Malcolm X (3)

I believe that the teachings of Elijah Muhammad are somewhat hypocritical.  Malcolm and Elijah Muhammed always refer to the black Christians as "brainwashed."  In a sense they are both brainwashing the people who decide to join the muslim religion.  We hear them preaching over and over again how the white man is the devil and that every white man was a slave owner and a horrible person.  This is certainty not true.  There were some people and families that were like this but for sure there were some families that did not have slaves.  

In fact it seems,that there were even whites that were enslaved with the balcks and were forced to do the same type of labor. (http://elliotlakenews.wordpress.com/2007/01/14/yes-virginia-white-slavery-existed/)  This article is saying how white ONE-HALF of slaves in America were white.  This is something that most people can not grasp, including Malcolm himself.  The whole reason he is preaching is to tell muslims about how their black ancestors were slaves and were beaten and raped by the whites.  This article tells us otherwise.  It also states that there were free blacks walking the streets just like any other person.  Although I am not sure how credible this article is,(the author is a conspiracy theorist- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_A._Hoffman_IIit is fascinating to think about the possibility of white slaves and black land owners.  The reason this would be so fascinating is because it something that the general public would generally think is not true.  People always believed pre-Martin Luther King Junior that the blacks were the weaker race.  In fact, there could have been just as many white slaves as black slaves, making the two races equal, just as we should be.  After muslims hear these two powerful men talk (Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X) they get "brainwashed" into thinking that it was only black slaves and nasty and controlling white slave owners.  This is the exact type of "brainwashing" that the Christian race is doing, the thing that Malcolm hates.  This is very hypocritical of him.
