Malcolm X

A lot has been going on in this book that I have been reading. The stuff that stands out most to me is this whole Yacub's theory foney baloney nonsense. It is understood amongst many scientists that the original people came from Africa or Pangea. As the continents shifted and people began to live in different climates their skin colors started to change. Eventually we ended up with all of the different colors that we have today. The theory is right in saying that the first people on earth were black. This evil scientist crap just blows my mind. It's even more ridiculous than scientology. I understand that throughout history the "white man" has belittled other races at times and has been the cause of many issues, but so have other races. To think that the overall purpose of the "white man" is to be devilish is just silly. There has been genocide in Africa and in Asia that the "white man" has had nothing to do with. It is too general of a statement to accuse the "white man" as being devilish and generalization is one of my pet peeves. People have the right to believe in whatever they want to and I don't want to get into my views on organized religion, but believing that another race is there to make your lives miserable? Doesn't that just seem like a potential cause of trouble? You cannot live your life full of hatred. You eventually have to look for a truce or a way to work things out.
