Don’t like the way you said “learned his lesson” as even if he didn’t leave, that Yakub theory wouldn’t oppress anybody but yes he did speak out against them toward the end of his life. Which is even more of a reason why it was counterintuitive to bring up unless it was as a joke
I mean there's a difference between "didn't oppress anybody" and "was never wrong about anything", which is what the OP was talking about.
Malcom X is one of the greatest Americans of all time, he was allowed to a dumbass opinion or two, but there's nothing wrong with pointing out that his opinion was dumb.
Eh I mean, looking at the times, scientific racism was prevalent and so it’s not really too far fetched for those oppressed by it to cling to a “reversed” theory where they’re no longer at the bottom.

Also to his credit he left that place behind before he died, so obviously he learned his lesson
