Summary: The Black Mein Kampf
Review: Perhaps the most fitting title to this book would be "The Hate that Hate Produced," (after the 1959 NOI documentary). Righteous anger a'la Robert Williams and the Black Panther movement were understandable responses to the Black situation in America. But this wild combination of pseudoscience and rantings (for example, the chapter "The Making of Devil" which tells a ridiculous story of how a mad Black scientist created a "White devil race." a claim by Elijah that Moses used dynamite aginst the childrn of Israel, Elijah's claimm that God came in human form to him in Detroit to warn him of the White devil race, calling Dr. Martin Luther King ""ignorant" (mind you, Elijah never went past the 4th grade), etc. ad nauseum.

Granted, this mess was psychologically designed for the most ignorant of African-Americans in the ghettoes. But it must also be remembered that the NOI was infamous for fratracide. To those who claim that these crack pot teachings in this book helped reform a lot of people, I say, "Hitler also brought jobs to Germany and Mussolini made the trains run on time-BIG DEAL!"

Summary: The Best book for Brothers
Review: Several people recommended this book to me. They were not shining examples of good character. They all have drug and/or alcohol addiction, they are unemployed and/or broke, and they are very racist against white people. They all seemed to think of themselves as superior to non-black races as well. They brag about the superiority of the black man and the originality of the black people. Meanwhile they chase as many white girls as they can possibly get. Then they make excuses for all their shortcomings and write it of as the imperfection of man yet they think they are God incarnate.

I read the book and got pretty much what I expected. Some aspects I admired like the call to self improvement and self determination. The racial and religeous bigotry I could have done without. It's ugly no matter where or who it comes from.

Reading this book reaffirmed my distaste for religeous and racial intolerance in all its forms. Life is more than race or religeon anyway. Hate consumes itself.

I take into account that this book was written in the era of segregation and it is a testament of the history of racism in America. Just take a look at what's going on on the planet now and you'll get sick at all the racial and religious hate going on from every direction.

Rating: 3 stars
