i am almost done with this. i have to read the introduction and epilogue. i have read through the main part of the book.my favorite chapter is chapter ten( called satan) which goes into the beliefs of the nation of islam(yakub and the creation of white people) i like alex haley as a writer because he's direct and not poetic. a lot of white writers are too poetic and like to sniff their own fartsi also like the part where he talks about his trip to mecca and how seeing white muslims changed his view of white people. It shows how deluded he was thinking that arabs and muslims in general were non-racist. if black africans flooded saudi arabia arabs would become racist just like white peoplemalcolm x was also inconsistent and hypocritcal. he was whining about white people stripping the black man of his culture while he is for stripping white people of their culture by converting them to islam. Converting white people to islam would make them culturally arab he would whine about the bad things white christians did while ignoring all the bad stuff muslims did(arab slave trade for example).he would whine about christians calling non-christians pagan while muslims call non-muslims kaffirs
