Malcolm X- Pirate of the Caribbean

X Marks The Spot

(Inspired by Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter)

While Malcolm X was a well known Civil Rights Activist, one could argue his other career was a lot more interesting.  You see when Malcolm X was not promoting human rights; Malcolm X was fighting the government another way…at sea with violence and sometimes criminal acts. In other words, he was a pirate.

As a young boy, Malcolm was brilliant but he had a grudge against the government and white people for institutionalizing his mother and murdering his father.  As he grew more detached from education he grew closer to the heads of the criminal underworld, more specifically the pirate underworld. He began smuggling, drug-dealing, gambling, robbery, and other endangering and criminal activities of the pirate life-style.  Malcolm reputation as Detroit Red the pirate gained him famous status among his peers and infamy from the law. It would be only a matter of time before these behaviors catch up with him and he is imprisoned. While in prison, he is begins to reinvent himself in efforts to effectively combat the government that he almost forced the lifestyle that almost destroyed him and destroyed his family.

Malcolm did not simply remove the violent and aggressive tendencies of his personality when he converted to The Nation of Islam; he embraced this side of him against the government that he no longer felt served all of its citizens.  When Malcolm was not spreading the Nation of Islam, he destroyed shipments of alcohol and other goods that were destroying the communities of black people to save his people and send a message.  He did not condone violence but he did what he thought was necessary to save his people.

Now Malcolm, retired for the sake of his family, through his pirate contacts has learned of a treasure that will effectively remove hate and prejudice from the world. With this treasure he can finally have abolished racism and created world peace. He is only given one clue however. X marks the Spot.
