Maclom X post 3

Chapter 10 and 11 are the most important parts of the book, in my eyes. When he meets Bimbi in prison, he was brainwashed into believing that all white people were horrible and were the devils of society. The whole thing about Mr. Yacub seems to be a made up story just to get people to join the Nation of Islam. Malcolm X started to believe in all the nonsense that Bimbi said and Malcolm actually bought into it. I was happy for Malcolm when he started to turn his life around with all the books in the libraries. While I'm reading, I had feeling that something was just wrong the way Malcolm started following Islam. I mean even though you are vulnerable, you don't just listen to a guy that comes up to you and say that only Islam is the way to clear your conscience of all the evil you have committed. However, I do realize Malcolm's point of view because he did want to stop destroying himself any longer and do something productive with his life. I feel like he was brainwashed into becoming an active leader for the Nation of Islam. I highly doubt that a mad scientist would make white people when he lived around only black people. Bimbi did say that there were only black people in the beginning of time. In the following link, is an article that proves that black people were the first pharaohs of the world.

The article above shows about how a man traveled Egypt and and became the first black pharaoh. As I have learned in world history, the first people originated in Africa and then the white people started to migrate. They started to take over the black people because the white people thought they were more civilized. I believe on this theory because I have have watched much about how the skull formation of black people is a link between modern day humans and the neanderthals of ancient Earth. I do not however think that white man was able to become so powerful just by their thoughts. Many people also say that black people are more athletic. Well, if they were, didn't they fight back against the whites? Certain questions are left unanswered but through this history of black people, Malcolm X stated in his movement that black people need to make a movement back to their homelands in Africa.
