Malcom X and Obama do NOT look similar enough to be related. They both have short hair, their both black, but that's where the similarities end.

So to you, all black men look a like, is really what you are saying. Why don't you compare Will Smith to Malcom X? They both have short hair too. Are Will Smith and Obama related?

Grow up.

The supposition of a close family resemblance based on a perceived similar appearance is not valid, it's of the "since a implies b, we have b, therefore a" fallacy.

More personally, I bear a striking resemblance to two people. One is a well known martial artist and the other other is a country and western singer. I'm related to neither and not even distantly.

I can't count the number of times people have tried to pick fights with me because they think I'm that martial artist -- especially since many find his politics irritating. On the other hand, being mistaken for the singer is not too bad since it has resulted being asked for my autograph a few times.

The interesting thing is that in many cases people have become quite angry with me and abusive because I refuse to agree with them that I'm who they think I am.

On the other hand, Malcolm X was a brilliant man who has inspired me and I'm sure many others too.

I think Malcome X could be Obamas real father. It explains why Obama was groomed to be a politician. It explains why William Ayers took him under his wing, in Chicago.
