The origin of this phrase lies in a statement by Malcolm X, in the aftermath of Kennedy's assassination. He made this statement to the press when asked about how he felt about the demise of America's beloved leader. — This unsigned comment was added by 27.4.26.111 (talk).

Perhaps he popularised it, but this phrase and variants of it existed well before his birth. Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 10:55, 24 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
