
    The murder of Malcolm X. was PLANNED RIGHT DOWN TO THE BLUEPRINTS OF THE LAYOUT OF THE AUDUBON BALLROOM…. The guns used were MILITARY ISSUED and the a**a**ins TRAINED… IF you need a little help, just think about the Bay of Pigs Invasion………
    In the end, TRUTH ALWAYS PREVAILS OVER A LIE….

    I have to say something to the person that questioned the Way Dr. Betty raised her children… Now I think that you’ve erred in your statement. Betty had to raise 6 girls by herself, plus work, plus spread her late husband’s message. That woman did the BEST DAMN JOB IN THE WORLD. and on to top it off SHE DID COME TO THE AIDE OF HER GRANDSON TIME AND TIME AGAIN…And yes, he was ANGRY AT BETTY FOR NOT ALLOWING HIM TO RETURN TO BE WITH HIS MOTHER…. So, Betty went ABOVE and BEYOND for her children, and grandchildren, and I think if she were alive today, she would be there for her GREAT-Grandchildren!!

    Now, I have my own issues with Malcolm “Latif” Shabazz but I have DAMN GOOD REASONS FOR MY DISGUST… If you think that this young man is REDEEMED IN THE SITE OF THE LORD, THEN YOU ARE MISTAKEN…Yes, I have letters written in his own hand that paint a picture most sad….But that will be revealed in time…

    As for Aliar S. King, I also have letters written in her own hand to the subject of her article and please believe me when I tell you that this “broad” (she’s not a lady and her husband would be shocked..) but it is what it is.. Yes, she’s VERY MARRIED WITH CHILD but you wouldn’t have guessed it by her correspondence.. And her purpose in writing the article (She was raised in the NOI) well, I think you can judge that one for yourself…But to make a long story very short, Aliar and HIS OWN AUNT played him like a two-dollar ho and then they kept the change…True story..

    The fact of the matter is this.. Malcolm isn’t confused, HE KNOWS, he’s in A SELF-IMPOSED STATE OF DENIAL…It’s easier to pretend a problem isn’t there until the problem gets too big to hide which is X.actly what’s happening now..

    I’ve hosted his relatives in my own home and his mother is Grandmother to my own daughter. She HAS NEVER HEALED FROM WITNESSING HER FATHER’S MURDER.. And I don’t blame her. My grandfather was in the morgue when Malcolm X. was being autopsied and he told me first hand HE WAS MASSACRED. You can’t see the extent of the damage to his body from the photos that have been circulated. When you see the man before you, nude, bloody, and FULL OF HOLES, IT CHANGES THE WAY YOU LOOK AT THE WORLD….

    I blame 2 women for Malcolm’s downfall and disgrace. He has been MANIPULATED BY ADULTS FOR YEARS AND ALL IN THE NAME OF MALCOLM X. And to be blunt, half of those old clowns talking Malcolm X. this and that, HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM WHEN HE WAS ALIVE BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID OF HIM AND THEY LOVED TO SHUCK N JIVE FOR THE PEOPLE HE HIMSELF SPOKE OUT AGAINST.

    I believe in redemption..I believe Malcolm can indeed change, but HE HAS TO WANT TO CHANGE and he will only do that when he realizes that the way he’s been doing things for 12 years has been foolhearted.

    I will admit my only peeve with him is that he cares more about being the man in MIDDLETOWN, NEW YORK AND BAGGIN YOUNG, SEXUALLY CHARGED GIRLS, AND BEING A BLOOD, THAN HE DOES ABOUT PROVIDING FOR HIS DAUGHTER, BUT SUCH IS LIFE..

    I KNOW AND UNDERSTAND HE IS JUST AN ORDINARY “JOE” THAT IS AN EX-CONVICT, THAT ISN’T INTERESTED IN RESPONSIBILITY. SO, LEAVE HIM ALONE AND LET ALLAH DEAL WITH HIM.

    AND TO MAKE AN OLD LIE DISAPPER…. I CAN TELL U THIS…..ELIJAH MUHAMMAD DIDN’T “ORDER” THE HIT ON MALCOLM X…… Remember I told you the truth is there if you KNOW WHERE TO LOOK.. The theory of Occams Razor would say that the NOI WAS THE MOST OBVIOUS GROUP.. but look deeper…… MAlcolm X. gave us the clues himself…. AS WELL AS THE NAME OF THE WHITE MAN THAT PAID THE $10,000.00 FOR THE DEED..

    The murder of Malcolm X. was PLANNED RIGHT DOWN TO THE BLUEPRINTS OF THE LAYOUT OF THE AUDUBON BALLROOM…. The guns used were MILITARY ISSUED and the assassins TRAINED… IF you need a little help, just think about the Bay of Pigs Invasion………

    In the end, TRUTH ALWAYS PREVAILS OVER A LIE….

    This artcile is heart breaking, because you see a second Malcolm. If he doesn’t resemble his grandfather I don’t know what to say. Everybody just sees Shabazz and then remebers Malcolm X as an iconic figure. But do we forget that Malcolm X was in and out jails, was once infatuated with white skin, and torn away from his mother the same way as his grandson. The passion that Malcolm X had he wasn’t born with it, but he learned it; so his Grandson might be ready to find his passion. Shabazz is living the life that was dealt to him; he’s the only one that can alter his future. Having to live life without a father figure can destroy a young man in more ways than one, and the only male figure that has anything in common with him(Malcolm X) has never meet. People don’t be so soon to judge this guy has big shoes to fill. ONLY BEST WISHES TO YOU MALCOLM LATEEF SHABAZZ.

  • 8-13-2009 5:17 am

    I read everything this fool said, and he needs to GROW UP! The first step in being an adult, is accepting responsibility for ones actions, every step of the way, this kid, is making excuses for his actions, blaming everyone else. Clearly he is some kind of psychopath, and has not gotten the proper help he needs. Fool! GO BACK INTO HIDING, OR BETTER YET, SET UR DAMN SELF ON FIRE!!!

  • 8-12-2009 12:57 am

    sounds like an @sshole, why is everything about what everyone did to you, if he realizes how bad his situation is he must realize we all go through stuff, not too many crystal stairs in bmore forreal and i know in philly its the same, he needs to man up, he stole the car set the fire all that nonsense, just like his aunt tried to kill farrakhan, he needs to man up and atone then move on

  • 8-11-2009 5:42 pm

    people, we don’t know wat this man has been through in his life, so stop judging him to be in the wrong, we as black people we know wat white would have us to believe, “black is bad, white is right”

    This is a good article blog foreal.

  • 8-6-2009 8:10 pm

    I just think that these pictures he took, trying to look like his famous grandfather, are corny as hell. I could put on a pair of birth control glasses and look more like Malcolm than this boy does. And just because he IS the grandson, doesn’t mean he is LIKE his grandfather.

  • 8-5-2009 12:34 am

    i agree with bigj97216. his story just show that he has not taken responsibility for any of his actions. i worked at a group home for troubled teens and their was this girl that burned down her moms house while everyone was in it because the moms boyfriend slapped her. she never apologized for what she did. i worked there for over a year and that girl was still always getting in trouble. the first thing that would come out her mouth that it wasnt her fault. same s**t like this dude right here.its as if malcolm is trying to make u feel sorry for him but at the end of the your life is your life and you make the decisions. he is definitely a sociopath!

  • 8-3-2009 4:47 pm

    This was an informative story. Based on my 16 years working in the criminal justice system including police work, and my years as a therapist, this guy is a sociopath. The fact that he takes no responsibility for his actions and blames others is a classic symptom of a sociopath. To all of you claiming he is forgiven, are you god’s? How do you know he is forgiven? did the article say he has asked for forgiveness? have you heard him ask for forgiveness? I see nothing is this story that says to me he is sorry, or takes responsibility. I you read closely you will see he blames his grandmother.

  • 7-20-2009 10:44 am

    Mecka, can you please just sign over your parental rights? You have no personal interest in Yazzy, you don’t provide for her well-being, and you’re not in her life. I don’t want to go to court, I don’t want child support, and I don’t want DRAMA. If you sign over your rights, I will have no reason to contact you, and you won’t be legally responsible for a child that you don’t care for. At least give another brother the opportunity to adopt her and be a father to her in your absence. PLEASE, DO THE RIGHT THING.. SIGN THE PAPERS!!!!

    LOOK AT MALCOLM X.’S EYES IN THE PHOTO POSTED.. DO U SEE THE FOCUS, THE DETERMINATION, THE DRIVE?? NOW LOOK AT MALCOLM SHABAZZ’S PHOTO.. LOOK CLOSELY.. HE CAN’T FOCUS, HE’S TRYING TO HARD.. THIS ISN’T AN INTERPRETATION.. LOOK AT THE REST OF THE PHOTOS AND USE YOUR INTUITION TO GUIDE YOU… SAUDI X.
