The Autobiography of Malcolm X

This book was a very good read. Sure, it took me a whole lot longer than I thought it would, but I definitely enjoyed reading it. I feel as if a lot of the people who left one star reviews are the types who can't understand what empathy means. These types of people found “white devil” too offensive to them so they stopped reading before they could get to see the growth of a regular man who realized the error of his ways and set about trying to change other's lives for the better. Malcolm X may not have been a perfect man, but who is?

Above all, this book made me pretty sad throughout when Malcolm X would talk about what he thought the future would be like or how the system might change in the future. It's not fun to realize how little the core issues of the US or the system that produced these issues has changed over 60 years.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand more about Malcolm X or racism in general.
