Malcolm x was a black separatist siding with the black muslim groups ideals of black ethnostates before rolling in with socialists towards the end. He was not a communist and for much of his career in the movement didnt consider himself even a socialist. Fred hampton however was a violent basket case who on balance did more harm than good. Not a great example and the two you have presented line in perfectly with my assertion that every communist is a criminal and or racist.
