Jess, I totally agree with you about the fact that people should just be themselves. There are many people out there who like Malcolm X, try to change the way they look to fit in. I liked the personal connection you made to the way that you tried to change your self-image just like Malcolm did as well. People shouldn't worry at all about what other people think about them as long as they are happy with who they are.

I can totally relate to you when you say that if you could, you would have loved to stay younger for longer (I would too). Time just goes by so fast and when you're just a child, you can't wait to grow older. But once you get to be older, more responsibility, problems, and stress come along with all that. Then it gets to the point where you just want to be a kid again.

I also think that Yacub's History makes no sense at all. What Mr.Yacub supposedly did just can't be scientifically correct. You just can't start with a black race and eventually change it into a white race. I just don't see how this is even possible. I also think that the people that did believe in this silly story, including Malcolm X, just wanted to use this as a way to prove that they were once the dominant or the "superior" race and that the white man was really the "devil".

Josh, I definitely agree with you on the issue about judging a person by the way they look or by their religion. I actually wrote a blog about how people shouldn't be judged without getting to know them better. I really didn't like how Malcolm used to blame the white race as a whole for the oppression of African Americans, but I am glad that he finally came to realize that there are white people out there who are good.
