On the surface X was speaking everything you wanted to hear. He openly said that whites were the enemy especially blue eyed devils. He was an segregationist and was the precursor to the black power movement. He encouraged violence against whites to obtain freedom and minimize oppression. Ironically he was born in Omaha Nebraska where my father was born and raised. But he was raised in Detroit. If I’m not mistaken he didn’t have his father in his life as he was killed by what they believed was “white supremacy” but I’m not sure there’s proof of that. It’s alleged. X turned to the streets like a lot of young men who don’t have decent father figures to show them right and wrong. He was selling dope in Speakeasys and some more shit. I forget why he goes to jail one of you brothers can help me out with that. But he goes to jail and eventually get down with the NOI.
