He does remind me of them too. That's why I will not vote for him for President. I don't think he will win the Democratic nomination over Hillary.

So how old are you exactly? I'm kind of an old fart around here and Malcolm X was killed before I was born. You cannot compare someone from the current generation to someone from a previous generation based on books and movies.
First off Malcolm X did time in prison for burglary and firearms violations. When he got out after 7 years he began meeting with leader form Nation of Islam. He also at the time sought out help for an asocial personality with paranoid trends.
When asked to comment upon the assassination of John F. Kennedy, he replied that it was a case of "chickens coming home to roost," and added that "Chickens coming home to roost never made me sad. It only made me glad."
The Black Panthers advocated violence against anyone who disagreed with their viewpoint.
Barrack has some hurdles to overcome if this is how the people view him

You just kinda contradicted yourself. Unless you actually liked the black panther movement. They did have cool hats.
I'm sure Barry will be happy to have your support. Make sure you're registered to vote, so you can put your money where your mouth is.
GO BARRY!

HE IS A FAR CRY FROM THE PANTHERS AND MALCOLM. YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT EITHER. HUSSEIN OBAMA HAS NOT FOUGHT FOR CIVIL RIGHT HE WAS BORN WITH THEM. THE OTHERS MENTIONED FOUGHT PHYSICALLY AS WELL AS LEGALLY TO EVEN THE COUNTRY OUT. WHATS HAS OBAMA DONE?

In what ways does he remind you of Malcolm and the BPP? I don't know enough about him to support him or to characterize him as similar to the groups/people you list.
