By posting those quotes, I was trying to show you how his opinion on "race" evolved to the point where he had no problem with interracial marriage, if I recall correctly, he described it as "two human beings loving one another". That's hardly the talk of a segregationist.
But it was. At the end of his life, cut short as it was, he was still admonishing "sincere white people"* (he had come at least that far) to work among their own kind while blacks worked among their respective 'kind.' That IS the talk of a segregationist.
* Haley, Alex, The Autobiography of Malcolm X.
Those excerpts (like the one with his approval of interracial marriage) I posted where from some of his last interviews. I've read his autobiography plenty of times, but the information regarding him doesn't stop there,. Were those interviews I posted in that autobiography?
The comments and the attitude were referenced. None of those quotes negate what I pointed out, which was also from the very last days. As I've said before, I think that had he lived he would have come around, but in the end he was still a segregationist, if a less hateful one.
