Malcolm was a better preacher.
But have black heritage
Both are politicians,
Obama stands up for Justice & Democracy and so Malcolm did too.

They do not look like each other. Malcolm X was not a politician, he was a civil rights activist, a leader(teacher/preacher) of the nation of islam so of course he was a better "preacher" and at one time a segregationist.
Obama is a politician, he is pro american and is not a preacher. LOL other than him being black there is no comparison.

I disagree. Malcolm had red hair. His nickname was "Red", during his pimp days. Obama's father was from Kenya. His mother was from Kansas. No red hair. I've never heard Obama preach (he is a Christian, attends Church of Christ), but he is an excellent orator. He is charismatic, is intelligent, and has a boyish look that many perceive as inexperience because of his youthful appearance. Malcolm didn't have youthful features. Malcolm also wasn't a politician. He was a civil rights leader. He never ran for public office. Malcolm first espoused the white man as being aligned with the Devil until he went to his first hajj in Saudi Arabia and saw Muslims of all colors. He came back a changed man. Obama has never spoken in a divisive way at any time in his public life.

Maybe they look like alike sure, but its a stretch to compare them politically, like Bush and Hitler or something. By the way, Malcolm X was an amazing man.

Looks like? You mean physically? No way. Even if their features are similar, which I don't see... their expressions are totally different.
Anything else they appear have in common is not all that consequential, especially when you don't point out their differences.
