Did you read the book thoroughly? He taught black empowerment and non-passivity, but outright hatred was never his rhetoric.

well that's what i got out of it but i was just confused as to why you mentioned that this is what white people tend to focus on. but i think i get what you're saying now.

NOI, Islam, black "militarism", tend to evoke knee-jerk reverse racism reactions.

While I don't subscribe wholeheartedly to any of the abovementioned, I can agree with the overall premises that each preached at the time.

Malcolm started to out Elijah for the dirty shyt he was doing behind closed doors. Plus he was becoming to powerful and had his own following. Add that him and King were going to start collaborating and you have a lot of enemies.



Lol at whites being uncomfortable with Malcolm. They know deep down that he had a right to feel the way he did in the beginning.

From Mandingo amongst other works if I'm not mistaken...
In the late 1960’s, Harry Courlander—a white man—composed The African, a fictional work about a young African boy who is captured, made to endure the horrors of the mid-Atlantic passage, and eventually sold into slavery in America. In 1978 he sued Haley for plagiarism. Upon expressing regret that at least 81 passages were lifted virtually verbatim from Courlander’s novel and recast in Roots, and upon the Judge’s unambiguous finding that Haley was guilty of plagiarism, Haley agreed to an out of court settlement whereby he would pay Courlander $650,000 (roughly 2 million dollars in today’s terms).
